From this video we can all see how the NFL games have changed. He wasa great QB.

 

[Cassandro]

I was a big Roman Gabriel and Fearsome Foursome fan.

Arguably, the best quarterback in Ram history, and has held the team record for the most touchdown passes for over 50 years.

Lack of playoff victories was the only obstacle that kept him out of the Hall Of Fame.

RIP

4x Pro Bowler, 1x All-Pro and 1x MVP winner. RIP Champ.

He was MVP the year Namath won the Super Bowl? I never knew.

At 6'5", he was a huge QB for his day. He was my hero in my youth. Voted the hardest QB in the league to bring down.

Being an Eagles fan I of course remember him with birds and won comeback player of the year in 1973.

Talented QB, but I rarely saw him play. They didn't show many Rams nor Eagles games in Cleveland. Back then the NFL wasn't broadcasting so many games each week. Always remember him as a Ram. Him and Tommy McDonald.

Remember one of my favorite tight ends, Billy Truax?

Roman. What a cool name.

Remember one of my favorite tight ends, Billy Truax?

Do you know who he throws a TD to in the video above? TE Irv Cross, he of NFL Today with Brent Musberger.

I think he just died last year himself.

Roman. What a cool name.

What about Gabriel?
