- First off...Yes, I agree with Roman Gabriel being on the team, of course. BUT - Kurt Warner AND/OR Bob Waterfield (could also backup the Punter, thus saving yet another roster spot) AND/OR Norm Van Brocklin need to be included here. Jim Everett was good for a couple seasons, but he's not better than ANY of those three. Kurt Warner is borderline HOF material (certain HOFer in some people's eyes).
- Who is "Harold Anderson"? Is that "Harold Jackson"?
- Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch and Tom Fears are missing. Possibly Flipper Anderson, if those two
HOFers aren't good enough.
- CoC is correct again on the Deacon part. He's the starter. Arguably the greatest DE that ever lived, and yes, he did play for SD at the end of his career (like Unitas did and Namath did with the Rams) but he's an L.A. Ram no question. If there's a question as to WHO to start (there shouldn't be), but OK, I get it. Then Youngblood can move to the other side. The idea that a player cannot play the opposite side is just ridiculous. Players move all the time. This is also evident in your placing of Nolan Cromwell at SS. He was more of a FS. I understand he should be the starter there, but not at SS. Eddie Meador played BOTH CB and Safety, and Johnnie Johnson was a SS and FS. The point is, lots of players move to other positions, and so FORCING either Deacon or Youngblood to sit because they play the "same position" doesn't work. The best players will be on the field. That's how it's always been.
- Terry Nelson should be at TE instead of Dale.
- Lamar Lundy should be at DE instead of Leonard Little.
- Amendola should be nowhere near this list. LeRoy Irvin and Henry Ellard were good/great return men. Saves roster spot there also. If you must have another returner, Jon Arnett or Az Hakim or Tony Horne would be better selections.
- Eric Dickerson is not the fourth best RB in franchise history. Also, (again) there needs to be a FB or two. Cullen Bryant or Tank Younger or both should be there.
- The Rams are one of the few teams that have an ABUNDANCE of really good O-Linemen, but there is NO need for THREE RGs. Timmerman should probably be dropped in favor of another player at another position. Same goes (again) for the Kicker and Punter.
THIS is a tougher team, due to their history of GREAT players and longevity of the franchise. Also one of my favorites in the "All Time" roster discussions.
