Los Angeles Rams Rank 4th Greatest QB Franchise in NFL History

NFL.com recently ranked all 32 NFL teams by the QBs they’ve played throughout the franchise’s history. The Los Angeles Rams were placed in fourth place in no small part due to having three Hall of Fame quarterbacks playing the bulk of their careers with the team; Bob Waterfield, Norm Van Brocklin, and Kurt Warner.

The Rams fell behind only the Green Bay Packers, Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts, and San Francisco 49ers.

The video broke down the accomplishments of the Los Angeles Rams’ best signal callers. Here is what they have to say;

Bob Waterfield (1945-1952)

As a rookie in 1945, Bob Waterfield tied for the league high in touchdown passes and guided the Rams to their first NFL title. In fact, he led the team to four NFL championship games. Even while splitting time with Van Brocklin. Waterfield was also the Rams primary kicker and punter his entire career. He racked up 20 career interceptions on defense, including six in that superb rookie campaign.
