The passing statistics of Bob Waterfield may look poor by today's standards, but when he debuted for the Cleveland Rams after a great career at UCLA, he would take the Cleveland Rams to an NFL Championship as a rookie in 1945. Waterfield was not just the teams Quarterback as he was also their Kicker and Punter, and defensively, he had 20 Interceptions as a Back. He would win the MVP Award that season, a rarity for any rookie in any sport.
In terms of tenure, there are none in higher standing than Jackie Slater, who played 259 Games in the NFL (plus 18 more in the playoffs) for the Rams in a 20-year career that spanned from 1976 to 1995. Earning the starting Right Tackle job to commence the 1979 season, Slater would be a fixture there starting 211 of the next 211 games he played. Throughout the 1980s, Slater established himself in the upper echelon at his position going to the Pro Bowl seven Times and receiving three Second Team All-Pro Selections. There will never be a more durable player in franchise history than Slater.
When we are speaking about the St. Louis Rams and the “Greatest Show on Turf” an engine needs to be referenced. That engine was Marshall Faulk, the Hall of Fame Running Back for the Rams.
Every great team needs a steady presence and for “The Greatest Show on Turf” that was Left Tackle, Orlando Pace.
