Football Player

The Resume

    (August 5, 1940- )
    Born in Wilmington, North Carolina
    NFL quarterback
    Played for the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles
    Known for his powerful passing arm, low number of interceptions, and frequent fumbles
    Two time All-American and two time ACC Player of the Year in college at North Carolina State
    Selected to the Pro Bowl twice, two time All-Pro, Pro Bowl MVP in 1968, NFL Player of the Year in 1969, and NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 1973
    Threw 201 TDs, 149 interceptions, 29,444 career yards passing and had a lifetime QB rating of a little over 74 percent

Why he might be annoying:

    He spent the first three and the last two years of his career on the bench.
    He had 105 career fumbles, including four years where he had nine or more fumbles.
    He was 0-10 as a semi-pro head coach.
    He's been married three times, divorced twice.
    He had a laughable acting career with highlights including playing a Native American (he was Filipino Irish) and a portraying a head hunter on Gilligan's Island.
    He never played in a Super Bowl.

Why he might not be annoying:

    At six foot four and 235 lbs, he was a huge quarterback for his time and wouldn't be a little one today.
    He had a powerful arm, and in college, once threw a pass that traveled 78 yards (intercepted), and still holds many Rams passing records.
    He has raised over 4 million dollars for various charities since his retirement.
    In his first year as the Ram's starting QB, he led them to an 8-6 record, their first winning season in ten years.
    Despite not being particularly mobile, he was difficult to sack (due in part to his size) and had an interception ratio of only 3.3 percent.
