His was one of the first football cards I ever owned. And Bob Lily.
He had a cool name and threw pretty good too...
Too bad he went to NC State...
:]
RIP
Blue Boy
and one time savage on Gilligan’s Island. lol
I really enjoy the episodes with the Rams.
Bump
Roman Gabriel! Standing tall & throwing to Jack Snow (another cool name).
My high school had an Indian QB named Sonny Sixkiller who signed with the Rams.
R.I.P. Mr. Gabriel
He was a very solid NFL QB. Tough to bring down in the pocket as he was big and strong (6’4” 220 lbs.) watched him a lot as a kid. RIP
I recall that he was the first first “big” quarterback, since the others of that era were rather small in stature. (Tittle, Unitas)
I remember him! My condolences to his family.
As a young kid I went to an LA Rams pre-season game vs the Buffalo Bills whom had a Rookie named OJ Simpson. My Dad bought me a program and we stood outside the Locker-room after the game. I still have that program signed by Roman Gabriel, Jack Snow, Merlin Olsen, Deacon Jones and Coach George Allen amongst others.
He had one hell of a arm and was a very good baseball player. He was in the wrong era.
He threw HARD - a disadvantage in snowy post-season games
Sad news. I remember him from his days with the Rams. RIP Roman Gabriel.
Whitey Herzog, Dicky Betts, and Roman Gabriel this week. Hopefully that’s it.
I remember back in the day it was rumored he was gay? Anyone remember that? And does anyone know for sure one way or the other?
He is the first Eagles QB that I remember, back when I was growing up in Joisey. RIP.
One of the strongest arms ever. Could throw perfect spiral length of field.
Loved Roman in my favorite Western, The Undefeated. May God bless your soul.
Damn.
I liked watching that old Rams team.
I heard him months ago on a 30 minute radio info commercial with other football players about a pain killing program.
Our family LOVED Roman Gabriel.
RIP Roman, you were one of the good ones.
Tearful Sunday expected.
God Bless him and hold him close.
