Are there any Rams who never disappointed you?

[AvengerRam]

We as fans can change our opinions of players very quickly and for a variety of reasons. Often, it’s because the player has disappointed us in some way: on the field, off the field, too much ego, disloyalty or selfishness. When you put guys on a pedestal, they often fall.

So… are there players who never disappointed you?

Off the top of my head, a few jump to mind…

Jack Youngblood
Jackie Slater
Isaac Bruce
Torry Holt
Steven Jackson
Aaron Donald
Andrew Whitworth
Cooper Kupp
Matthew Stafford

Who makes your list?

Jackson's first carry was a fumble. I was disappointed, for 10 seconds.
Then I warmed up to him !

 

[Londoner]

There are many, many Rams who didn’t disappoint me… because I didn’t have any expectations for them in the first place.

Let’s give some love to our special teams. Johnny Hekker was a stud punter. Gay was a stud kicker even if only for 2 years.

[Loyal]

4. Jack Youngblood
5. Jackie Slater
6. Flipper Anderson
7. Irv Pankey
8. Henry Ellard
9. Orlando Pace
10. Isaac Bruce
11. Torry Holt
12. London Fletcher
12. D"marco Farr
13. Vince Ferragamo
14. Steven Jackson
15. Adam Timmerman

17. Cooper Kupp
18. Robert Woods
19. Aeneas Williams
20 Johnny Hekker

22. Aaron Freakin Donald
23. Matthew Stafford

I know there are more players who have slipped my mind. My list isn't a list of players who I necessarily thought were the best, but were those who did their jobs to the best of their abilities. In juries degraded performance at time and so I didn't use that against them. Also, they seemed to be good humans off the field as well.

Loyal, ya forgettin Kurt?

[Loyal]

Loyal, ya forgettin Kurt?
train

No, train. Even though I understand why Kurt had hard feelings towards Georgia's Rams organization, I felt like he deserted the loyal Rams fan base after he retired. I was rooting for him even when he played for the Cardinals and wanted him to win that Super Bowl with the Steelers.
But then he retired...
It was reported that he showed up at Cardinal facilities when not working for NFLN, which he has never done for the Rams in LA. There was even a get together, if you remember where St Louis Rams and old LA Rams showed up. The Rams were extending a hand towards its past and Kurt refused. That disappointed me.
