Same here.

If someone becomes a die-hard-fan at a young age, you inherit some players already well into their careers ... for me, that was Roman Gabriel, Deacon Jones, Merlin Olsen and Coy Bacon.

McCutcheon was my 1st favorite New Ram ... just ahead of Jack Youngblood, Isiah Robertson & Larry Brooks

Big part of it for me, as a young boy, was simply how Cool McCutcheon looked running-with-the-football.

Yeah, he did look cool running the ball. And I remember having a #30 jersey when I was a kid because of him ... wasn't necessarily a Rams jersey, but it had similar colors and I chose it because of the number.

This is the last thing I needed to see this week. Was just thinking about him last week, he just popped into my head. Great running back. I think his son played in the league too, if I'm not mistaken.

Very sad news. RIP.

Shocked and devastated. He was my favorite running back in the mid-70's. I'd always want him to get 1000 rushing yards in a season or 100 in a game. I'd check the sports page boxscore the next day. Sometimes he'd have 76, or 83, and I'd also check his yards per carry and where he was at on the NFL rushing list. Usually top 5. Him, Foreman, OJ, Payton. RIP Clutch.

Only a few years older than me. I remember him well. A quality running back. Taken too soon. RIP Mr. McCutcheon.

Primary back when I first became a Rams fan and one of my favorites! Could always count on him play after play after play.

Yeah - was one of my Ram hero’s.He was the backbone on offense back in the day. Sad how Marshall ends up with Pakistan’s & Clutch passes away from it.There’s some CTE there & in the end my hopes would be the families help with that NFL research on it to test the brain.
Tough call,but imo would be the right thing to do.Just where my mind goes in longevity if live.Today
I’d say things are crazier than ever & my Ramble on it would be much longer. Either way sad & like Oldschool R.I.P clutch you’ll always be a forever Ram .
