5 most overrated players in Rams history ft. Dante Fowler Jr.

The Los Angeles Rams are one of the most storied teams in the league, ranging from their multiple times in the West Coast city to their stint in St. Louis. The "Greatest Show on Turf" was born there, and they had many legendary players throughout their history.

Established in 1936 as the Cleveland Rams, it's seen almost 100 years of history, grit, blood and sweat. Not all players deserve the recognition they get, though, if judging solely on their on-field performances.

Here's a closer look at five of the most overrated players in Los Angeles Rams' history.

5 most overrated players in Los Angeles Rams' history

#1. Danny Amendola

When Amendola left the team for the New England Patriots in 2012, talks emerged about how the team could've left such a talent to move to another place. But the wide receiver had no more than 700 yards in any of his four seasons with the Rams – and remained just an ok player when he went to another franchise.

#2. Dante Fowler Jr.

While Fowler had a great 2019 season with the Rams, that's arguably never happening if Aaron Donald isn't playing on the interior. There are a lot of examples of players who shone in Los Angeles playing next to Donald, but none bigger than Fowler, who never surpassed eight sacks in any other season.

#3. Pat Haden

35 wins and 19 losses during his career as the Rams quarterback looks nice, but Haden never threw more than 13 touchdowns in a single season – even worse, in the same year (1978), he threw 19 interceptions. The team had some good years, but not solely because of him.

#4. Jim Everett

His inconsistency was never a plus for the team, but it's impossible to deny that he had a great start to his career. However, his level faded away as soon as teams didn't have to account for Eric Dickerson anymore. He threw more interceptions than touchdowns three times in eight years, and another season was 50/50. Everett had his qualities, just not as many while with the Rams.

#5. Vince Ferragamo

There was one season where Ferragamo was impressive and threw 30 touchdowns, almost leading the league. But in 1980, when he made it, he also threw 19 interceptions and was careless with the ball – in fact, he had more picks than touchdowns in his Los Angeles career.
