Chtyan Ken Anderson, like Jim Hart, came into the NFL as a lightly regarded small college (Augustana) quarterback and became great pro's.

Thank you!

and brian sipe!

@Anthony Wright Good point!

Hart was HORRIBLE...the white Jameis Winston!

He was the athletic director at Southern Illinois University for several years, and also very active in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Pro2AGuy You sir just hit the nail on the head with your words as hard as a Larry Csonka rampage thru a scared secondary! I miss those days as well, the nostalgia of these clips and comments is quite powerful, serving as kind of a time machine. R.I.P Frank Gifford

***** Ditto... And yes indeed, R.I.P Mr. Gifford. God Bless.

+Pro2AGuy Hell yeah man I loved this team I love the 70s because it wasn't all about making the playoffs as obviously every team wants to eventually win a Super Bowl. Back then you could like your fav team or a certain team (The Cards and The Oilers with Earl, Billy White Shoes, Pastorini and Burroughs)whether they were in first or fifth place. I remember the 77 pro-bowl when Mel Gray was matched up against Mel Blount. Jim Hart threw nothing but bullets man he def is HOF worthy. As is OJ Anderson who made his star there boy I tell you football was great in those days...

+mookeychase0907 Beautifully put--Like you, I remember those days, Teams, Players, Announcers etc. like it were just yesterday (where does the time go?). The Monday Night Football Theme absent all the stupid 'Hollywood' production it's become today. The Super Bowl was the real deal of man vs. man straight up absent this ridiculous "HYPE" that today is so overblown I don't even tune into Super Bowl Sunday until the actual kick-off. How I wish I could snap my fingers and go back to that special time when Football was Football and men could play like men!

If Aikman is in the Hall Of Fame, then Jim Hart DEFINITELY needs to be.

@@judahsoremy9857 every time I watched him he Mel Gray n Roy Green was always burnin the boys deep

Your description fits Dan Fouts as well

When football was about football

Terry Metcalf was in there somewhere. Exciting, could break a long tub at any time, but could fumble at any time also.

great offensive line

Harrell Kerkhoff Sucked in '76 when they missed the playoffs due to the tie-breaker(Redskins swept the Cards) to Washington.

St Louis sucks balls .

He only played for one team. He only had seven Pass Attempts while in Washington.

Hart, Lomax, Warner. A few in between, but they were the best!

sportshistorybuff Man u just named some incredible Qb's from back in tha day! Such an interesting question cuz these are the guys that r overlooked when talking bout the 70's but were amazing talents. kenny A was my boy, when fall wld come around and throwing the football in the backyard i wld choose to be KA cuz he was soo accurate an my friend wld be Stabler just cuz he was lefthanded (and The Snake was just the coolest..) Hart was awesome for 3 yrs an helped change the game. Grogan was actually on my bedroom door for years on a supercool poster, i musta liked the patriots unis! Ferguson was just too much overshadowed on a team Dominated by he-who-will-not-be-mentioned. Manning i just felt sorry for... until he spawned a family dynasty beyond imagination! But as much as i loved those guys and those memories (put on some NFL Films soundtrack music and i still want to run thru a brick wall) none of em should really be in, they were great but not All Time Greats. There really should be some other way or institution to honor these 2nd tier talents and to recognize their contributions and memories.

sportshistorybuff No on the first three, yes to the last two, especially Kenny

Hart and Anderson rightfully fo belong in the hall,Grogan I don't believe cuts it,yeah he played a long time,got the pats to the playoffs but his stats are very below average. Archie.. for sure belongs....to clean up the John's.

What's been wrong with the Cowboys since the cards beat them in the WC 25 years ago?

I disagree. He threw a ton of INT's. I think 2 qb's of that era that have a better claim would be John Brodie or Roman Gabriel.

He did throw a lot of INTs, Andrew. But if you'll look at the stats of some Hall of Famers - Joe Namath comes to mind immediately - they threw more INTs than TDs. The game changed in the late 70s when the league modified he rules on pass blocking and secondary play. Still, though I loved Hart, I don't think he'd quite make my HOF cut.

@@andrewr62 isn’t Gabriel in the hall of fame

@@kowalski6590 Joe Namath doesn’t belong either

@@andrewsucksatvideos4482 If you base it on stats, no, Namath doesn't belong.

Kurt got the cards to the SB and two NFC title games...Did Jim 🤷🤦

@@cjdickey1650 I am not questioning that warner was better. However Kurt had a much better team than did hart.

@@finnfinn7703 On the defensive side of the ball

@@howardcosell2022 offense and defense equals a team. Better defense you get more possessions, offensively Warners weapons were equal to harts. Cards had a better line, except the one key component of the line Roger Finney was getting the heart killed. Orlando pace was better than anybody The Cardinals had, including Dierdorf. Actually, the Rams had a better Offense because Woerner was much better than heart. It wasn’t even close.

Dec. 10, 1972, against the Los Angeles Rams, Hart completed a 98-yard pass to Bobby Moore (later named Ahmad Rashad). It is still the longest non-scoring play in the NFL. The ball was spotted at the Rams 1 yard line.

​@@SRSOSChannel2 doesn't mean he threw it that far

@@chrischar9428 that wasn't yac. it was a 98 yard throw.

@@SRSOSChannel2 yes it was. Hart didn't throw 98 yards

@@SRSOSChannel2 where you go

Dierdorf was a tackle not a guard. Dobler and Young were the guards on those teams.

Thank you for the correction.

cbikin I don't care who the other four guys on the offense of line were if you had Orlando pace at left tackle you were not one of the worst offense of lines in the league. If Bill bidwell and George Boone knew anything about football. Jim Hart would have been throwing to John Gilliam ahmad rashad and Mel gray I would've taken them over anything Kurt Warner had. Bruce and holt very good football players but their stats were inflated by the times

Good call

I agree....Our oline and dline were atrocious.

Yeah Pace and Timmerman were terrible

@@chrischar9428 Timmerman was a good player. You do not put him in the same sentence as Orlando pace. They were almost completely different species.

@@finnfinn7703 clearly you missed sarcasm class

@@chrischar9428 clearly you did. You’re saying they’re terrible, but they’re not that was sarcasm. Plain stupidity is the fact that time ran and pace We’re on the same level compared to pace. Timmerman was terrible so really, it’s not sarcastic at all that’s just being completely erroneous.

@@finnfinn7703 that's sarcasm...JFC

Clogg put the Babyface in the Hall

Don Coryell's offense

@@howardcosell2022 Exactly, the Chargers ran the ball effectively when he was there too.

@@philbruin The passing game opened up in 1978 with the Mel Blount rule. Before that everyone ran the ball even Coryell though he threw more than most.

ChampCarforlife Football is a team game, his Cardinal teams had no defense(Coryell never emphasized defense).

@@jeffreyt.steptoe5306 Really? He tried to emphasize defense. The ownership and management wouldn’t let him emphasize it.

They never had great defense to dominate but CB Roger Wherli was good. They did not draft a monster untill LB EJ Junior...early 1980's. I used to like WR Pat Tilley...underdog who fearlessly moved the chains.

Don't know much timmy

Did somebody type this for you? Because you obviously don’t have the intelligence to do it yourself.
