Ken Stabler

The death of Ken Stabler was announced yesterday. He had a great career with the John Madden coached teams of the Oakland Raiders in the 1970's. That seems so long ago.

So many fans have no recollection of him. That's how it goes. Time is a factor.

He should be in the Hall of Fame, but voters rely on statistics too much. He might get in now that he's dead, but it would have been nicer to see get there when he was alive.
