I think their names are done with that franchise. Realistically they had zero ties to that franchise & never should've been in it in the 1st place, but at least they were honored for a short time.
Unfortunately Lomax's complete body of work doesn't qualify him. He only had 2 or 3 really good years otherwise he was streaky and inconsistent and I'm a Lomax fan. Take away 1983-84,87 and he was an average QB. I remember he was so bad one game in 1986 that he got benched in favor for Stoudt. Not to mention that he never won a division title, never really led his team to the playoffs and the only playoff game he had(strike shortened 1982 season), the Cards got blown out. Believe me, I love the guy but he needed a few more good years but unfortunately his hip issues cut his career short. As for the rest of the guys you mention, Metcalf-no, Smith-yes, Bakken-no. Mel Grey, Roy Green, Otis Anderson belong there though.
Well, IMO, for a while it seemed as though Billy Bids was sore at St. Louis for not giving him his stadium so when he moved to The Valley he wanted to forget that part of the franchise ever existed. Look at the current ROH. There are exactly 4 St. Louis Cardinals-Deirdorf, Larry Wilson, Roy Green and Wherli. After this year it will be bumped up to 5 with Hart. Still like to see Otis Anderson, Mel Grey, and the entire 1975 offensive line get in. Hell, if you held opposing defenses to sacking Hart only 8 times you did something.
Did you know that the Lomax led Portland St. Vikings once scores 105 points against Rodney Gunter's alma mater Delaware St.? Lomax threw 7 TD passes in the first quarter.
I remember watching Bob Young on those strongman competitions on Wide World of Sports. Incidentally, I really miss that show.They used to call Jim Hart the 'cigarette QB' because he had enough time in the pocket to smoke a cigarette due to the OL and their pass protection
