Ken Stabler
Ken “Snake” Stabler is arguably the best Raiders quarterback of all-time, leading the team to a Super Bowl title, and being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Stabler’s path to becoming a Hall of Fame quarterback was not a normal one, and would no doubt make an interesting documentary.
After being drafted by the Raiders, Stabler would be sent to play for the Spokane Shockers of the Continental Football League for a couple of games before leaving the Raiders and football all together. Stabler was another player who was not only drafted in the NFL, but into the MLB in three different years, as well.
Stabler would return to the Raiders in 1970, and the Raiders dynasty began. Even know, the love the Raider Nation has for Stabler is as strong as ever, and every quarterback who came after him as been graded against him.
Stabler went through ups and downs in his career, such as being a part of the Immaculate Reception game and suffering from severe knee injuries that would drastically change his style of play. Luckily for Stabler, everything would end up working out, going on to have a Hall of Fame career and winning a Super Bowl in 1977.
