RIP Ken Stabler

Legendary Alabama QB Ken Stabler passes away

69 years old.

 

Anyone heard from Steak Snabler?

 

They retracted it:

Stabler report unconfirmed | TuscaloosaNews.com

Not saying he's not dead, but it's not confirmed. I have talked to several people who would know, but no one has been able to confirm it.

 

Was just coming here to post that link, Steak.

 

Assuming he is dead, I count him as the second deceased SB winning starting qb (I am going from memory). Anyone have the other?

 

So this completely wrong or only a matter of time?
Did he suffer a stroke or something?

 

Rumor has it he has been suffering from prostate cancer for some time.

But you're right. It could be a case where he's on the verge of death but technically still alive, and a source jumped the gun.

Or it could be a Nelson Mandela situation where he lives another 4-5 years.

Unitas never started a Super Bowl?

 

David Woodley is also dead.

 

I remember that being the case out west somewhere a few years back where a pro skater or surfer was reported dead, but he was technically alive so they could harvest his organs. He died a day or two later.

I wish The Snake the best. One of my favorite non-Steeler QBs

 

Morrall never started a SB for the winning team.
