Rich Gannon: Backup Quarterback Turned MVP | NFL Films Presents 

That 2002 Raiders team was the best collection of 35+ year old 12+ year vets beasting on the league.

The Last Great Raiders QB. Thanks for Everything you did for Us Rich.

Rich Gannon was one of my favorite quarterbacks as a kid. He never gets the recognition I feel he deserves.

Rich Gannon and that Raiders offense were potent

I feel like Warrick Dunn, Rich Gannon etc. would have gotten their own A Football Life episodes. I guess new a A Football Life episodes aren't being made anymore?

Rich Gannon was the reason the Raiders won. His commitment to be the best, his willingness to drive everybody, once we lost him we lost our culture.

Thank You Rich All you did for The Silver N Black 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Gannon had one of the best pump fakes in the game, was able to sell the short pass to allow a deep threat WR to get open and in a great position to make the catch. It's been said in the comments previously, Gannon is the last great Raiders QB. Wish we could have won that Super Bowl, not just for Rich, but for the entire Raider Nation!

My roommate was a huge Raiders fan and was beyond happy when they got Rich Gannon. He knew Gannon would do well there

Raiders royalty Rich "the cannon" Gannon. What a legend

YESSSS. My Original favorite quarterback That 3/4 release was SICK

The way Marty Schottenheimer kept running Elvis Grbac out there when Gannon was CLEARLY better than him was absolute madness. It was happening even before Grbac got hurt.

As a Chiefs fan of 35 years, this pains me lol. He is 100% right, we could've won the Super Bowl that year. Happy for him and the Raiders though in retrospect, although don't tell anyone I said that.

Man, I love Rich! The last great Raiders QB. Raiders need a QB with his grit, intelligence and athleticism again.

My guy my favorite raider of all time Rich Gannon he made me a die hard raider growing up 20 mins south of the coliseum as a young kid I loved Gannon and I loved my Oakland Raiders

Rich Gannon was a warrior. The last great Raider QB 🏴‍☠️

Thanks Rich, you provided so many cherished memories.

I know people look at his weapons and Oline, but the way he commanded the team was truly what got us so far for those years.

His stats were nuts with the raiders.

Loved, loved, LOVED him as our QB with the Raiders.

I remember John Madden praising him as a rookie when he was with the Vikings. They really blew it when they let him go

Great job on this, Rich Gannon was/is absolute quality.

Former MVP and Absolute legend

As A Former Raiders Fan Rich Gannon Was A Right Handed Ken Stabler For The Raiders

Now we have another former Delaware QB Joe Flacco in his 17th season at 38 years young, having a career renaissance in Cleveland.

I was his right tackle at Delaware, great job Rich!

classic and relatable story of being overlooked and then finally given a chance and he exceeds any expectations

Rich Gannon was and is one of my favorite players of all time.

Last time the Raiders had a true commitment to excellence

thank you Rich!!!

Always liked Gannon. I would trade for him when I was playing Madden.

Chiefs chose Grbac over Gannon, boy did I hate them for that.

I’m a Broncos fan, Gannon was a treat to watch. Best sidearm mechanics in the game. His 2000 stats are better than the Mvp year he had. The year 2000 he had could stack up against anybody in any era. 28-11 pass 529 rush 4 TD

THE CANNON! (Every mixtape ever)

Last QB we Raider fans had full confidence in. We haven't found his replacement yet.

lets see the full throwback highlight vid

My friends and I used to call Rich “The Matrix” because he would move so smoothly around the pocket avoiding the rush. Made it look easy.

Rich Gannon Fun Fact: Rich won Pro Bowl MVP back to back years and could of won the 3rd but you could tell even he didn’t want another vehicle lol. The man was better than advertised.

A QB that can throw and run. He could do it all, the complete Quarter Back. The Raiders miss you Rich(The Cool)Gannon😎

To this day I still don't understand why the Chiefs went with Grbac over Gannon.

wish there would be a longer feature on gannon. he was a very good qb

Can’t believe that was 20 years ago. I remember that ‘02 raiders team. It sucked Bill Callahan screwed up that Super Bowl week

He was really good. It's a shame he got caught in bad luck playoffs.

Jon Gruden made Rich successful but also ruined him when he left Oakland.

Hated him cause he always beat my Titans but much respect to Rich Gannon that side arm release was different

🐐🐐🐐

Before Peyton Manning was running the offense pre snap, there was Rich Ganon.

They failed to mention Pro Bowl MVP😂... after the super bowl btw 😢...all bs aside miss the Gannon days of the Raiders!

The last true Raiders quarterback, guy was awesome for us. Derek Carr and his CARRdashian fans can go kick rocks.

Man I miss them days

The GOAT.RRRRRAAAAAIDDDERSS!

I had an Rich Gannon action figure with him standing on a patch of grass and I would be able to rotate his throwing arm.

Vikings legend Rich Gannon

Who remembers when Anthony Dorsette blocked a field goal to go to OT and beat The Jets? That’s when I knew The Raiders had turned it around

How did that 2002 team NOT win a SB?

Dude got great set of hair I think him and Pat riley thats awesome

Die hard 49ers fan. Started watching avidly in 2000. Rich Gannon is one of the 🐐’s.

The disrespect to this man, I swear - some coaches are always in their heads, choosing loyalty over obvious results and actual talent. I always liked Rich and his run on the Raiders was epic. They should have won that Super Bowl, their coach sabotaged them and didn't change any of Gruden's original offensive signals. They also should have gone to the Tuck Rule Super Bowl, Tom and the Cheatriots made sure to steal that one too. Gannon could easily have 2 rings and be considered a HOFer if things could have been slightly different.

Gannon used to call Raven games like he bet against them lmfao.

I remember Gannon getting benched n Minnesota for playoffs game vs Redskins for Salisbury

Wasnt the most athletic but he was a dawg

🙌

I forgot when Gannon was set for Salisbury. As a young Vikings fan, I thought that move was so stupid

I wanna watch a full St. Joe's Prep game with Rich Gannon as the starting quarterback now.

haven’t seen a raider qb in my lifetime have complete command

Raiders 2000- 02 got robbed shoulda had at least 1 SB win

I remember Gannon had a great year that year he took Raiders to the SB. Then the coach changed game plan last minute and it was too much for one of their star linemen and lineman went awol before the big game and Raiders got soundly defeated.

Gannon got screwed by the Chiefs. I am glad he got his shot with the Raiders. Even though I hate the Raiders I always pulled for him.

Richard gere as an nfl qb

Rich is not a bad looking guy lol

Only 3 Raiders won MVP in Oak/L.A. Snake 74, Allen 85, Gannon 02 jus so ya know

When Rich Gannon was with us in Kansas City and I blamed Marty for not starting him and He was winning games Against good teams and beat Denver that year and Of course they site down for no reason and could of won super bowl for us that year

He’s still handsome!

Ya know they should’ve won a SB, but their coaching cost them. Made me happy, because my Bucs finally got the to promise land, and won!

Den da same thing w Grbac

My only memory is a backup for the Vikings.

This is the saddest video I've watched on RU-vid. Why do some people not just get the recognition they deserve?

Rich Gannon Was Backup Quarterback For Minnesota Vikings From 1987 To 1993 Thanks For Uploading

Forget Dennis Green!

Wild.. if you're the number 1 team why would you swap QBs?

turned pancake by Siragusa

Rich Gannon, a great backup and no coaches see nothing in him. Gotta be joking.. that is why you see these coaches are not in the hall of fame

Is he Matt Ryan?

Wish the chiefs kept him.

Rich Gannon Made Me A Raider. I Still Got Your Reebok Jersey

Hall of Fame

poor rich. could have been in the hall..

Early 2000s raiders are quite the story

You know why rich Gannon was released by raiders because he was hit helmet to helmet and messed up his life career

Such a shame the Chiefs wasted his talent.

I respected how he became one of the best quarterbacks in the league later in his career but I’ve heard he was not an easy guy to work with.

Soon to be purdy

First comment

yet another QB the Redskins let get away

RICH …boomer!

Marty schothiemer was awful he is the definition of the word choke.

Snake, Plunkett, Gannon, Carr......everyone else is inconsequential.

Grback aged horribly 😂

he is a hofer imo

Females are to be seen not heard especially about sports 💯
