I met Bob Kuechenberg at an art exibit in the late 80s. I was a huge fan of his football days and thought he should be in the HOF.He’s probably one of Bob Kuechenberg’s relatives. The guy always takes pot shots at Marino and that era. It’s beyond lame. But he has ”pantyhose” opinions on most things, so it’s not surprising.
Not being able to acknowledge Marino’s greatness, even if far preferring the 60’s and 70’s era style of football, along with not having an “impression” of Mandach as an announcer, just goes to show how out of touch with reality and tone deaf he is.
IMO fans like him are just insecure and upset that the Marino era gets more coverage and attention. I sure know that Bob Kuechenberg was that way. All Kuechenberg ever did was to be fortunate enough to play on a more well-rounded team. And that team didn’t ever have to play a team as good as the ‘84 49ers.
If prime Marino had been the QB on those 70’s teams, they’d have won more than 2 SB’s considering the defense they had. They’d have won in ‘83 too, because that offense was trash. Conversely prime Kuechenberg, or any one member of those 70’s teams, would have won the same amount of titles in the 80’s and 90’s as Marino and Company. Zero.
He came across as an opinionated jerk as I listened to him speak.
I dont think less of him, but it surprised me. Not what I was expecting.
