Bobby Joseph Hebert Jr. (surname pronounced AY-bair /ˈeɪbɛər/; born August 19, 1960) is an American sportscaster and former professional football quarterback.
Nicknamed "the Cajun Cannon", Hebert led the Panthers to the USFL championship in the league's inaugural season.
The team struggled a bit with injuries in 1984 and a weakened squad was knocked out of the playoffs by Steve Young's Los Angeles Express 27–21 in triple OT.
In 1985, the Panthers were merged with the Oakland Invaders and Hebert again led his team to the finals against the Stars.
“We won the USFL Championship after Detroit not having a champion since the Bobby Layne days in the 1950s.” Hebert, with a confident tone in his voice, says, “I think we would have been in the top 14 of the NFL if we [Panthers] played them.
