My favorite game of Fiedler's was when he faked out Trace Armstrong (who had become a Raider) and ran it in to the end zone to win the game.
Agreed, his arm was his only shortcoming. Then at one point (I think it was a snowy game in Denver) he again orchestrated a winning drive but hurt the thumb on his throwing arm. After that his throwing was even worse. Played with heart though, I liked the guy (unlike 99.99999999% of the people posting on this board at the time)
