Warner today leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. The Rams are no longer his team, as he considers himself a Cardinal, which irritates the CR@P out of me. He hasn't integrated with other famous Rams in recent events, and only shows up at Ram's practices as part of his job at the NFLN. He shows up at Cardinal practices and grounds, because he wants to.

We "left" Deacon Jones as he was replaced by Jack Youngblood and went to the San Diego Chargers to finish his career there. Yet Deacon was at every Rams event that he could go to while alive.

did "we" smear deacon's character for a year while he was still with the rams? did "we" tell the whole league jones was a cripple and would never play well again, ruining further employment opportunities for him and severely reducing his earning potential? no, i don't think so.

You memories about Deacon are astounding!
As for Kurt, I have my point of view that whatever happened between him and the Rams, he should bury the hatchet with the team that gave him his only Super Bowl ring. And yes, I think so.

I was glad that he found out that only a stinking throwing glove would resurrect his career, which is all on the Rams trainers and Martz, inmo. I am not bitter that he had success in Arizona. I am somewhat bitter that after his career was over that he ignored the team that gave him his only real chance to have a career in the NFL. I hope he comes around, because I love the guy. Until he does, I don't have to like his spurning of the Rams for the freakin Cardinals.

This picture says it all for my opinion on who was the best QB for the Rams. When another Rams QB hoists that trophy, then I'll be happy to discuss who should stand at the top of the Rams QB heap. Until that happens, Kurt Warner occupies the top spot. Happy Birthday Kurt! Thank you for the great memories!

The Rams wouldn't have given him the chance, they pretty much had to because of Green's injury. Every one of us thought we were screwed when that dirty SOB Harrison cheapshotted Green. Kurt who? Where the heck did we get this guy? Arena football? Oh yeah, we're screwed! Nobody saw Kurt Warner coming. Nobody. The rest, as they say, is history...

He was named Practice Squad Player of the Year in 1998. Coach Vermeil asserted that the Rams would go forward with Kurt Warner, and "play good football." Warner was the back up in 1999, and sounds like Vermeil knew and he's the one that mattered. Did Vermeil know that Warner would do as well as he did? No...Just as Bill Bellicheat, or any other HC doesn't know if an unheralded QB will do anything once starting..they HOPE so.. But Kurt Warner was only in a position to succeed, thanks to the Rams and Dick Vermeil.
Even Kurt himself said to everyone in the Rams organization in 1999? "Thanks for the opportunity."
