I say that Kurt warner is as good as any qb who has ever played the game but injuries and the fact that warner started his career when he was 27 and what he did was amazing no qb not even brady would be able to revive two franchises like that and he made two francises actual contenders
Juan Ayala making it to 3 Super Bowls with 2 different teams and winning one isn't too shabby. Tell me what guys playing now besides Brady has been to 3? Warner was a true bad ass, I wish he played two more years and stayed healthy.
You mean Leinart wouldn't have led them to the Super Bowl! LOL You are so right, Kurt exemplifies everything a Hall of Famer is, on and off the field. Despite a shorter than average career, I still put him in the top 10 of all time and at his peak, a top 5. That first season with the Rams was the most unbelievable season I've ever seen. It was like the arm of God Himself was throwing the ball for the Rams that year. Most accurate QB I've ever seen. I'm a Patriots fan but a large part of me wanted Kurt and the Rams to win that Super Bowl. And they should've.
Imagine what NYG would have done with Kurt vs Eli in 07? I agree he could have had 2 SBs with STL if they didn't bail on him or Vermeil retires early, 1-2 with NYG if they gave him a shot.
To this day that Super Bowl loss still haunts me. But even though we lost, we gained respect. Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald turned the franchise around. Growing up sometimes being embarrassed to be a Cardinals fan, I couldnt think of a better prize for getting 2nd place, feeling pride. From that season on that pride only grows stronger. No matter if the Cardinals ever win a championship, Kurt, you made me feel like a champion.
The Cardinals went 9-7 that year and put up one hell of a fight against the Steelers in the Super Bowl. In fact, if I remember carefully, the Cardinals led the Steelers 23-20 with less than a minute left in the game.
As a Panthers fan, I totally understand where you're coming from. Delhomme was kind of the same way. We shared the same fate as you guys in 2004. Kurt was an incredible person and I wished nothing more than for that outcome of that super bowl to change. Unfortunately, that's life.
Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald and a few others were getting tired of carrying the team; against all odds, wow! Kurt was a Christian competitor who WOULD not ever give up; ever. One of the best of all time and a godly family man at the same time.
They deserved it. Fitzgerald all but won the game for them. I still don't think Holmes got that foot down. He might have touched blades of grass but he didn't touch the GROUND.
Dawg I had moved to Phoenix the year after this loss.. and they LOVED this guy. Made me love him too even being a diehard Cowboys fan. Kurt was the truth
Kurt was my classmate and friend at UNI. He was always the most intelligent, most friendly and most sincere guy around. We chatted for hours sometimes, each talking about his dreams. His materialized; mine didn't. But I am very proud of having known him, and I just wish we could reconnect. I wonder if he still remembers me.
That run with the cardinals is what put Kurt in the hall of fame. Warner is such a class act the perfect example of a great teammate and one of the most accurate and toughest qbs ever. Also one of the absolute greatest playoff qbs ever. Warner always took it up a notch in postseason.
@@ckobo84 Exactly. There was the line Joe Buck had in the NFC championship against the Eagles, "Has there ever been a drive that put a guy into the Hall of Fame?" That's exactly why. Getting the Cardinals to the Super Bowl was massive for his body of work being strong enough, and Buck knew it.
Warner is among the greatest quarterbacks of all time, but more importantly, he is among an even more elite class of men characterized by exceptional kindness and integrity.
I still curse the Rams franchise for dumping him because of his thumb injury. I have never rooted for them ever since. I hope that franchise continues to lose in the most miserable of ways. What they did to Warner was atrocious. They thought a two-time MVP was a fluke and they thought Marc Bulger would lead them to the promised land. What a disgraceful franchise.
@@cacornhusker2940 NY was winning with Warner, he barely got any time though. Then they switched to Eli Manning and the team collapsed. They didn't give Warner the time of day. If they actually tailored an offense for him, they would have been better. Warner had nothing in NY and the team was still winning. They shafted him 100%. He proved it when he went to Arizona. The guy was still elite, he was just coming back from the injuries and NY treated him like a scrub.
I, a die hard Rams fan, die hard Kurt Warner fan, never ever gave up on Kurt, and have YET to forgive the Rams for giving up on him!!! No matter what Mike Martz ever says when he talks about Kurt, he never truly wanted him, and looked for the first reason to ditch him... never respected Martz for that.
Kurt Warner’s story has got to be the most inspirational story in sports about how he went from the bottom of the mountain to the top, falling back down to the bottom and climbing back up again.
Jovany Ruiz I remember being a cardinals fan when I was a kid in the 90s.....we weren't doing so great.... all the kids at school would give so much crap... letting you know the cards lost to whoever.....you know all riding the cowboys/49ers bandwagon....its nice to see we have the team we always wanted:)
I first saw Kurt Warner on the Oprah Winfrey show after his run with the St. Louis Rams and the Greatest Show on Turf. Listening to him, his story, and the adversity he faced through every stage of his life and career made me a fan. What made me a disciple was his run with the Cardinals. Kurt Warner is a tremendous Quarterback and an even more tremendous human being. If you need a role model for your sons, you can’t find a better one anywhere.
He was never done, it's just he had a bad hand injury and everyone used it to say, "This two-time MVP must be a fluke." A guy doesn't win two NFL MVPs as a fluke. What happened to him in the league is despicable. He went on to prove everyone wrong, once again.
I was just talking about this playoff run & SB today & how insanely good Fitz was that year. My phone is def listening to me. Fitz’s playoff stats that year are more than most WRs in an entire season. He was so much fun to watch!
I despised Kurt Warner for beating my Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV, but sometimes you gotta separate the logo they’re fighting under from the player. Much respect to this dude for his toughness, leadership, and play-making abilities.
at least the titans had the privilege to lose to a team that was just as much in the dark previously, the cardinals lost to a team that already had five rings by that point, and the fan base made sure to let it be known, I wouldn't say the steelers have the most toxic fan base (new Orleans, San Francisco, and dallas are probably top three), but they are very spoiled
What an unreal story. His Rams story was incredible enough then after it all, he has one last act and completely resurrects Arizona and makes them a real contender.
Kurt Warner took the Cardinals to the Super Bowl there's not a another quarterback who can say that. Also he's a HoF now so he deserves all the accolades he gets
Warner had a key trait, which was grit. With lineman at his feet and knowing he was about to be slammed by a 300 pound lineman, he would still be focusing on getting the ball to the a target. Even when he missed and got pummeled over and over, he still would stare the onslaught in the face. The cardinals didn’t have strong offensive line, which as a QB, can bring some nerves to light, as your prob gonna have many breaking through and slamming you down. But he still found the target. He took the Cardinals from nothing to the final arena. That’s the only stat that really matters at the end of the day for the TEAM.
Winners don’t always win, but they never give up. Kurt never gave up no matter how many times people had written him off. His character, perseverance, and integrity makes him a true hero.
My all time favorite player 💞 first super bowl I saw at age 9 vs the titans when this game vs the Steelers happened I had stopped following football for a while since I moved back from the U.S to my home country Nicaragua I could not believe my eyes my favorite player was doing the things he and the Cardinals did on that playoff run to the super bowl. They were Worthy of any championship. Kurt Warner an all time great. Greetings from Managua Nicaragua.
The reason why Kurt Warner is in the hall of fame, is because of this season. To take that team to the super bowl, and almost beat Pittsburgh was unbelievable
jungleme77 Exactly why Kurt is a Hall of Famer. The NFLs Cinderella story nearly pulling it off and showing everyone who counted him out that he still had it. My favorite all time QB without a doubt.
Kurt Warner richly deserves the HOF induction he got last year. He took the freaking Cardinals to the super bowl. Not only that, They came very close to winning it. IF not for some ridiculous catch by Santonio Holmes, they win the thing. What were the Rams before Kurt Warner??? Nobody... What have they been since he left -- Nobody How many playoff wins did the Cardinals have in the 60 years preceding Warner?? one or two right? How many wins did he give them in just 2 years? -- 4 of them -- WITH NO DEFENSE What have the Cardinals been since he left???? HOF Richly deserved man -- good job.
The Rams had won couple of titles before football got big and made it in the 1979 season where they lost to the Steelers. The Warner era was their best but they had some relevance before, just that it was far between.
Jennifeer Lopez even though I'm a Steelers fan I didn't care who won. I loved Kurt warner and Larry Fitzgerald. They would've won if Santonio Holmes wasn't so good XD.
Mn guy here.. Kurt beat us in the playoffs and I remember watchin replays in slo mo of throws he made to receivers and they were absolutely in-defendable. Perfect throws which just killed us. I wish we had won but was glad to see Kurt win. He is a great guy and what a story..
Kurt Warner is one of the greatest QBs of all time. If you think about the talent surrounding him compared to some of the other guys considered to be the best, he had remarkable results with what he had to work with. Being from AZ I’m bias without a doubt, but in my mind he IS the greatest of all time! And he’s an even better human being.
I got choked up when they read the letter from his son Zach.....I'm a Titans fan but ive never been more invested in a team other than my own than i was that year with the Cardinals....i wanted Kurt to win that superbowl so badly.....i mean he went from baggin grocery to goin beastmode at QB at the highest level.....he may not be the best player ever or the most talented but he definitely had the biggest heart or was all heart when he played....what an underdog story.....he is the best QB ive ever seen at anticipation type throws and timing type offense.....thats what made "Greatest Show On Turf" so deadly and almost unbeatable because Kurt was a master at throwin the ball before Isaac Bruce or Holt would break on their route....he threw it where they were gonna be.
I had the privilege of meeting Kurt while I was working at Opryland Hotel as a Banquet server in 2007. out of all the tables that we had to wait on during the Aarons Event, I was blessed to get Kurt's table. I was able to chat with Him for a bit before the event started. what an honor it was. He was so friendly to me.
Theres just something about Arizona that makes it so special. Maybe the beautiful sunsets or the cool weather on a winter night or seeing all the lights come on when the city becomes alive. I called it that year when the Cardinals went to the Superbowl im calling it again this year I love Dallas but I think the Cardinals will make it to the NFC championship this year.
Kurt is a class act man. All around great guy, so unfortunate he never got a ring. For anyone who likes to read I would definitely recommend his books. Fantastic
@@scottt6710 I hear yeah, I'm from St.Louis and he helped ease the pain of losing my Cardinals when he took the Rams to two superbowls,I met all the greats back in the 70's as a young kid. But I'd trade that Rams win to have my Cardinals back. I felt your pain on that Harrison run back and that catch to end the game.
As a long-time Steelers fan, that Super Bowl was the only time in my life I've been conflicted about rooting for my team. I remember wishing there was some way for both teams to win, because Kurt definitely deserved another ring, and thinking this is the one time I wouldn't feel that bad if we lost a playoff game. I rooted more for the Cards than the Steelers the next year, hoping Kurt would get one more shot.
I was going for the Cardinals in that Super Bowl, and I was upset that they were so close to winning it but came up short, but there was still a lot for that team to be proud of that year. Especially after all the hell that team went through before 2008. Nobody thought they would be in the playoffs that year. And when they got to the playoffs nobody thought they would go far. Though they didn't get the job done, it was an incredible season for the Cardinals that year
"Life isn't about winning a football game; it's about the moments and it's about being able to relish and enjoy the things that God gives you." - Kurt Warner Awesome. 😎
Being from cedar rapids we always love the hometown hero,but it wasn't until I married my wife and she told me about the time that she served Kurt and Brenda at the cedar rapids country club and the kindness and respect that he showed that I really realized how down to earth and genuine he really is. Success on all levels exemplified
Just watched american underdog movie and i never heard of warner and his story, but man its one of tjr greatest underdog stories ever, his story is so inspirational and heartfelt, wish he won that 2nd super bowl
seeing this brings me back to the time when i was 10 years old watching the super bowl in my living room and the moment we lost i literally hid and cried for hours.
Kurt it was an honor watching you play for the Cardinals. You had a commanding presence that resonated with your team, and the chemistry to put it all together. That's a story I can watch over and over again. God Bless you and your beautiful family.
They were throwing like crazy all season long. In the playoff suddenly the started power running with James and playing tough defense. Intercepted Ryan 2x sacked him 3x Destroyed Jake Delhome intercepting him 5x he was never the same. Fierce battle won against the eagles staving off a furious Mcnabb comeback. Nearly beat the Steelers.
Most NFL quarterbacks come from a high place and most don't ever get higher. From the starting point to the highest point, the distance he had to cover, the challenges he had to overcome, Kurt Warner is the GREATEST Quarterback in Football history.
That is not true at all! U don't know that. None of u do!!! Josh McCown is one of the greatest, nicest, most humble, respectful people that u could ever meet n ur life!!!!!!! A true class act and a true inspiration just like Kurt Warner!!!! Both r also great examples of men and what's right!!!!!!!! Not to mention the fact that there both great quarterbacks/football players, they respect each other as athlete's, and there both friends!!!!!
May not be the greatest QB, but not many QB's can say that they revived two franchises.
I say that Kurt warner is as good as any qb who has ever played the game but injuries and the fact that warner started his career when he was 27 and what he did was amazing no qb not even brady would be able to revive two franchises like that and he made two francises actual contenders

jmgmarcus big ben🙈
Juan Ayala Peyton...
jmgmarcus Warner or Brees is the best playoff performer as well. just look at the stats.
I'm glad Kurt is a Hall of Famer. He really exemplifies what a Hall of Famer is. It is hard to see the Cardinals get to where they did without him.
You mean Leinart wouldn't have led them to the Super Bowl! LOL You are so right, Kurt exemplifies everything a Hall of Famer is, on and off the field.

Quilly Quilava yes
Quilly Quilava he cant expect to beat the goat Big Ben in a superbowl. #SteelersNation
He only had one good receiver that year and you can probably guess who that is.
@@JoeMama-ly1kc Yeah, Big Ben isn’t the goat
Yeah he is!
Kurt is such an underrated QB
The Sphinx how?? he's a hall of famer
keonn james even still it took a while and I think even as a HOF he doesn't have the respect he deserves.
Imagine what NYG would have done with Kurt vs Eli in 07? I agree he could have had 2 SBs with STL if they didn't bail on him or Vermeil retires early, 1-2 with NYG if they gave him a shot.

It really became just wanting Fitz to win one. I hate that hes been such a class act, such an amazing Cardinal, and we failed him
Get over it, we won fair in square
I saw the rams lose 2 superbowls its heartbreaking but that's the beauty of the game
Damn, I wish the Cardinals could have gotten that one. Just that one.
Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald and a few others were getting tired of carrying the team; against all odds, wow! Kurt was a Christian competitor who WOULD not ever give up; ever. One of the best of all time and a godly family man at the same time.

He’s definitely top ten imo. On the low end but still up there.
AMAN
Everyone had given up on Kurt when he left St. Louis and he proved them all wrong.
Kyle S not me bro im a rams fan and as a kid i was extremely said when they moved on from kurt and went with mark bulger instead
he looked pretty bad in NY, but he got back up and accepted the 2nd Fiddle in AZ, then Leinart couldn't produce.
I still curse the Rams franchise for dumping him because of his thumb injury. I have never rooted for them ever since. I hope that franchise continues to lose in the most miserable of ways.

Always root for NFC West teams to win. Of course i want Cardinals to win one.
Superbowl xl wasnt rigged Steelers don't need refs help to win unlike the patriots
Steelers nation baby
Of course you did.
Cardinals is 💩
Warner to Fitzgerald in 08 was the greatest qb to wr combo in postseason nfl history. Period.

Not even close!!!
Alfonso Montoya how dare you
Warner to Bruce

Kurt Warner ..GREAT QB...GREAT STORY...GREAT HUMAN BEING
I was just talking about this playoff run & SB today & how insanely good Fitz was that year. My phone is def listening to me. Fitz’s playoff stats that year are more than most WRs in an entire season. He was so much fun to watch!
Larry Fitzgerald’s 08 post season was one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen not just in football but in sports in general
I love Kurt. He's the reason im a Rams fan till this day. What a great story.
I despised Kurt Warner for beating my Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV, but sometimes you gotta separate the logo they’re fighting under from the player. Much respect to this dude for his toughness, leadership, and play-making abilities.
Same as a Titans fan. Respect Kurt but will always hate the Rams
I wish he would’ve lost to the Titans and won against the Steelers. Titans get 1 and Cardinals get 1, praise be.
at least the titans had the privilege to lose to a team that was just as much in the dark previously, the cardinals lost to a team that already had five rings by that point, and the fan base made sure to let it be known, I wouldn't say the steelers have the most toxic fan base (new Orleans, San Francisco, and dallas are probably top three), but they are very spoiled
From a store employee to the NFL Hall of Fame. Gotta love Kurt Warner.
Nobody realizes how incredible Kurt was. He’s top 15 of all time
I do. He's my favorite QB ever. I watched him win in '99. I wish he woulda beat the Pats in '01.
He was a couple of plays away from being a 3 time SB champion. If that was the case, it wouldn't even be a question. Guy was really good
Man I was really rooting for him. They came so close to doing it. And on a 9-7 team too!
My favorite nfl player of all time. If he could've played at his best consistently from the start he'd be the best we've known
Watching this has giving me strength, thank you Kurt Warner and God bless you and your family for ever.
I remember these days so well.Super bowl 43 still hurts to this day.
As a patriots fan I hate the giants and the eagles I know what you mean
Man. I love this guy. What a ride. I will remember for the rest of my life. Still breaks my heart.
What an unreal story. His Rams story was incredible enough then after it all, he has one last act and completely resurrects Arizona and makes them a real contender.
Kurt Warner took the Cardinals to the Super Bowl there's not a another quarterback who can say that. Also he's a HoF now so he deserves all the accolades he gets
True
Actually anybody can say "kurt warner took the cardinals to the super bowl"
S.G. Which we qb can claim he took the cardinals to the SB
So many qbs took teams that never been in a super bowl and hof like not that expensive
Warner had a key trait, which was grit. With lineman at his feet and knowing he was about to be slammed by a 300 pound lineman, he would still be focusing on getting the ball to the a target. Even when he missed and got pummeled over and over, he still would stare the onslaught in the face.

I love and have mad respect for Kurt as a person and as a player!!
As a former player. There's nothing like leadership to change a dynamic of a team. All props to Kurt
Winners don’t always win, but they never give up. Kurt never gave up no matter how many times people had written him off. His character, perseverance, and integrity makes him a true hero.

Seems like a down to earth guy, end it at the top, be happy he got to play in 3 SBs, got a ring,in 99
The ending of this video... Was Amazing... I cry... Again.
He's the one I'd want quarterbacking my team, but im even more impressed with him as a human being .
Being from St. Louis but living in Arizona for the past 15 years makes me appreciate this man so much more. Great memories cuz of him

If you think about the talent surrounding him compared to some of the other guys considered to be the best, he had remarkable results with what he had to work with. Being from AZ I’m bias without a doubt, but in my mind he IS the greatest of all time! And he’s an even better human being.
Rams and Cardinal fans should wear their warner jerseys on the day of his HOF induction
I got choked up when they read the letter from his son Zach.....I'm a Titans fan but ive never been more invested in a team other than my own than i was that year with the Cardinals....i wanted Kurt to win that superbowl so badly.....i mean he went from baggin grocery to goin beastmode at QB at the highest level.....he may not be the best player ever or the most talented but he definitely had the biggest heart or was all heart when he played....what an underdog story.....he is the best QB ive ever seen at anticipation type throws and timing type offense.....thats what made "Greatest Show On Turf" so deadly and almost unbeatable because Kurt was a master at throwin the ball before Isaac Bruce or Holt would break on their route....he threw it where they were gonna be.
God love Kurt so much! The golden age of Cardinals football.
5:22 - Look how fast that ball comes off his hand. That's just superhuman.
Kurt Warner is a class act. Amazing leader and caring human being
I had the privilege of meeting Kurt while I was working at Opryland Hotel as a Banquet server in 2007. out of all the tables that we had to wait on during the Aarons Event, I was blessed to get Kurt's table. I was able to chat with Him for a bit before the event started. what an honor it was. He was so friendly to me.
I love the cardinals!!!!
Great Story, it would be more awesome if he won a ring in Arizona.
It would have been so cool to see that 2008 Arizona Cardinals team win that Super Bowl.
arizona should of won that game
I love warner but I can't take credit away from the steelers. They earned that game, still one of the best SB's ive ever seen
Have you seen the one from 5 months ago?
foxfire1112 The Arizona-Steelers, Carolina-New England, Atlanta-New England, and Rams-Titans Super Bowls are some of the best ones of all time.
why should they have won?
fyukfy cause Holmes had foot down and the refs wanted to be a part of 6 lombardis over shocking the world
Kurt Warner... the best QB ever!
Theres just something about Arizona that makes it so special. Maybe the beautiful sunsets or the cool weather on a winter night or seeing all the lights come on when the city becomes alive. I called it that year when the Cardinals went to the Superbowl im calling it again this year I love Dallas but I think the Cardinals will make it to the NFC championship this year.
one of the best, remember he took two different
teams to the super bowl
Hard to believe Larry was ever someone with a "good enough" mentality.
Props to both these guys for mentoring so many others
Kurt is a class act man. All around great guy, so unfortunate he never got a ring. For anyone who likes to read I would definitely recommend his books. Fantastic
Huh? He got a ring with the St.Louis Rams
@@jpeknowbody3649 oh damn duhhh
Beginning of the patriots era.
As a cards fan I just wished he could have gotten one with us.
@@scottt6710 I hear yeah, I'm from St.Louis and he helped ease the pain of losing my Cardinals when he took the Rams to two superbowls,I met all the greats back in the 70's as a young kid. But I'd trade that Rams win to have my Cardinals back. I felt your pain on that Harrison run back and that catch to end the game.
A 'like" before even watching a second of it. Warner is such a class act. Enjoy listening to him in the booth in his second act.
Unbelievable story. Warner / Brady are my GOATs
The ending is what a HOF player should say :)
DREW TOO
Pittsburgh guy but wow my perspective completely changed now about that Super Bowl.
As a long-time Steelers fan, that Super Bowl was the only time in my life I've been conflicted about rooting for my team. I remember wishing there was some way for both teams to win, because Kurt definitely deserved another ring, and thinking this is the one time I wouldn't feel that bad if we lost a playoff game. I rooted more for the Cards than the Steelers the next year, hoping Kurt would get one more shot.
I was going for the Cardinals in that Super Bowl, and I was upset that they were so close to winning it but came up short, but there was still a lot for that team to be proud of that year. Especially after all the hell that team went through before 2008. Nobody thought they would be in the playoffs that year. And when they got to the playoffs nobody thought they would go far. Though they didn't get the job done, it was an incredible season for the Cardinals that year
"Life isn't about winning a football game; it's about the moments and it's about being able to relish and enjoy the things that God gives you." - Kurt Warner
Awesome. 😎
Being from cedar rapids we always love the hometown hero,but it wasn't until I married my wife and she told me about the time that she served Kurt and Brenda at the cedar rapids country club and the kindness and respect that he showed that I really realized how down to earth and genuine he really is. Success on all levels exemplified
Damn, the cardinals were about to win the Super Bowl with him. I hate the Steelers....
That throw and catch from the steelers to win was unreal.
Hater
David Allsman he’s not a hater lmao
Pittsburgh robbed us of our moment!!!!!! We should've won that Super Bowl!!!!
GreenDbz your cardinal tears are sweet
Just watched american underdog movie and i never heard of warner and his story, but man its one of tjr greatest underdog stories ever, his story is so inspirational and heartfelt, wish he won that 2nd super bowl
I cry everytime
seeing this brings me back to the time when i was 10 years old watching the super bowl in my living room and the moment we lost i literally hid and cried for hours.
The 2 biggest bs things in this game was the block in the back on that pick 6 that wasn’t called and the strip sack that wasn’t reviewed at the end
Kurt it was an honor watching you play for the Cardinals. You had a commanding presence that resonated with your team, and the chemistry to put it all together. That's a story I can watch over and over again. God Bless you and your beautiful family.
They were throwing like crazy all season long. In the playoff suddenly the started power running with James and playing tough defense. Intercepted Ryan 2x sacked him 3x Destroyed Jake Delhome intercepting him 5x he was never the same. Fierce battle won against the eagles staving off a furious Mcnabb comeback. Nearly beat the Steelers.
Most NFL quarterbacks come from a high place and most don't ever get higher. From the starting point to the highest point, the distance he had to cover, the challenges he had to overcome, Kurt Warner is the GREATEST Quarterback in Football history.
Kurt is one of the greatest QBs of all time 💯💯❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
He's a classy Hall of Famer. And a good enough quarterback that can will his way through his life as well as the game.
Kurt was the man that played among titans and gods, and did he battle them well.
Still one of the most heartbreaking super bowls ever
This makes me sad, he is so inspirational.
what a great film
I'm from Des Moines Iowa. Kurt came a long way since he was a Des Moines barnstormer!!!!! Great head on his shoulder faith 2 Boot!!
It broke my heart that they lost that super bowl. I was rooting for Warner so much
Just a class act! He had an amazing arm and grit. Would love to have a QB like him in the NFL again. Also thought he retired to early.
Dude deserved more rings
His life story in struggling to get to the pros is so amazing. Thank you for the memories !!
kurt did not want to talk to Mccown lmao
Omer Bloch I know he looked annoyed lol😂
I know. Probably cuz McCown seemed to be kissing his ass.
He probably thought Kurt was done, got ahead of his self
MC clown..as we called him in the 312!!!
That is not true at all! U don't know that. None of u do!!! Josh McCown is one of the greatest, nicest, most humble, respectful people that u could ever meet n ur life!!!!!!! A true class act and a true inspiration just like Kurt Warner!!!! Both r also great examples of men and what's right!!!!!!!! Not to mention the fact that there both great quarterbacks/football players, they respect each other as athlete's, and there both friends!!!!!
The last seconds what Kurt said is truth. Thank you Kurt for an awesome experience. May God bless you.
