Rams_81
When Warner ultimately got shut down in 2003, he was had been playing poorly and was a shell of himself with turnovers both Interceptions and fumbles. His hand was an issue as were concussions.

Frankly, he wasn't healthy and wasn't playable. He sits for a couple of months and is asked to go into a game later in the year and he refuses.

The reality is that sitting him that 2003 season, probably saved his career and he turned down a chance to play when he was healthier.

The other part of this is Kurt Warner was benched 4 times for poor play over 5 seasons.

1) Bulger
2) Manning
3) McCown
4) Leinert

coaches (I think all 4 coached in superbowls?)

Martz
Coughlin
Green
Not sure on Whistenhunt

NFL is not for long and all of the coaches didn't think Kurt Warner could hold it together. You were not going to win with him at that time and nobody did. His winning percentages for those 5 years was so poor. so is waiting 5 years reasonable in the NFL? His touchdown to interception ratio and fumbles were an issue as well. If you look at the numbers of wins and losses and personal stats, and presented that with no knowledge how great he was from 1999-2001, he most likely wouldn't get a chance to even play.

Well written 81! That's how I remember it too. He was costing us games and was "unplayable" until he found the glove in AZ. How long were the Rams supposed to wait for him to recover? For all they knew...he wasn't going to recover. He had nothing to gain by making a statement like this. He was\is considered a "god" to Rams fans. IMO, this comes across as a slap in their faces. I think he his a great human being and God fearing man. A HOF'er without doubt. He did some outstanding things for the Rams and St louis. He played lights out for the first 3 years and was fortunate to have a HOF worthy supporting cast. He made the most of it.

Bottom line is the Rams gave him a chance. DV "believed" in him..."We will rally around KW and we WILL play good football". They could very easily have brought someone else in but didn't. When Green became healthy again, the Rams "believed in him" again by sending off Green to KC. Point is, the Rams believed in him until he couldn't play anymore. The Giants "believed" in him too but he played poorly there too. When he went to AZ, he was brought in as a backup if my memory is correct, so how much did AZ really "believe" in him. As I said before...hate the FO but don't hate the franchise. If you do...just keep it to yourself.

#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
