2001 was the first year I watched the NFL and I instantly became a fan of Kurt Warner and the Rams. Even when Warner moved on from the Rams, I still rooted for him as well as the Rams. Warner will always be my favorite NFL player. Watching old GSOT clips on UA-cam, this offense was revolutionary. Very well in sync and explosive. You did a great job with this video. As a former St. Louis Rams fan, as well as a Kurt Warner fan, I enjoyed it.
The greatest show on Turf was among the greatest teams ever fielded..... Ever.... But the whiny griping at 14:22 is a bit petty & trashy, the Rams could have made 15 plays differently and won that game, the FACT of the matter is the Patriots beat them because the Patriots were a better team on that day..... And hence the DYNASTY was born..... And would last for 20 consecutive years which obviously proves how truly legitimate the Patriots are, were and continue to be With that being said.... The NFL may never again see something like the Greatest Show on Turf Sure the 2007 Patriots and 2013 Broncos are arguably tied for the greatest offensive seasons of all time..... But they both lost the superbowl.... These Rams made it to 2, won 1 and with just a tiny more bit of luck they could have went to the super bowl 3 years in a row..... But as so it goes..... Very much like Tom Brady, Kurt Warner was overlooked and underestimated by the supposed experts & people who know..... And Warner going to Arizona and bringing that team to a Superbowl only verifies him as one of the greatest of all time

As always thanks for the comment. At the end of the month, I hope to finish my 1998 Packers - 49ers video in the playoffs that you recommended. So I hope to finish that at the end of the month and I would like to give you a shoutout. Thanks again.
Not really.... Not anymore anyways.... He's the only mothaeffa with his own Hollywood movie..... And he brought THE ARIZONA CARDINALS to the Superbowl and played good enough to win mvp..... He was overlooked and missed by the supposed "experts" who claim to know who has "IT" and who doesn't..... Just like with Tom Brady the experts didn't know shht about shht..... When the pressure is the highest and it matters the most nothing the experts "know" counts for anything..... Warner is truly among the GOATS and a class act
Mike Martz's offense was simply unsustainable. It puts way too much pressure on the O-line, and the QB receives way too much punishment. There's a reason why all of Martz's QB's (Warner, Bulger, Cutler) had durability issues.
I agree. There's a lot to talk about Mike Martz in which I hope to get to in a video soon, but Martz's QBs get beat up. Martz has this thing at times where he likes to call similar plays with 7 -step drops despite knowing his QB will get destroyed. There was this Bears-Saints game where Martz kept calling pass plays with 7-step drops and Cutler kept getting sacked and he wouldn't change. But he has a great reputation for designing routes for the WRs. But thank you so much for the comment and thank you for watching the video.
I read up on the taping of the walkthrough situation for the SB between the Rams and Patriots. According to the NFL's investigation, it was never proven that the Patriots taped anything of the Rams' walkthrough. In fact, Matt Walsh (who was a former video assistant for the Patriots during the 2001 season and was fired in 2002) was willing to give out some information about the Patriots' taping. He was apparently at the Rams walkthrough but he did not tape anything for that walkthrough (according to a co-worker of his, he made a comment of "We should've taped that". There was never a tape nor was there any proof that the Patriots did tape the Rams' walkthrough. The Boston Herald, through an unnamed source, were the ones who reported it. And while I do think Marshall Faulk is right to be upset and thinks something fishy went on, there was never any proof and even when, during the investigation, they had a guy (Walsh) who was willing to give information about the Patriots and even he had no proof of taping that walkthrough (even making a comment that he should have taped it). In fact, that's why Willie Gary, who played safety for the Rams during that SB, retracted his lawsuit against the league because Walsh didn't have any evidence on the matter so it was an exercise in futility and he wasn't going to win anything. But talking about the Rams and the Greatest Show on Turf, I loved watching this team in 1999 and 2000. However, once Warner's injuries started taking a toll on him, the team quickly started fizzling out (they weren't bad but they weren't what they were). I was really worried and thought Warner was down after St. Louis. His tenure with the Giants was horrible and it didn't start out that great with Arizona......thankfully he pulled it together and had some great years with Arizona to finish off his career with a SB loss. And yea, they did have a favorable path to the SB but in all honesty, that doesn't discredit what they accomplished at all. Just because you have a favorable path doesn't mean it'll lead you to the SB......it was the luck of the draw and the Cardinals were still able to pull off the victories necessary. And it gave us an exciting SB against Pittsburgh!
The Rams had become lovable losers for some years so in 99 when they started winning I remember alot of people being excited. The offense was incredible and so much talent. Great video again!
I stuck with those Rams in the '90s as I loved them with Eddie Kennison being my favorite player and then you know the rest of the story. As always thank you so much for commenting and I hope you won your fantasy football match-up in Week 1. Get ready for Week 2.
I remember these days. I also remember the dark ages under Jeff Fisher. Man it feels good to be a Rams Fan again, thanks to Snead and McVay. Great Video.
Thank you so much for the comment and thank you so much for spending time watching the video. I mentioned that stat when Warner played 16 games in a season his team went to the SB. So, I really appreciate you watching this video until the end. Thank you so much.
In the Superbowls, I was rooting for the Titans, and they lost. Then, I was rooting for the Cards, aaand they lost. I'm definitely NOT the guy you want picking your Superbowl bets for you! As far as Warner goes, I believe that because of his personality, attitude, compassion, dedication, and genuine life of faith OFF the field, he proved to be an UNDISPUTED leader and hero regardless of what anyone has to say about his all too brief time ON the field! Warner, to me, earned his HoF spot by being the COMPLETE picture of what fans look for and want in a HoF Legend. 🐐 🐏 🏈 🏆 💯 Just my opinion! Thanks for an awesome video!! 😁
Thank you so much the comment and your appreciation for the video. It means a lot to me and once again, I'm so sorry that I'm replying to your comment late. I'm sure you can pick better than some or many on TV. But I enjoyed reading your comment. Thanks again.
Belichek knew the Rams were accuracy and timing. The Pats defense should have had 20 illegal contact penalties. They would intentionally hold hit and push receivers off their routes 10-20-30 yards down the field. Faulk also made a comment about taping the walk through. Apparent Rams had a Red Zone personnel package they never used all season. They line up and Pats D is perfectly lined up to counter the formation and personnel.
Thank you so much for the comment and watching the video. The DBs were able to play like that back then until the NFL decided to enforce illegal contact more starting in 2004 (due to the Pats playing the same way vs IND in the AFC Champ Game). I never heard about that Red Zone package situation. Thanks for posting that. I heard about Faulk talking about the Pats taping the walkthrough (then supposedly, the NFL basically burned all of the footage so no one could see the Spygate stuff) but anyways, I heard that Martz kind of knew about the taping but was so arrogant and confident about winning the game as he didn't care, but not sure how true that is. But thank you so much for the comment and mentioning that.
Kind of crazy to think the Eagles and Cardinals each won 9 games during the regular season and met for the 2008 NFC Championship game. Thanks for the comment and thank you so much for spending time watching this long video. Enjoy the upcoming NFL season.
Thank you so much Mark. That mean a lot to me. I know time is precious as I'm very thankful that you spent your time watching this long video. Thanks again and enjoy the rest of the NFL season.
The Rams defensive drop-off the next season after their 1999 Super Bowl season happened because they played a first place schedule and the AFC West instead of a last place schedule and the AFC Central, which was terrible on offense for the most part…also the NFC West got better in general during the 2000 season. The 2001 Rams were the best team of the bunch after taking all this information into account-they just couldn’t win it all in the end.
Thanks again for the comment. I originally wrote about the perceived weak schedule but then took it out. But the NFC west was perhaps the weakest division in 1999 and the Rams did not play the 14-2 Jaguars who were part of the AFC Central in 1999. Yes the Rams played a tougher schedule in 2000 but for some reason I thought the secondary really took a step back along with Kevin Carter in 2000 no matter who they played. But great info as always. I always appreciate it.
Warner is the greatest quarterback to ever play the game , solely because he always played without fear and he always gave credit to God for all he has been able to do
I lived in STL through these years, 99 was a joy to watch, so many great players! Warner a HOF, no question. Bruce, Holt, Faulk as well. I think it was a big mistake pushing Vermeil out and making Martz HC, I said so at the time Martz just isn't good w managing a whole team and defense.
Thank you so much for the comment as I enjoyed reading it. I agreed about your comment about Martz. One day I hope to do a video about him. Yes, he may have had great route combinations designing plays, but as I said in the video, he loves calling 7-step drops despite at times when they aren't working. Furthermore, I saw a story where position coaches would get angry at Martz because near the end of the week, Martz would change the gameplan, thus angering his position coaches (due to what they were working on in practice and now it goes for waste) and Martz would throw that challenge flag at such perplexing moments. He once through a flag during the opening kickoff for a 5-yard difference or something like that. Thanks for the comment and thanks watching for the video.
@@90sSportsNostalgia totally agree! He had some genius plays but overall not a good coach. He needed someone in charge to reign him in. Would love to see that video! Thanks man
Thank you so much for spending your time watching this video after watching American Underdog. Soon the 2022 NFL season will be here. Enjoy the upcoming football season.
Martz is to blame for the 2003 playoff loss to the panthers. The rams had the ball down 23-20 with less than a minute left and plenty of time to score a TD and win the game 27-23. Instead, martz doesn’t run another play, but let’s the clock run down to three seconds, calls a timeout and kicks the game tying field goal. Smh
Thank you so much for the comment and thank you so much for watching the video. I wanted to do a follow up video about Mike Martz about his very puzzling coach decisions (including his bizarre challenges) to him being able to find a way to irritate his position coaches because he would change the game plan deep into the week. Maybe I will get to it but we shall see. But thanks for the comment and watching the video. Enjoy the NFL Playoffs.
People that thought the Cardinals team was one of the worst playoff teams going in flat out didn't watch the Cards in 2007 - 2008. NFC west was trash and the cards had the division sewed up by mid-season.
Thank you so much for commenting and watching the video. Thanks for watching all the way to the end with when I talked about Warner with the Cards. That was being said about the Cards going into the playoffs in 2008 and a lot had to do with that loss to New England. But when Warner started wearing gloves in 2007, the Cards became a better team. Warner played well at the second half of 2007. You are also right about the NFC West being bad during that time. Thank you so much for commenting and watching the video.

Yes, the Rams were pretty bad prior to 1999. I think they were tied with the Bengals for the most losses in the '90s prior to 1999. Then all of a sudden, one of, if not the great one-year turnaround in NFL history. Thanks for watching the video and thanks for the comment.
