Nick Foles was ready to call it quits in 2016 after being released by the Rams. After sitting the bench with Kansas City in 2016 because Chiefs coach, Andy Reid, drafted him with Eagles in 2012, he returned to the Eagles again to sit the bench in 2017. When Carson Wentz tore his ACL, Foles took the Eagles to it's first Super Bowl victory in 2018. He beat Tom Brady and the Pats 41 - 33 and was named the game's MVP.
Yessir…..da best story I’ve heard dats close enough to Kurt Warner’s story & it ended with the Eagles getting their chance of revenge & a QB who never got his respect from da gecko becoming a Super Bowl MVP & bringing Philly their 1st official Super Bowl Trophy 🏆 💯
@@lawrenceabrams2270Nick called the Philly Special play that wasn't even on Doug Pederson's play sheet. Foles snd the team practiced the play only inside buildings so Belichick couldn't spy on it like he did with Spygate to the Eagles in Super Bowl 39.
People always omit from his story that he played in the european Footbal league. Before he was a hall of famer and part of the greatest show on Turf I knew him as the QB of the Amsterdam Crusaders. His journey was actually do complicated and unlikely, that they cut out de-tours from the documentary /movie
99 Warner is as good as it gets. Detroit blesses you brother. More importantly, GOD bless you my brother. As a Detroiter, used to losing, you made me love football again. Thank you Kurt
I was a HUGE anaheim pirhanas fan in the mid 90s. We were having a great season before running into kurt warner. He was so clearly on another level for an arena league qb. Followed his career closely and even though i hated the rams for leaving anaheim i couldnt help but root for kurt. Hes also a fan of my favorite high school football team, california school for the deaf riverside. I love underdogs.
my dad was a scout for the piranhas. so cool to hear man. i still have stacks of cards with the bites taken out of them and programs and so much merch. the pond was amazing
Kurt Was (Beast)!. Ppl Forgot Most Underrated NFL. When they called him he was old.They said he wouldn't do anything, The media called him Soft.As soon as he got the Rock Kurt destroyed the league for three yrs with The Greatest Show on Turff.
I remember my cousin having the Playstation game Kurt Warners arena football unleashed. Good times. He is a massive rams fan so that was a fun seqson for him.
The greatest rags to riches story in the history of professional sports. And it couldn't happen to a more deserving individual. Kurt Warner is a great man and the model of perseverance, never giving up on his dreams.
Have a good friend who went to school with his kids. Everything I’ve heard says that the Warner family were very active in the community and very family oriented. I remember when I was a kid and he took the Cards to the Superbowl.
Still one of the greatest stories in NFL history and three times led his team to the Superbowl and could have easily won all three and been the mvp in all three ,and though it didn't turn out that way, he still did pretty damn great ,he got the freaking Cardinals to the Superbowl, that's monumental in its own right
As the late Don King used to say, " ONLY IN AMERICA" !!!!! Talk about a Cinderella, rags to riches story !!!!! Kurt Warner rose up from humble beginnings to a Super Bowl winning, Pro Football Hall of Fame NFL career !!!!!
I was NOT aware that Don King was still alive. THANK YOU for letting me know that he is still alive. Be as he has said countless times, "Only in America" .
He grew up and went to high school in Cedar Rapids. He attended college at UNI in Cedar Falls. He worked at HyVee in Cedar Falls. Two completely different cities. When retelling history, accuracy matters. Details matter. No matter how small it may seem.
What’s funny is that in the movie, it is said that he joined the packers for training camp. Mid practice he was called to take a few snaps in a scrimmage and he said no because he didn’t know the plays yet. He was later kicked off the team that day 😂. (Correct me if some of this is incorrect)
Yeah Mike Holmgren was an idiot! But it worked out for the best! Warner would have just been a third stringer behind, Rodgers and Favre. He would have faded into obscurity. Things happen for a reason.
@@kenbard6371 I think Mark Brunnell had at least a starting job somewhere. I know I heard his name in the past, but Ty Whom? Never heard of the guy. Again things happen for a reason.
After playing in college at Northern Iowa, he was signed by the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent. He was not able to play there, so he went to the Arena Football League, and then later the NFL Europa. In 1998, Warner was signed by the St. Louis Rams. I call you out.
No, that would be wrong. He actually had a tryout with the Packers then went to stocking shelves, then played Arena football, then got back in the NFL know your history, sir.
My cousin Rick Schaff played with kurt warner on the Barnstormers. My brother had kurts barnstormers rookie card and the year the Ra.s won the superbowl against the titans that card was going for over a grand. He didn't sell it because he was sure they were going to repeat. They didn't. Value dropped by like $500. He still has the card lol
Nice! My dad played with Kurt Warner at UNI. My dad was a kicker and Kurt sometimes was his holder. My dad also played Arena football and played against Kurt and the Barnstormers a few times!
You missed a piece outta this story. He infact did get a shot at the NFL right after going undrafted. The greenbay packers signed him but he was cut during the first week of training camp because he refused to get a rep in because he didn't know any of the plays. The rams was actually his second shot in the NFL. Other than that great explanation.
Mike Martz's offense made him a star. The Coach Martz's reliance on a pass happy offense became predictable, which led to Kurt getting injured. I never resented Marc Bulger for replacing him, but he wasn't Kurt. Kurt finally found a way to grip the ball properly again and found his way back to the Super Bowl. I just wonder if the mid career injury hadn't happened how much better his career could have been.
2023 is considered the year of the backup QB not only due to their number but also to the stories they brought. I'm sure we haven't heard the last of Bagent, DeVito, Lock, Zappe and company. 😊
Same thing happened to me bagging a job that didn't pay. It was like the arena league, they kept calling me back while I said I'll give you another year if you get me a try out . I got one try out and blew it and here I still am. Still looking for another try out at 66. 😢😂
He wouldn't have got a shot at all had he'd not played college ball.Lets keep it real. No team is signing a random dude from stocking shelves even if he does have the talent. Experience played a huge role and keep in mind he actually played in college.
I was at the preseason game when Trent Green blew his knee out. They sent in Warner. All that went through my brain was "This season is over". Man was I wrong. Went to 2 more home game that year and it was some of the most exciting football I had ever watched.
Let's skip the part where he played for the 1998 Amsterdam Admirals in the NFL Europe, formerly World League of American Football... Warner hates to be reminded that his HOF career started in the City of Sin!
No, he won one Super Bowl against the titans. He went to three, lost to the patriots, then lost to the Steelers. Still, a Super Bowl champion and one of the best feel good stories out there

Thing I loved about Kurt, he always stepped his game up in the playoffs.Probably the best post season QB I've ever watched.Guy was nails.
I've got every rams replica jersey of Kurt Warner and Marshall faulk. Thst team is what made me fall in love with the game when i was in 3rd grade.
One of the best men to ever play the game.

Best nfl quarterback ever. Took two teams to the SB that had no business there.
1999, that Superbowl seems like yesterday
I used to go to Milwaukee Mustangs games when they were in the Arena League. Every time Iowa would visit Milwaukee, Kurt would tear it up.
The ultimate gunslinger and it’s not forget one moon, either my two favorite quarterbacks of all time
I remember my cousin having the Playstation game Kurt Warners arena football unleashed. Good times. He is a massive rams fan so that was a fun seqson for him.
That’s just badassery at its finest what a story.
Kurt Warner wouldn't have been without Rodney Harrison. The man that took Trent Green's knee out!
Same with Tom Brady, who owes his career to Mo Lewis.
The greatest rags to riches story in the history of professional sports. And it couldn't happen to a more deserving individual. Kurt Warner is a great man and the model of perseverance, never giving up on his dreams.
Kurt Warner Super Bowl 34 MVP and tough as nails !
While living in Iowa I had passed by the Hy-Vee where he worked. There was no clue that the young man in the aisle would turn out like he did.
Legend says that he was such an accurate passer that he used to throw stock items right into the spots on the shelf when he was running short on time
It was amazing. I watched him play in the arena league and thought if he ever got a chance he would be great.
Have a good friend who went to school with his kids. Everything I’ve heard says that the Warner family were very active in the community and very family oriented. I remember when I was a kid and he took the Cards to the Superbowl.
Jake Delhomme too was a nfl-Europe guy who ended up taking his team to the Super Bowl
thts shows this guy is humble not like Tom Brady and his old Coach cheater ths guy is among the best of Best QB'S ever gud job Mr K
we steelers fans like th guy
Wild. lol just a wild comment to make.
Man really knows how to read a defense
Isaac bruce and tory holt made it easy for him.
Still one of the greatest stories in NFL history and three times led his team to the Superbowl and could have easily won all three and been the mvp in all three ,and though it didn't turn out that way, he still did pretty damn great ,he got the freaking Cardinals to the Superbowl, that's monumental in its own right
The fact that he played till he was almost 40 is remarkable! He would have had it not been for the Bountygate Saints!
This man is the definition of a champion.
Arguably the best quarterback ever as far as talent.
As the late Don King used to say, " ONLY IN AMERICA" !!!!! Talk about a Cinderella, rags to riches story !!!!! Kurt Warner rose up from humble beginnings to a Super Bowl winning, Pro Football Hall of Fame NFL career !!!!!

Great story!!

Trent Green didn't tear his ACL ...... Rodney Harrison did.
Kurts my favorite QB of all time
The reason why I like football is this Rams team 💙
My man, Dick Vermeil, did his homework, and got Kurt Warner, and the rest is history.
Im growing up in stl now and always hear story of the greatest show in turf Kurt Isaac Bruce and Troy hault

That 99 Rams offense is still the greatest to ever take the field. Warner is a top 5 QB all time.
I saw him play for the Barnstormers in 1996. They beat the Minnesota Fighting Pike, a short-lived AFL expansion team.
I like his QB analysis on UA-cam. He'd be a great QB coach.
Yeah he was a good quarterback and had a cool story!
I hope I can be the Kurt Warner of Rap Music.
Stocking shelves was before playing arena football .He didn't get the call while stocking shelves .
Here I am, from CR waiting for the courage to give my tree a job.
After playing in college at Northern Iowa, he was signed by the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent. He was not able to play there, so he went to the Arena Football League, and then later the NFL Europa. In 1998, Warner was signed by the St. Louis Rams.
I call you out.
He rode the bench for 4 years. Makes it that much more impressive.
Love this story!!!

That 94 Packers team was something else... they found 4 QBs.. they had Farve, Mark Brunell, Ty Detmer, and Kurt Warner. GB just knows how to do QBs.
10000 yards in arena football is absolutely diabolical
The movie they made about him is definitely worth the eatch
Wow, make the movie now I just cried 😢
The movie is called American Underdog
It was Cedar FALLS, Iowa.
Kurt Warner is the Goat idc that manning & brady broke records

Who doesn’t know this? This is liking knowing Brady was a sixth rounder.
So we have to stop talking about it forever??
Yeah, there's Brady, Brees, Favre, blah, blah, blah. The REAL GOAT is KW 13!!!🏈🐏😎👍
We're witnessing a story like this today with Brock Purdy going from Mr irrelevant to being the starting QB on one of the best team in football
not even close bud

Your missing fact he played 2 years in NFL EUROPE in Amsterdam
Actually the packers gave him a shot before Arena but he wasnt ready
American underdog what a story
Amsterdam Admirals Legend
The dollar sign goes in front of the numbers.
Best QB ever next to joe and Dan. Top 3 I don’t care with others think he’s him
Dont forget about his tiny stint with Green Bay as a UDFA
His most memorable play without a doubt was that James Harrison coast to coast Super Bowl tuddy
Pretty sure he was still working part time at hyvee while signed with the barnstormers
Cedar falls not Cedar Rapids
$5.50/ hour back in 2014 I was stocking shelves at a grocery store for $5.85/hour I was 17
FOR A MOVIE
Let's skip the part where he played for the 1998 Amsterdam Admirals in the NFL Europe, formerly World League of American Football... Warner hates to be reminded that his HOF career started in the City of Sin!
I think you missed a pretty big fact that Green Bay Packers signed him for two days and released him
People putting the “$” symbol after the number instead of in front of the number are a special breed.
He was a camp arm in Green Bay. What am I doing if you don't know the story about Kurt Warner? You live under a rock get it right man
I could have won the Super Bowl with that offense
Those barnstormer uniforms are horrific
That Rams offense was the greatest ever assembled.Missed out on a golden opportunity to be a dynasty🤦🏽
he went to the packers in 1994 but was cut
I think you mean "after Rodney Harrison tour Trent Green's ACL"
🐏💙💛
God Bless Amen.
MFer won 3 Super Bowls did he not? In my opinion it's one of the greatest personal story's in sports history!
No, he won one Super Bowl against the titans. He went to three, lost to the patriots, then lost to the Steelers. Still, a Super Bowl champion and one of the best feel good stories out there
3 super bowls trip is feat alone specially if you are one of the main guys in the team.
No, but he took the frickin Cardinals to their first sb appearance. If he won that sb they would’ve automatically retired his number.
You left out.him going to Green Bay first then to St. Louis.
only if they made a movie about it
And people think things dont happen for a reason.
Bro you had a degree, why are you stocking shelves 😂
183 TDs X $100 = $18,300 bonus
