Years Active: 1998-2003
Quarterback Kurt Warner had a short career as the team's starting quarterback. He was the primary starter between 1999 and 2001, and he started just six games in 2002.
But regardless of his limited time with the team, he was easily one of the top players that ever played for the franchise.
Warner started training camp in 1999 as the team's backup for quarterback Trent Green. However, Green received a season-ending knee injury during the preseason against the New England Patriots, which forced Warner into the starting role.
Not only did Warner get the job done when he stepped in as the starter, but he had the best season for a quarterback in Rams history.
He threw for 4,353 yards and 41 touchdowns, which made him the first player to throw 40 or more touchdowns since Dan Marino in 1986. And not to mention he was the pilot of possibly the greatest offense in NFL history, also known as 'The Greatest Show On Turf'.
Warner led the Rams to a Super Bowl victory at the end of the 1999 season, which was the first in franchise history.
He led the team to another Super Bowl in 2001, but they lost to the New England Patriots.
Warner received a thumb injury during the 2002 season, and his poor performance led many to believe that he might not have been able to recover, so he was sent packing in favor of Marc Bulger.
Warner made the Pro Bowl three consecutive times for the Rams between 1999 and 2001, and he is expected to be elected into the Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible.
