#25: Perseverance and Grit: The Hollywood Like Football Life of Kurt Warner

 4x Pro Bowl, 2x All-Pro, 1 ring in 3 SB appearances, 2x MVP, Hall of Famer over 12 NFL seasons.

32K yards, 208 TDs, and 128 INTs don’t paint the full picture of the QB of the Greatest Show on Turf.

Perseverance, grit, and coming back give it the color that made everyone root for the underdog. This is, the Kurt Warner Story.

We talk about the many twists and turns it took for Kurt to even get into the league, which was A LOT. Multiple tryouts, NFL Europe, Arena Football, injuries, and more all played a big part.

But then when the opportunity arose, Kurt took the league by storm with the Greatest Show on Turf; early 2000s Rams were a sight to see.

BUT, Kurt Warner’s story always has ups and downs, and the middle 5 years of his career were so bad that people were ready to discredit his Rams’ achievements.  A late resurgence and magical Cardinals run saved him and cemented his legacy as the true underdog story of a man who never quits.

Listen in to hear the full details and watch some  of the highlights below for those who don’t know about Kurt:

• Bucks vs. Rams 1999 NFC Champ game: Strength vs. strength and controversial Bert Emmanuel catch
• Cardinals vs. Packers NFC Wild Card: Kurt’s last playoff win, dropping 29/33 for 379 yards and 5 TDs, outdueling a young Aaron Rodgers in classic offensive shootout. 
• Good breakdown of some of the technique of Kurt’s deep throw
