Legendary Rams QB named among highest-graded players since 2000
Legendary Rams QB named among highest-graded players since 2000 The Los Angeles Rams' history over the past 25 years has been up and down. The franchise enjoyed a great start to the millennium with two consecutive playoff appearances and one Super Bowl berth before not seeing much success until Sean McVay became head coach in 2017. But over the past 25 years, one Rams quarterback made Pro Football Network's top-25 highest-graded quarterbacks list: Kurt Warner. He was a three-time Pro Bowler, two-time All-Pro and two-time MVP during his six years with the Rams after going undrafted in 1994 and playing for the AFL and NFL Europe. "Kurt Warner's career started before the QB+ era, but it includes some of the best years measured by the metric. In 2000, he led the NFL in completion percentage (67.7%), yards per completion (14.6), and net yards per pass attempt (9.03). "Warner made his mark with the St. Louis Rams during 'The Greatest Show on Turf,' one of the NFL's most explosive offenses. He later had a successful run with the Arizona Cardinals, earning a Pro Bowl nod in 2008 at age 37. Warner finished his career with 32,344 passing yards, 208 touchdowns, and a 93.7 passer rating. In 2001, he led the league with 4,830 yards and 36 TD passes. "From an advanced standpoint, Warner's numbers weren't elite but were solid — +0.13 EPA per dropback and 7.5 net yards per attempt. Those numbers, combined with his playoff success, helped earn him a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame." As PFN noted, Warner was the leader of "The Greatest Show on Turf" alongside Torry Holt, Isaac Bruce and Marshall Faulk. The group only won on Super Bowl together in 1999, but proved to be one of the most exciting teams to watch in the NFL at the turn of the century. Now, his bust sits in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a sign of one of the greatest Rams players ever.

Kurt Warner Fires Back at Robert Griffin III Over Caleb Williams Controversy
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has been in the news for myriad reasons this offseason as fans, media, and former players continue to debate and discuss what he must do to become the leader coach Ben Johnson's team needs. The Bears got over 3,500 passing yards from the former USC Trojan during his rookie year at Soldier Field with the Bears but his efforts added up to a paltry five wins. Advertisement On Saturday, legendary NFL quarterback Kurt Warner weighed in on a recent controversy surrounding the Bears signal caller as he offered a retort to former NFL QB and college football Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III.

"Caleb Williams not being taught what to watch on film weekly by his Chicago coaches last year was coaching malpractice," Griffin III wrote on Williams. "Just because it's the NFL doesn't mean that the development stops. If you want your QB to see the game like you, then teach him how to watch tape like you do," he continued. Advertisement Warner challenged RGIII's assertion saying that he was never taught how to watch film by his coaches, although he did watch film with them and developed his own habits in the film room during his playing days. Warner and Griffin III continued to chat in the comments section with Griffin III stating that Warner overcame bad coaching. Warner expounded on his comments, making a comment of his own on Griffin's choice of the word "malpractice." Related: Caleb Williams' New List of Dietary Restrictions Makes Waves on Social Media
