This is EXACTLY what I dropped down here to say. Pure class, this guy. Every single word he spoke was class. Excellent example of what humility and confidence together look like. Well balanced, sharp, and respectful.
This interview reveals the humility and faith of a man whose character is based in family and God. Thank you Joe for the excellent interview with Kurt Warner!
The year Kurt Warner burst on the scene..I had drafted Marshal Faulk and some guy named Issac Bruce. Then when Green got hurt ..I watched some no name throw 3 TD’s! On a whim I picked him up after week 1.. by week 3 he was unstoppable. The other two were unstoppable!, I dominated the league! I was a guru! Great times! The reality is this guy is like a saint, perfect example of how to be a real man!
I met Kurt at the 2022 Big 12 Championship game in Dallas. Very nice guy. He sat with the other parents rooting for their sons on the Kansas State Wildcats. Super nice guy.
What a class act Kurt Warner is. He was not only one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, he is a great human being. The more l learn about him the more l admire him. Great interview.
Brock Purdy ( Kurt Warner 2.0 ? ) 🙏🏽😎. As a 49ers fan since 79. I’ve always admired Kurt Warner. He is what a man should aspire to be on & off the field. Much props & respect for him!!! Thank you Kurt for all that you did & continue to do for the game of football👊🏽
Redskins fan from 1973 DOB who remembers when my team, way long ago, was your Bay area rival for NFC supremacy in the 1980s. Hate to say it, but all because of Brock, I'm pulling for the 49ers in the Super bowl to win the SB. Signing off, HTTR for life! PS--I have to give you credit for rooting for this underdog rival of your team (those Rams), except for instances that affected yours in the old NFC West too. Last, but not least, Kurt! (I had friends call me from my hometown from the DC areq when he lifted our local Cardinals, who I never rooted for, by the way, praising this dude, leading the AZ Cards to a Super Bowl too, in addition to the helpless Rams earlier in his career)
Kurt Warner was the first NFL quarterback name that I learned on my own. As a kid I'd heard of Marino, Bradshaw, Joe Montana, Namath, etc. But Kurt Warner was the first player that I remember watching and actually seeing for myself that "wow, this Warner guy is really good. I think I'm gonna pull for the Rams". Little did I know that I was watching one of the greatest offenses to ever be assembled.
Dick Vermil gave the commencement speech at my high school graduation. And he cried. So glad he got to be part of that incredible time with the rams. Kurt Warner was a machine. The whole team was. They took it to another level.
Dick Vermeil always cries at the drop of a hat. Famous for that. Also known for caring very deeply about everyone in his life, players and otherwise. Vermeil is a very genuine person.
He gave us a great ride in St. Louis with the Rams and I also followed the Cardinals in Arizona because they were a St. Louis team prior to moving to Arizona. He came with in an eyelash of winning that Super Bowl as well. He's a great quarterback and he's also one of my favorite QB analysists today. 9
Kurt I'm a St. Louisan and you are my favorite athlete of all time, and the person that you are makes it so much easier to feel that way. I also truly believe in my heart of hearts that had Dick Vermeil NOT retired after your SB win, that the Rams would have indeed become a dynasty. Mike Martz was an unbelievable offensive coordinator, but didn't have the personality to be an effective head coach. He ended up running you out of town. Vermeil was perfect in the job. Only to retire and then come back a year later with KC. THE GREATEST SHOW WAS INDEED THE PERFECT STORM!
This is the prime example of a great man. A great human being. God Bless you and your family. If you only knew what took from this. When you talked perspective you are a man that has lived by principles. Thank you.
Oh man you REALLY don’t know how much I wanted to see do well and you never disappointed me! I stoped breathing when you went out of the pocket. But found a way, God blessed you and I .
To be honest I thought the season was over when Trent Green went down I didn't even watch but I would look at the stats and for three games I saw 309 yards and three touchdowns 275 three touchdowns 310 yards three touchdowns and then I was sold on Kurt Warner
I remember all that. The Rams were getting a lot of pre-season attention; _finally_ the year they would be successful. And then Trent Green went down, and...really? Their QB is some 27 year old they signed from the Arena League? How sad! Didn't last long: They blew teams out every week, and were quickly 18 or 22 point favorites. Wild stuff.
Just think, if Trent Green didn't tear up his knee, Kurt Warner might have never played.. He was so good.. Fast offense, got rid of the ball quick, HOF !!!
Big Rams fan here, stretching back to the often frustrating times during their first run in L.A. I don't pay any mind at all to the NFL now. But I welled up with a teary pride when I re-lived for a moment here in the clip of Kurt and the boys beating San Fran after the Rams had been 0-17 against them for an eternity. Damn! that Greatest Show on Turf was a thing of beauty and made this one Rams fan happy when it actually happened on the field and almost as happy when watching it from the film archives years later. Listening to Kurt reminisce makes for a good show. Yeah, watching this was fun.
Ive watched American football in the UK for 40 years ... there have been many great quarterbacks, as a GB fan Favre, buy only 1 i admire ... Kurt worked hard for every single thing he accomplished and deserves it all
Til this day today Nov 30th 2023 Kurt Warner is the most precise passer ever in the NFL better than Elway Manning Brady Montana Marino he was the most precision passer threw the ball exactly where it had to be and to where his receiver was the only one who could catch and get to the ball
@@ericmcgrath9472 yeah but Brady won 7 with mediocre players not like Montana who had the GOAT receiver in Jerry Rice and the best Defense and Brady did it with multiple teams
The parallels between him and his team, and Brock Purdy are amazing to me. He’s a guy who was barely drafted, no one thought he could play, and yet he was an incredibly accurate passer who fit perfectly into an innovative offense filled with HOF level talents. Kurt had Martz, Faulk, Bruce, and Holt - as well as a HOF LT in Orlando Pace. Brock has Shannahan, McCaffrey, Kittle, Debo and Aiyuk - and a future HOF LT in Trent. Neither Purdy nor Kurt had the strongest arm (a wildly overrated attribute - c.f. JaMarcus Russell), but they were precise passers who hit their receivers in stride and always seem to hit the open receiver. When I watch Purdy and hear the criticism of him being a “system QB with so much talent around him” I see Kurt. Every HOF QB I can think of had great talent around them and usually great head coaches as well. So what? Kurt is a class human being, always outwardly humble and self-deprecating, but inwardly confident.
You know what’s great about this show? It gives everybody a shot in the arm to work and believe in themselves. Keep going Mr Buck ( here from Brazil 🇧🇷)
Wow this 3rd one ive witnessed and truly beautiful! U nailed another! Now ill watch the Super Bowl and later i watch another great interview! I love Kurt, i was here in Arizona, rooting for the the man! A great person! Again a Great interview/video! Thanks U both!
Joe Buck does his homework and demonstrates how to run an interview. Most interviewers try to entertain and fly by the seat of their pants with no depth. Mr. Buck could shows how to to work with the person being interviewed. Thanks. GB
I watched that game when Kurt got his first shot... the media had been making a story line about him and how he packed groceries, then he got his shot.
My favourite QB by some distance and what a great man. I've only just discovered watching this how close he might have come to being QB for my Bears 😯. If only 😢
I’ve got to go back to Iowa someday soon. My parents were originally from Dayton, Ohio and while my Dad was going to Palmer College in Davenport my brother and I were born there. They moved back to Ohio when I was probably 2 years old so I have no memories.
It is amazing what a man can accomplish with a loving supportive wife as I have and Kurt has. I grew up as a share croppers son in the mud and mosquitoes picking cotton and hoeing to retire in top one percent of my active US NAVY occupation. God is good all the time! Wu es such as his and mine are so fantastic. Praise God for women such as this🙌✝️ /s/MCPO JOHN EMMONS living the great life with my wife of 62+ years! Thank you Jesus!🙌🙌
A great man let along a great football player but obove all a man of faith Kurt Warner YOU belong in the Hall of Fame but you also belong to God the Father and he has a special place for you ❤
Rockie.Bylar( not sure how to spell name) he got drafted ti go to vietnam. He served got wounded in combat told he could not play football again. He did . His story is better. Or staubach going to serve 5yrs in vietnam
Yeah I’ll never understand St. Louis bailed on Kurt so soon. The talent they had they could’ve gotten back on track and made one for run idk. Like Montana a decade before he proved with another team he wasn’t done yet.
I really didn't know Joe Buck I just thought that he was related to some big shot in the Industry. Today with this interview Joe has earned a little respect from longtime fan of the game. He picked the right guy to honor, couldn't miss with Curt. Curt is such a wholesome guy wish we had more Curts. USA USA
Pat Mcafee is up to make hall of fame. He said all he did was punt. But I saw him just lay a player out trying to return his punt he was a real football player
It was one thing for Harrison to grab an interception and deny Warner a touchdown. He had to rumble for a hundred yards to score in a pick-six. That was a 14-point swing and denied Kurt a second Super Bowl. The Super Bowl gods are certainly fickle...
Just think if the Chicago Bears have Kurt Warner instead of cade, McCloud, Matthews, and Miller. They were all a joke compared to him. We had a good receiving core, and a good defense we just needed a quality quarterback he would’ve fit the mold just like Jim McMahon
Every year around the middle of October there are 3-4 NFL teams sitting there at 1-5 or 0-6 and if you asked each coach why they don't have Kurt Warner, Eric Crouch, Charlie Ward or Tim Tebow at QB they would tell you that those QBs are losers. Every year.
I just could not see this! The host always over does it with his words. He has to put his opinion on EVERYTHING! UUURRGGGHH! Costas would have been better as a host.😮
