May 7, 200421 yr I'd rather get Kerry Collins than Kurt Warner. More upside plus you don't have to give up a draft choice to get him.

May 7, 200421 yr collins would probably want starting job... The best guy should start...if Collins is better, he should be the #1!
May 7, 200421 yr There's a part of me that likes this trade, then there's the other part that hates it. The security of having 2 capable QB's is great, but I'm not sold on warner being able to accept a backup role......
May 7, 200421 yr This does not seem to be a popular opinion, but I think Warner should be given the reigns.
May 7, 200421 yr This does not seem to be a popular opinion, but I think Warner should be given the reigns. We'd lose like 13 games. Remember, he fumbled 7 times on opening day last year. We're talking about a Rams team that has great offensive tackles, and guys like Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce, and Torry Holt at the skill positions. Basically, he might have the worst footwork of any quarterback in the last 25 years. And we have a promising young QB in Grossman. You don't want to mess with that.

It is ridiculous to judge a guy based on his only start (and he was playing with a concussion), and Kerry Collins has by far the worst footwork of NFL quarterbacks (and the worst hands). As for Rex. Rex has a ton of talent, and I don't think sitting him will affect him, or his ability. I think it can be helpful, to play behind Warner.

Kerry Collins and Kurt Warner both have horrible footwork, but I'd say that Kurt takes the cake. 7 fumbles....I wonder why it was his only start. And you just said yourself that Rex has a ton of talent. Why would we push him to the side for a short term option?

And you just said yourself that Rex has a ton of talent. Why would we push him to the side for a short term option? Its what a player does with his talent that is most important. Obviously if Rex had an awesome camp, and is playing like he knows all the nuances than he should get the job. But as a guy with only a few starts under his belt, it would not hurt to spend more time learning.
May 7, 200421 yr But factor that Martz is the head coach most likely to kill your quarterback. He doesn't even utilize Marshall Faulk, especially this past year.

But as a guy with only a few starts under his belt, it would not hurt to spend more time learning. If it was up to me, though, I'd let him learn on the job, as Troy Aikman did when he went 1-15 in his first year. Otherwise, we'll have to put up with the crap in 2005, and maybe even 2006. I don't mind an 8-8 record in 2004, as long as Grossman can get a full year of experience underneath his belt.
May 7, 200421 yr But factor that Martz is the head coach most likely to kill your quarterback. He doesn't even utilize Marshall Faulk, especially this past year. Martz would make one hell of a WR coach. He can't do much else. As far as him being appointed head coach, take a look at the owner over there in St. Louis. Football knowledge is nonexistant over there. The dumbest super bowl winner in the history of the sport, perhaps.

May 8, 200421 yr From Rotoworld: Kurt Warner's agent told the AP today that he would be willing to sign a one-year deal for this season. It sounds like Warner will be a member of the New York Giants this season. He's not recommended in any fantasy league.
May 8, 200421 yr From ProFootballCentral.com According to our sources in St. Louis there are rumors that quarterback Kurt Warner has just been traded to Chicago for a late round pick in the 2005 Draft. Warner, who some rumored to be a June 1st cut, has restructured his current deal with St. Louis in order to facilitate this trade but the key ingredient for Warner is former Rams defensive coordinator, and current Chicago Head Coach, Lovie Smith. Though yet to be confirmed, our sources say that these rumors are running very strong and we should be seeing more information in the days ahead. Stay tuned to ProFootballCentral.comfor further confirmation on this developing story. Bears do not have cap room for this deal not going to happen before June 1i f at all
