    For STILL upset Warner fans.....

    My suggestion? Go find another team. It's pretty obvious that to some of you, you will never get over the fact Warner was let go. If by now those of you who are still upset with that direction by the Rams, I highly suggest you walk away and find another team. I took a week sabbatical from this site, and the same lot of you who were spewing about what happened before the season started are still at it. For your own sanity, please find another team. This one let you down way too much for you to get over it in a professional, adult manner. He's never coming back, there will be no real revenge whatever happens, so anything that happens from now on will be nothing but torment for you.

    If you truly can't get over the fact he was let go, there are several other teams out there that you can choose from. Please feel free. That's my holiday wish for the fans of Warner. If you are able to get over that he was let go, bully for you. If you can't, good luck.

    Re: For STILL upset Warner fans.....

    I totally concur. This team needs all the positive support it can muster. The way things are going, too many posters blame Martz and Bulger, etc. for all the wrong reasons.

    I read an article that NY's Coughlin needs a lot of love as his team is near mutiny. I wonder if the posters you sublimely refer to reak havoc on the 'ants sites ....

    I am staying with the RAMS with whomever at coach and QB! For the next 30 years.

    Happy Holidays and A SUCCESSFUL NEW YEAR FOR ALL, on and OFF the Gridiron!

        You already have moved KW-related threads to a different forum, I suppose you could ban them for their own good if you still don't like what they say.

          It's not that, it's just what is the point anymore? At first yea, I could see it. However, still? He isn't coming back, there isn't any grand revenge scheme, it is what it is.

          Banning is such a harsh thing, no one here really wants to ban anyone. However, if Warner means that much to fans still, then for their own sanity they may think about changing loyalties. It would be much healthier for them.

            AV, how can you start another thread like this. You know you're only going to cause trouble and get everyone riled up!


            Oh... wait... I'm AV.... you're Tx...

              It's just....what more can be said? Really? It's to the point now that if you still are harping on the subject, I highly suggest moving on to another team. For your own good. That's all.

                It's nice to know that someone is looking out for the lost and forlorn's interests. I wonder if Dr. Phil needs an assistant.

                If this thread doesn't become the poster child for the General Smack Forum, I'll be surprised.

                  What exactly is the point of this? Warner was and is one of the biggest names in Rams history. He's never going to go away. Since that's the case, if you have a problem hearing about him or the debatable decision to get rid of him maybe it's time for you to move on to a different team. The more you try to get people to stop talking about him the more you're going to give yourself fits. It's probably in your best interest to just move on.

                  If you can deal with the fact that there will always be Rams fans who are Kurt Warner fans "too", bully for you. If you can't, good luck.

                    It's just getting to the point of ridiculous. Fans like you mokler, have moved on. You were once one of the most vocal but as a fan you have moved on. It isn't in every post of yours anymore, to your benefit.

                    However, there are still those that have to post about him everytime. It's not just one person. Those are the ones this thread is directed to.

                        For those of us that didn't jump ship after what we endured in the 90's, this is just a bump in the road and we're not going anywhere. Sorry.

                          Everyone seems to be missing the point.

                          Here's the point. If you can post on threads in topic that have nothing to do with Warner, great. This isn't for you.

                          If you have to post about Warner, even if the thread is about the special teams, then I suggest you move on.

                          Watch the threads. See who is doing it and who isn't. It's more than one person also.

                            I understand that Tex but I think you may be a little too focused on the Warnerites. What I mean is, the number of individual posters solely focused on Warner is pretty finite. Even Atc, who's central argument generally stems from Warner's release, is one of very few who are actually using Warner as an argument anymore.

                            Even Atc, as biased as they come, is making coherent, understandable points in regards to his arguments so I don't agree that he's a Warnerite(in the worst sense of the definition). On top of it all, the central theme for any of us who initially thought that it was wrong to get rid of Warner, is what would be best for the Rams. It's obviously a debatable opinion with volumes of statistics and situations to argue either or both sides of the fence.

                            But, just like Namath will be forever attached to the Jets, so will Warner be attached to the Rams.

                            Believe me, it's taken a huge shift of opinion for me to alther my stance on the subject. But I will forever hold a grudge about the initial decision and circumstances surrounding that decision to get rid of Warner. My position has always been that Warner wasn't the problem for the Rams and making him (of all people) a scapegoat was just plain wrong.

                            In the now, I happen to feel somewhat vindicated in my opinion since it seems obvious to me that no qb would be able to make the Rams a good/great team right now. Which leads back to what I argued so many moons ago, it's not the qb. Changing to Bulger won't save the Rams from the big picture. Warner playing here now would not solve any of the problems the team is having and would be worse for Warner. I'm content, as well as anxious to see where ol' Kurt plays next year. But, I don't begrudge those who feel that Warner would have been a better qb to keep. I happen to agree.

                            When it comes to football discussions and message boards I think it's a good idea to let people debate and discuss whatever they want. That's the point of this place. Yes, it's a well worn discussion but so what? If people are still willing and wanting to talk about it, then more power to them. That's what you want on a message board.

                              Oh goodness. I can't even explain our position as a board without getting lambasted.

                              Alright, I'm back to my head moderator status for just a second. I apologize Dez, but I feel I must.

                              This is our board. It's free to everyone, but we run the thing. If we delete your post because it's out of topic, it's because it's out of topic. Don't cry, don't whine, don't complain. If you don't like it, move on. We don't want your criticisms, we don't want to be told how to run the board, we don't want helpful hints. This is our dictatorship. If you don't like it, move on to the other boards.

                              How's that?

                                Feelings on Warner
                                by Barry Waller
                                It comes across the screen like so many useless bits of information that crawl along the bottom of ESPN's endless sports channel....Kurt Warner agrees to 2-year deal with Cardinals. It's certainly no surprise, but thinking about my reaction to it, a moment of clarity once again reminds me of what Warner's saga means to so many, even those like me, the most hardened of sports fans.

                                Yes that was me at the Blues-Redwings fiasco last night, hoping that Marian Hossa's night was through early after a hard hit on Detroit's leading scorer. Like most ultimate fans, I think what hurts my enemy helps my guys. If sports is a microcosm of war, invented to touch that part of humans that loves competitive conflict, then this part of fandom is certain proof.

                                Even in a relatively civil group of sports fans in St Louis, fans still become obsessed to winning, and why not, in a sports environment that so offers little more on the surface. All that ESPN and most of the media wants is stories. Talented, but immature and stupid players get most of the ink in the end, and a lot of stuff about some real great people who happen to be football players never is known.

                                But we know about Kurt Warner, we know his whole life story, and some of us have had the absolute privilege to observe him up close and personal over several years, and get to know the man behind the magic.

                                Those who never got to know him can't believe why fans love him here so much, some that don't even care about football, but more amazingly guys like me, fanatics, not just fans. I can tell them this, it isn't some fake sports idolatry. WE “Warner lovers” genuinely hope he and his family do well, when normally, for we rabid fans, that would be like hoping Rommel wouldn't lose favor in WWII..

                                That's why we knew along this deal would get done without much animosity, because Kurt Warner wouldn't sell his family's comfort now for a few million bucks. His agent no doubt talked him into making that trip to Ninerville, but maybe he just went to get info that would give him an edge against a division rival. He probably went as a favor to that friend and long time agent, Mark Bartelstein, who has been with Kurt from the start, since the grocery store almost.

                                The thing that makes this amazing is that as a Rams fan, I know this really makes the Cardinals a force in the division, which I did not foresee if Warner departed or retired, but I am still happy for him. I don't have to hope or not that he will fail, because it just isn't gonna happen. I hoped Ike Bruce would fail as a Niner, and I liked him too.

                                That's what is so magical about the whole incredible Warner story. It's one off, whether we like it or not, and whether ESPN knows it or not. I sensed it would be back in 2000, after Kurt had a number of books out about his story. After a group interview session in the locker room one day, I casually mentioned to...

                                There are times when covering an NFL team that even the biggest fan
                                might find to be more work than enjoyment. Dealing with professional athletes
                                is a real pain at times, and trying to give fans the true story when so many rumors have sent them into so many directions is even worse. While there are times that the words fly out of a writer’s mind onto the pages he is composing, there are others when sitting down and rehashing the facts to tell a tale is almost excruciating. If I am doing a column twenty years from now, I probably won’t have had to labor over a story as much as this one.

                                Oh, sure, nobody died, no beloved sports figure met his maker far too young on the day after Memorial Day, which is the toughest stuff to cover from a personal side; but in a lot of ways, it seems like something truly died for Ramsnation when the team released Kurt Warner. When the long predicted move was made official this past Wednesday however, there was no outcry from Rams fans, no wail of sorrow at a tragic event. Not surprisingly, Warner himself left town with the same class and good feelings that are his trademark.

                                Like a parent, spouse, or child who has seen a loved one slowly slip away due to illness, those of us who will never forget what #13 meant to a team and a city have little emotion left to give as the irreversible end finally came. They have gone through the same predictable emotions of anger, denial, bargaining, and depression, then a numb acceptance of our fate, as cancer victims, ever since Kurt Warner began showing he was human after all. Ironically, the most incredible and improbable feel good story in NFL history involved a man who embodies everything decent about the human animal, despite his immortal like play when at his best.

                                As the negative stories and feelings about Warner as the Rams quarterback appeared, they acted upon his legacy like tumors on bodily organs, some spreading and mutating to other areas. We may never know how the negative vibes played a part in what so quickly turned a two time MVP passer into a backup. If Warner shines with the Giants, another team needing the kind of miracle that Warner gave Rams fans and the world in 1999, maybe it will provide a bit of a clue.

                                I was at Warner’s last start, in the Meadowlands against those same Giants, and as painful as it was having to suffer with him on that day, and suffer the slings and arrows of Giants fans during and following the game, I feel blessed that I got to see as much as I could of Kurt Warner in person. It was that personal contact over the past six seasons that makes his inexplicable fall from grace so distressing.

                                In the NFL, everyone knows the salary cap, and other factors makes it nearly impossible to keep players for entire careers, something Rams fans have had to...

                                Warner got a noisy ovation from fans, many of them standing in appreciation for the quarterback who won two MVP awards and helped the franchise win its only Super Bowl in 2000.
                                "Not very many guys get to come back to an opposing stadium and receive a standing ovation, so I love the people here," Warner said.


                                At least we are getting love from someone....

                                Rabid's Rants on Warner
                                by txramsfan
                                I just read the Rabid's Rants this week, and do agree with him to a certain extent. 18 INT's for any QB is high, extremely high. However, certain circumstances have been the cause for some of these.

                                1. Warner's thumb. It still hasn't been right since he hurt it. The deep ball is MIA really this year, but I believe Martz is as close to Woody Hayes as Bill Clinton is to George W. Completely different individuals.

                                2. Martz's play calling. MM abandonded the run in early games this year way to quickly, i.e. NO and TB at home. Anytime you come out slinging 15 or so pass plays to start the game, conventional thinking on INT's is out the window.

                                3. Tipped passes. How many of these INT's have come from passes that the WR's have let go through their hands and right into the deep corners? At least 4 I can think of.

                                One thing noticeable recently about the change in Warner is MM's prodding for Warner to move a little more. I watched the Fox Sports Special on Warner and he moved quite a bit in the Arena League. He wasn't Flutie, but he wasn't Jim Hart either.

                                I think Martz is addressing the Warner situation because no one else was banging the drum for Warner. Everyone was talking Favre, K. Stewart, or Garcia, but Warner just kept winning. Shoot, he has directed the Rams to a 12-2 record and perfect on the road.


                                I think the INT's can be reduced by both Warner throwing the ball away when nothing is there instead of trying to thread the needle everytime. Also, we have seen an increase in the running game lately, causing D's to play us closer. Both Warner and Martz can be blamed for the INT's, but I don't think he wants to grab Warners facemask and shake it anytime soon.

                                Cardinals fans upset with me
                                by moklerman
                                Isn't it amazing how a statement can be made that is meant to be one thing and completely gets blown out of proportion.

                                I've frequented one of the Cardinals fan sites since Warner became a Cardinal. I prefer the fan sites because in general there is a lot less troll activity. So, I was very straightforward from the beginning and have restated my position many times that I migrated to their board because of Warner. I wasn't trying to pass myself off as a Cardinals fan or being unrealistic in my support of Warner.

                                Not much has changed since his days as a Ram. He still has a crappy, undisciplined line, a new OC/HC just about every year, a young QB to compete with for playing time and a mediocre(at best) franchise backing him up. All of his turnovers are magnified(justified in some cases, some not) and there is a very loud, vocal minority that blame him for the Cardinals' woes.

                                Like I said, nothing new there and no one on either side of the fence is going to change their mind about him any time soon. But, amongst all of this banter, someone felt compelled to talk down to me for being a fan of Warner. Now, I'll debate and argue his merits on the field 'til the cows come home. I enjoy it and it's just fun for me to analyze all the numbers, situations and circumstances surrounding the arguements about him and football in general. But talking down to me because I root for Warner? From a Cardinals fan?

                                I didn't want to get into a "you suck" "no, you suck" situation but I was insulted and felt compelled to point out that regardless of what Warner's doing now, a Cardinals fan hasn't the right to talk down to me for being a fan when they don't have anything comparable in terms of success. I stated it pretty much in those terms. I didn't say the franchise sucks or that it's fans suck or anything like that. At best, their team's success is on equal ground with other franchises and in general, they're looking up at everyone else.

                                I tried to point out that if a Patriots fan wants to talk smack and brag about having much more success than the Cardinals, that there's not really much to say to it and that it seems irrational to try and argue that the Cards(or many ohter teams) have as much bragging rights as the Patriots.

                                This example, of course, flew right over everyone's head and many were all hurt that I was calling them 2nd class fans(which I wasn't) and upset that I was telling them what they could or couldn't say, etc. I'm not flaunting Warner's past success on anyone either. His awards were a long time ago and don't represent what he's doing now. BUT, he's still got them under his belt. He's still a 2 time MVP, etc. He has reached and earned success that the Cardinals and it's players haven't.

                                It just seems ridiculous to me to think that you can talk smack to someone when you haven't anything to brag about. Ever....
