In 1998, the St. Louis Rams brought in a very promising prospect from the Arena Football League named Kurt Warner. His chances of starting were very low, especially whenqQuarterback Trent Green came in from Washington.
But then, on that faithful day, he went down, and Kurt Warner took control of the "Greatest Show on Turf." He was considered the best quarterback in the NFL for the next four years, until he got injured in the 2002 season, right after the Rams' Super Bowl loss in 2001, and it seems now that after a four-year skip, he seems to be back in Pro Bowl status.

After a very tough quarterback competition between him and first-round pick from the 2006 season, Matt Leinart, he has led the Cardinals to a 6-3 record and have the NFC West pretty much clinched, being the first team in many years to win it other then the currently struggling Seattle Seahawks.
Nine games into the season he has 2,760 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, and a mere six interceptions, giving him a 106.4 rating, which is very close to the 109.2 rating that led him and the Rams to Super Bowl glory.
The NFC is currently being dominated by the New York Giants, but the Arizona Cardinals currently have the No. 1 ranked offence in the NFL. Besides the fact that the Rams in 1999 started off 6-0 before finishing off 13-3, the 6-3 Cardinals seem to be high favorites to play the Giants in the NFC Championship game.
At the rate he is going, Kurt is on his way to tying Brett Favre with being named League MVP three times in his career.
