Kurt Warner helped deliver the Rams their most recent Super Bowl while the team was still in St. Louis. He was a cog in turning the offense into the “Greatest Show on Turf,” teaming with Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt and Marshall Faulk on offense.
As good as he was with the Rams for those three years as the starting quarterback, he identifies himself more as a member of the Cardinals. He led Arizona to Super Bowl XLIII and was a Pro Bowler in 2008, playing at a very high level late in his career.
He was asked by Dan Patrick this week whether he sees himself as more of a Cardinal or Ram, and his reasoning for picking the Cardinals makes sense.

“I would probably say a Cardinal. As strange as that is with as much success and maybe the best years of my career being with the Rams, but I think a lot of it has to do with just where I ended,” he said. “The fact that I ended with the Cardinals, I’m still more connected with the team and the front office and stuff there. I still live in Arizona. Hard to say because I love both organizations and both of them were about equal for my career. I would probably say a little bit more with the Cardinals.”
Warner is a Hall of Famer, but he likely wouldn’t have made it to Canton if not for his Super Bowl with the Rams. Considering he lives in Arizona and still has ties to the Cardinals, though, it’s easy to understand why he associates himself with the last team he played for.
With the Rams, he threw 102 touchdown passes and only 65 interceptions, going 35-15 in 50 games as the starter.
