The maturity of Mike Martz to say "the only thing that hindered him was probably me" was seriously the coolest thing I've seen from a head coach in a while.

Every little kid has that one player who was their first favorite that got them into football. Kurt Warner was that for me

Kurt Warner has one of the best stories in NFL history. Loved watching him play.

An amazing man. A well deserved Hall of Famer

Walked right past him and his family at the Ohio State Vs Oregon National Championship in Arlington back in 2015. Was in complete shock, could not speak or move. Over the last several years before, and thanks to this incredible doc, I grew to become such a huge fan of Kurt and looked up to him. Ironically, I was about to wear my 1999 rams Kurt Warner jersey to the game, but told my brother I’d just wear something red since I was going for Ohio State. The laugh we had after Kurt walked past us was great. Next day at school I tweeted about the experience and said “next time”. Within 10 minutes Kurt replied saying “next time, you got it!”. Despite not meeting him initially, I’m really glad I was somehow able to communicate how much of a fan I was even if it was online. Thank you Kurt for making me the coolest guy in high school that day, for about 15 minutes.

I think people talk about the underdog story of Kurt simply getting to the NFL and the success he had right away when he finally had the chance. But I think it is also close to as impressive that after finally reaching his goal and the top of the league success he had over the first three seasons the way things played out in the years that followed. The traits he had that led to him reaching the goal despite how hopeless it genuinely appeared at every stage until he finally played and shocked everyone were just as vital in the years that followed the Cinderella years. To me it had to be nearly the same overall challenges emotionally and mentally to reach the impossible goal after so many years, succeed at a level nobody could’ve ever imagined happening, and then to have to push through the next five seasons or so having reached the heights he had, knowing how good he could be and what he could achieve and working through those years. I think it had to have really sucked to be MVP, play bad and lose the next year because of injury, and then rush things to be back the next year and have such a bad game that you lose the role for good so quickly. And then accepting a hot seat role to mentor Eli, losing your spot when you were playing well enough that you didn’t deserve to lose the spot and being a team guy that you refuse to let there be a QB controversy and mentor him the whole time. And then your next chance you get named the starter twice but quickly get yanked both years and deal with injury. And then the next season you don’t get the job but keep getting little chances here and there since he isn’t playing well and only when he gets injured do you finally have the job and this time play elite ball again. And even then they name the other guy starter before rhe season but you win the job over him and for the next two seasons after pushing through all the struggles and hot potato of being the starter play elite level ball again and return to your top level. A lot of people wooodnt have been able to get through the middle seasons to have his last three.

One of the best human beings to ever play, in addition to one of the best players. Incredible story.

He's the reason I started watching the sport and he remains, to this day, my all time favourite player.

Kurt Warner’s story is one of my favorites. The story on how he met his wife is heartwarming. But he was an amazing quarterback.

The 1999 season Warner had is the greatest single season any QB has ever had. Greatest Un drafted player in history

A great human being....first of all.

The 2008 Cardinals team was special to watch. I really wanted to see them win Super Bowl XLIII. It was, in my opinion, the best Super Bowl in the last 20 years.

My favorite player of all time!!!

If this guys story doesn't stir hope, courage, belief in you , then you are dead !!!

Probably the most classy quarterback ever. I wish the Cardinals had won that game. I don't get how ANYONE other than diehard Pittsburgh fans could have been rooting for the Steelers.

Kurt Warner is a genuine nice guy

Seems to be a truly incredible guy. He proved his worth time and again.

I think what most forgotten is how good of a person he was?

As a Rams fan i was rooting for him and i was very sad when the Cardinals lost. What a great person Kurt is. Cheers to you Kurt Warner

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE RAM. KURT WARNER

His abilities and gifts were uncanny to watch, cannot stop watching your film to this day Kurt. This man could take beating after beating and still wouldn’t give up when most others would.

Dick Vermiel is really one of the good guys. Kurt Warner is one of the good guys. Love me some Marshall Faulk. Great episode!

Kurt story can motivate anyone in any field. Or chapter in their life. It reminds me of the movie 🍿 rocky. We all can overcome the misfortune we have in this life. And at the make it the very reason we succeed. Kudos to Kurt especially for the step father he became to those children.!!

What an incredible story

You hear people talk about the intangibles, one of those, character, is as important to a quarterback as the ability to throw a ball or read a defense. This man defined character. If you can't respect him I can't imagine what matters to you.

Warner and sweet pea..the best humas to come in the NFL

i watched his movie and he is the roll model for all men and pro athletes. very impressive. I hope I can meet him one day.

I will go to my grave loving the play of Kurt Warner! I will also take to my grave a disdain for sean peyton and the new orleans saints.

The world needs more Kurt Warners in life

There were a few other Arena qb's I'd like to have seen given a chance. In that league, it's all about touch and reads. Kurt had a ton of reps in des moines that I think just sharpened his accuracy.

Never will forget 99. Or his story with his team's.

what a great guy above everything else......

I was in a hospital when Zachary Levi was talking about this role on CBN it was powerful

Him and that Rams squad was a MAJOR reason why I fell in love with football. The Steelers are my hometown team and I love em. Rams were my 1st love though. Still till this day Kurt, Marshal and Torry are some of my favorites of all time.

I'm a Super Die Hard Buffalo 🦬 Bills Fan but I Love ❤️ Kurt Warner , I have alot of respect for him. He taught me never to give up on anything , It doesn't matter how hard It Is , Never give up on anything that you do. A few years ago I saw that movie 🎥 about his life. , American Underdog and I have to say that movie 🎥 inspire me never to give on anything that I do. It was a Great movie 🎥 👍 and some of scenes made me tear 😢 up. God Bless you Kurt and your Beautiful family always 🙏❤️

Love his story. Respect to the Rams organization back then for giving him a chance.

Kurt Warner was arguably the most underrated player and one of the best stories of any player in the history of the NFL. He also the nicest guy I ever seen. I’m very glad that he played for the Rams (I’m a Raider fan but I also love the Rams because of Eric Dickerson) and also he won a championship there. I’m very glad that he is in the Hall of Fame.

He is the best person I've ever met in my life is absolutely the best person I've ever met. ❤️ Wow, watching this brought tears to my eyes. Your words perfectly capture the depth of emotion and admiration you feel for this incredible person. It's heartwarming to witness such genuine and profound connections in life. Wishing you both continued happiness and cherished moments together. 🌟💖

One of the toughest QBs to do it. I admired him so much for taking those hits and still winning. Some of those hits would kill a normal man. I will always have love for Kurt. He was and still is a great man.

I very much enjoyed watching KW play.

All along i was thinking that kurt was a finer human being . And i was right .

Kurt Warner is why I am a Cardinals fan. That 2008 season was a magical ride and I was hooked. People ask me why I cheer for a team that isn’t a popular team, I always say “two words - Kurt Warner”.

Seems like a guy who is impossible not to like, so down to earth. legend.

I saw Warner play at veterans memorial stadium as barnstormer..i never seen a ball fly that high...i was at top of stadium..best iowa player ever

Not only my favorite QB, but my favorite player, and Rams aren't my team.

I love Marshall Faulk and Kurt Warner. They are the dorkiest dudes but straight killers.

Kurt Warner American Underdog amazing!! 🫡🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💪🏼💪🏼

Outstanding story about a truly outstanding human being.

Always liked kurt

He is a real true feel good story, they should make a movie about him. Wait they did make a movie “ American Underdog” he earn it and well deserve but it cost my favorite team from going to Super Bowl.

The scene of Martz chewing Warner out for the center not hiking the ball properly was a cool scene in the movie they did of Warner. Didn’t know that really happened. Seems like an extremely good human being and man.

When I heard him declare who his “Lord and Savior” was after winning the Super Bowl I was an avowed atheist but now, as a genuine Born -Again follower of my “Lord and Savior” I completely understand why he said what he said and it’s a shame that this story didn’t say anything about it.

He had a great run.

The story where he ran out of gas in a Blizzard with his family in their Chevy Blazer(GMC Jimmy same platform) I truly believe was the turning point of what was to come for Kurt. No wonder he was able to take such abuse from Coach Martz.

I seen Kurt Warner at the Mayo Clinic, He was walking through the main entrance and I was going to ask him for a picture. He gave me the stair and i chicken out… true story

The best comeback against the nfl

We should all aspire to be the kind of man Kurt Warner is.

Wonderful. Thanks. Great vid.

Whenever you find yourself facing a tough decision just ask yourself, what would Kurt Warner do?

Just… Awesome!!!😎👍👊🙏

We now know the Patriots had video of the Rams gameplan. Thats why the Pats started strong and rams came back when they adjusted to what the Pats had seen on video.

Lotta Respec t to Kurt Warner

Kurt to Isaac Bruce for 73 yards, legend!

New England but one of the all time greats.

I dated a girl that was JUST LIKE his wife. I broke up with her after the second ultimatum. Using death of family members as a leverage point for marriage is on a whole new level of manipulation.

Great guy and QB, glad I was able to watched him played.

Love this show and been dyin to see this episode

kurt warner played uni panthers team and he did walked by her house and walk 10 miles bradas house and that about kurt warner

What an inspiration, as a person and professional

Kurt Warner is one of my favorite persons for obvious reasons. To see the Saints intentionally injure him is a crime that should be punishable with years of jail time. One of the Saints defensive coaches put out a reward of money to players to injure the key players of opposing teams! Penitentiary time!

Hey Mariucci, he wasn't ready because of YOU didn't prepare him. You were wrong about Brady too.

My best memories with my father are around The Rams & The greatest show on turf years

its beautiful 🙌 Truly a blessed soul 💖 God bless you ❤

Amazing story about an amazing player!

Such a great story

When you are down on your luck, or have a bad day, think about Kurt Warner! Where there is hope, there is a way.

This 49er fan admits that for one season, he was also a Rams fan.

Always loved Kirk Warner!

Kurt is a honorable man

Dick Vermeil was a Godsend for Warner. He truly believed in Kurt and rest is history !

What a great man

this movie about him true story of kurt warner same like a football life

Steve maricoochi was a hater KW became a champion 🏆

What a man thank you kurt

kurt warner story

That's 100% when spygate started.😮😮😮😮😢😢 NE knew every play. Watch the Super Bowl again. St.Louis vs. NE.

Watched the movie. i loved it ❤️❤️

Mike Martz seems like a guy who accepts he made mistakes and moves on. Same with Kurt… these people always live good lives… It all turned out pretty great for Kurt…I think God rewards people like that with second chances. People with good character always seem to come out on top

A mountain of a man full of class ..

Hall of Famer,

I'm not crying, you're crying....

If you look up the definition of selflessness, his picture is there.

Kurt Warner for President

Great documentary.

kurt warner is american underdog he is and man is right to kurt warner i known about him lord with kurt warner

To be fair, too, the Cardinals got ROBBED by the refs in that super bowl. THEY EARNED THAT WIN.... and had it stolen from them.

My top two sports heroes of all time -Stan Musial - Kurt Warner It's hard to find two sports stars who are better men than them IM PROUD to have them as my sports heroes!!!! I consider myself very very fortunate that I was in St Louis when Kurt's opportunity came around There were games in 99, like vs Cincinnati, during which I laughed out loud at the plays being made WOW WHAT A YEAR, WHAT A TEAM, WHAT A PLAYER, WHAT A MAN altho mariucci came around to be a Warner fan, HE WAS WRONG

Life becomes a blur and here we are. Make today count

4:28 one of my favorite Kurt Warner anecdotes

Kurt Warner is a top 10 qb ever he took 2 of the worst franchises ever to Super bowls and damn near went 3-0.
