I think you have to give more credit to Warner for the Ram's success. He had a great receiving corps, but his passes looked so sharp. He was throwing 30 yard bombs with incredible zip and accuracy. I think he made it look too easy.

What happened in STL from '99-01 was a whole lot more than Kurt Warner. This guy was a mediocre QB who found himself at the helm of the most talented group of players ever to start on the same team. Not to mention that Dick V was calling the shots then (at least in 99). The whole thing was just an unbelievable combination of talent and skill that isn't likely to be seen again anytime soon in this age of salary caps and free agency.
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't that Kurt was that bad of a quarterback, its jus that the Rams as a whole were that good.
While I agree the Rams were loaded, Warner was on the money EVERY TIME. He had one of the quickest releases I've ever seen, EVERY ball he threw was accurate. He was NOT a mediocre QB. He was every bit as important to that Rams team as Isaac Bruce or Marshall Faulk was. They have not achieved the same level of success since Warner left.
Oakland maybe. But Chicago and Miami both have horrible offensive lines, I'm not sure how he'd fare in either situation. Miami has the receivers to be good, and if they can address that O-Line issue in the off-season, maybe it would work there.
