Couldn't have gone to the Super Bowl without...

[CodeMonkey]

You know I first wanted to push Kurt Warner...no brainer.

Then I got to thinking... Warner was fantastic and all, superman even, but so were those other guys on that list. Then I'm thinking well who was the next man up behind Kurt Warner and that guy was Trent Green right. He was pretty good and if if not for injury you got a gotta wonder what would have happened with him. I guess what I'm saying is not that he's anywhere nearly as good as Warner. He's not clearly. Warner is Superman. It's that I'm talking about replacement value of the player at the position. In that light he's probably the most replaceable of all of the guys on this list.

That all said, I still give it to Warner, you could add other names to the honorable list too, but all these guys coming together and vermeil and that d and it was just kind of a lightening in a bottle thing. Man those were some good good memories weren't they.

See Dick run. Why did Dick run? Run run run.

Not to be an a$$, but IMO Rodney Harrison. I think when Trent went down, the team said "f*ck it... Nothing is going to stop us." Gotta' Go To Work! Gotta' Go To Work! Gotta' Go To Work!

Trent Green put up great numbers when Warner went down in 2000. I think he would have been just fine in that offense. But Faulk is what made the GSOT possible.

But Trent Green DID go down.

 

[TommerK]

Gotta go with Faulk. Not only was he a double threat, but he was as smart a football player, as you're ever going to find!!!!

We all know that it's a team game but Warner was "the straw that stirs the drink."

 

[jrry32]

Does Warner do as well without Bruce out there?

No. But having to start Hostetler or Justin would have been a disaster imo.

HOW DARE YOU DENIGRATE THE NAME OF PAUL JUSTIN!!!!

HOW DARE YOU DENIGRATE THE NAME OF PAUL JUSTIN!!!!

I'M STILL WAITING FOR HIS LAST NAME!

 

[NukeRam]

I voted Kurt but that's cuz there was no "all of the above."

Where's the Mike Jones option at X

Where's the Mike Jones option at X

I could have listed a bunch of other players, but I wanted to keep it short. London Fletcher came to mind too.
Jones certainly helped the Rams *win* a Super Bowl, but I was more curious about who helped to get them there the most.

Mike Martz

Damn! Toughest poll I ever took. What a Team!!

Gotta go Marshal, but they're all worthy.

I agree.
I went Faulk sort of by default. Such a key veteran guy who made everyone better and gave a QB who was green to the NFL a great security blanket.
Warner would be my next choice.
Green would have been good but it is easy to forget how different the game was then. Re watching those game most of the hits QBs took back then would be penalties today. The rules have conspired to turn the passing game into a video game. But when Warner got to 40 TDs it was just him and Marino in that club. With good reason. Warner was fearless in the pocket. Standing tall to deliver the ball on time seeing a pass rusher and knowing he was going to get clobbered....no throw away, no running backward, taking the hit to deliver the ball.
Freaking stud.
Five HOF players on that O.
Very special.

I don't think it's any question it's Faulk. I honestly don't see how anyone could pick otherwise. The man ran over a thousand and caught more than most WR . There's a reason he was the team MVP. Warner is a fine QB, but we went 12-4 and into the playoffs with Bulger throwing to Bruce and with Pace blocking. It was Faulk at his prime that made the difference.

 

[Cullen Bryant]

It was the combination of all those guys that made the Rams so special and although Warner always says Faulk was the key to the GSOT, I've always thought that a great qb is the single biggest difference maker so I voted KW.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Wanted to vote Marshall, but it's Warner.

 

[shaunpinney]

I just guess that was a damn good team but I've gone for Bruce, I just think he took the pressure off Warner - he's one heck of a comfort blanket for a fresh QB

 

[CGI_Ram]

It came down to Warner and Faulk for me.

I voted Faulk.

Could have just as easily voted Warner.

 

[PrometheusFaulk]

Faulk's talents were so unique and such a good fit with what they were doing. 28 was the engine.

It came down to Warner and Faulk for me.

I voted Faulk.

Could have just as easily voted Warner.

That was pretty much my exact thoughts as well
