O.K.. lets look at teams with good QB's last year that didn't make the superbowl... hmmmm the Vikings maybe? No offense Steve... but look at what the Vikings did the season they went 15-1.. they had an excellent QB with Randall Cunningham and Brad Johnson.. they had Moss, Carter, and Robert Smith at running back.. along with Leroy Hoard...their defense was one of the best in the league... they set a record for most points scored in a season by a team...Don't forget Randy Moss... Jake Reed... Ummm and Chris Carter.. (what is it Chris Carter does again Steve?? I seemed to have forgot) Oh and their tight end was good too... so based on all of that why didn't they go to the super bowl and kick the sh*t out of the Bronco's, whom Minnesota would have killed, due to the fact that they would not have been able to handle Moss and Carter and Reed.... now, you tell me that one man had something to do with their success in the regular season and I will never talk football to you ever again... basically I never will after reading what you have wrote so far... sure, one man can affect a team... but one man can't win each game.. Kurt Warner can't go out and block for himself, throw passes to himself for TD's or rush for TD's... nor can he go out on the field and stop the other team from scoring by playing defense by himself... he can't coach the whole team, call defensive plays and offensive plays.. coach all the players, kick the PAT's and the field goals.. punt and return punts.. kick off or return kick off's.... so one man doesn't make a difference like all those other players do... he ran the offense well, and performed outstanding... he did a great job and deserved the MVP... but he wasn't the sole reason for all the success of the Rams last year... what about Dick Vermeil? What about the head coach who made the descision to play him? forgot about him eh? Football is not a 1 man sport.... when players get inducted into the hall of fame, they don't say I was the main difference... if it wasn't for me, my team wouldn't have won the Super Bowl that year... they don't say things like that, because football is a team sport... Joe Montana and John Elway and Otto Graham couldn't have won those titles with out a team behind them or without other good players to compliment their abilities... Sure the QB is the leader... but he is not the main difference behind the whole team... the whole team is... they are the ones doing the work to... you seem to keep overlooking it... I bet if you took the Rams from last year against the 15-1 Vikings from the year before, it would be a great game, but I think the Vikings would win... I'm sure Steve would agree... but of course you wouldn't... but we shall see what the Rams do this year.. can they live up to the hype... Warner will probably get hurt during this season... watch... it will probably happen.. and then your preacious Rams will fall... I'm not saying they were a fluke... they had a great team last year... but under new coaching, can they perform just as well... who knows... we shall see...

PEACE!
