How the hell did Kurt Warner win MVP over Michael Strahan/Brian Urlacher in 2001?

[Street Knowledge]

I still don’t know how that bears team won 13 games

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Qb or defensive player

 

[10bandz]

[BonafideDefacto]

The system. I'm a 9er breh....Greatest Show on Turf had nikkaz running wide the fukk open. Warner still a beast but not a great IMO.

Unbeaten at home in the postseason and 3 of the 5 highest yardage totals in super bowl history with 3 go ahead or game tying drives in the final 3 minutes of the game too. Put some respect on his name & game

Nah youre minimizing him. Kurt Warner regularly thread the needle and made incredible throws. If it was all the system, then why was there such a huge dropoff from Warner to.Bulger in personal performance and team success??

Terrible thread

The 2001 Rams scored 503 points that season.
503 points now isn't impressive. .

503 points would've leed thhe league in scoring last year

the premise of the thread has less to do with warner and is more about the need for defensive players to be eligible

to me someone like charles woodson deserves an mvp

nikkas in here talking about Warner like that muthafukka wasn't throwing footballs through keyholes.

Dudes make statements and judgements when they obviously werent even watching like that. Kurt was supposedly somehow was throwing to wide open WRs, yet somehow when he wasnt prime anymore, the Greatest Show on Turf ceased to exist.

If that was the intent then this was a terrible example. That season Warner almost caught Marino’s 5k season, practically the single greatest QB achievement at the time. shyt he probably could have gotten it if they kept passing in some of those blow out games. Then on top of that he did all that while completing damn near 70% of his passes.

In 01 nobody was even close to fukking shyt up like that. Peyton and Favre weren’t putting up numbers on that level back then. shyt was unheard of
