History

Historical Context

In 1999 the St. Louis Rams, thrust into the season by Trent Green’s preseason injury, installed undrafted quarterback Kurt Warner, who threw for 4,353 yards and 41 touchdowns, leading the team to a 13-3 record and a Super Bowl XXXIV win. That sudden quarterback-driven turnaround is echoed today as the Jacksonville Jaguars consider trading rookie Zach Wilson, a move that could spark a similar rapid rise.
