Jeff Fisher sat him for two years, then put him in charge of his run-oriented offense. McNair followed suit, going from splashy stat-racking uber-slinger to gutty, win-by-grit leader. Few could have made that transition and many quarterbacks with better pedigrees failed in McNair's wake. The Rams/Titans Super Bowl is still my favorite. The late 90s/early 00s Rams teams were fascinating to watch, particularly with emotional Dick Vermeil at the helm. Watching underdog hero Kurt Warner duel with McNair was magnificent. The last two minutes of that game are still the greatest of any Super Bowl. Warner airing it deep, barely avoiding a charging Jevon Kearse, and somehow finding Issac Bruce screeching down the sideline. But McNair fired back, with Eddie George by his side. Fittingly, the game was decided by one second and one yard. As wiser man than I once said, there was no losers that day - there were the victors and the vanquished.
