EARTH CITY, Mo. -- Former St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner made the rounds at radio row at the Super Bowl earlier this week and discussed several topics.

Warner, of course, is a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame and will find out Saturday night whether he's going to be enshrined this year. Here in St. Louis, there's more concern over the future of the team Warner once led to victory in Super Bowl XXXIV.

The Rams are now officially year-to-year on their lease at the Edward Jones Dome and the train is moving fast down the tracks on owner Stan Kroenke's stadium plan in Los Angeles. St. Louis is attempting to make an effort to keep the Rams with a stadium plan of its own, but there are significant hurdles -- especially getting Kroenke to agree to pay for a big chunk of it -- that exist.

Asked about the future of the team in the city in which he first made his name, Warner made it clear that he would like to see the Rams remain in St. Louis.

"I'm a St. Louis guy, so I want the Rams to stay there in St. Louis," Warner told reporters. "That's where my heart is and I'll always think of the Rams as a part of St. Louis. But I hear the rumors and I understand the logic of the natural fit with the Rams back in L.A. But I'm a St. Louis guy, so my hope is that they stay there."

It shouldn't be surprising that Warner would want the team to stay where it was when he played for the organization. Others, such as Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt, have expressed similar sentiments. But it's also worth recognizing that there are plenty of former Los Angeles Rams, including Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson, who have made it clear they'd like to see the Rams return to the place of their own glory.

Much like the fans on both sides of this scenario, the former players have their stances on where they'd like to see the team play in the future. It's a completely understandable viewpoint from all angles.

But the reality remains that it's Kroenke who will ultimately make the call.
