No. Warner was a member of the 1998 St. Louis Rams and a third stringer behind Tony Banks and Steve Bono. He was inactive for 14 of the 16 regular season games and got into only one game in the 1998 season, throwing 11 passes. Certainly, as far as playing time was concerned, he could have been considered a 'rookie' but since he was on the Rams 53 man roster for the entire 1998 season, he was considered a 2nd year player.
No. Kurt Warner had played professional football in the Arena League before he ever played a down in the National Football League. As a result, he would have been considered a first-year player instead of a rookie. He also was the third-string quarterback for the St. Louis Rams in 1998, the year before he guided the Rams to a Super Bowl championship. No rookie quarterback has ever started a Super Bowl contest.
