There's no doubt that Kurt Warner is one of the greatest feel-good stories in the history of the NFL...to go from bagging groceries to Super and NFL MVP is truly amazing!
With a story-book career, many think Warner is a lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He's a 2-time NFL MVP (1999 & 2001), Super Bowl XXXIV MVP and the conductor of the "Greatest Show on Turf"...not to mention the numerous passing records he possesses.
But (and you knew this was coming)...what separates Warner from the other great QBs? One thing...inconsistency. Unlike the other greats, Elway, Manning, Marino, Brady, etc., when Warner is bad, he is really bad! If you don't believe me, just ask the St. Louis Rams. Take last Sunday's game vs. the Colts for example...Warner vs. Manning. What happened...Peyton Manning controlled his team, made great decisions and showed the poise and composure of an elite QB. Warner, on the other hand, was a complete debacle...missing open receivers (overthrew wide-open Fitzgerald for TD), poor decision-making (the horrible interception prior to the half), the 28-yard sack and the overall inability to keep his team under control. Like me, many of you were wondering when Matt Leinhart was coming into the game.
This is exactly why Kurt Warner should not be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame...because for as incredible as he can be, he is often equally as bad. His untempered play ran him out of the St. Louis and New York and will end his career in Arizona. Don't get me wrong, Warner has had a great career, but it's the inconsistency that leaves him short of greatness. Let's not forget...it's greatness and only the best that belong in the HOF.

He is a turnover machine.
ReplyDeletehas a losing record in Arizona which is worse than Leinart & Mccown's winning%. Would be nothing more than mediocre at best without Fitz/Boldin/Breaston or Holt/Bruce/Proehel for that matter.
He's been cut by 3 different franchises and is on his 4th. He's been benched by three of them including the current team that is wasting time with Warner under center and wasn't good enough to make the team on the first.
He's a hypocrite and a liar, see last year's off season for perfect examples of each.
Rodney Harrison and his cheap shot to Trent Green's knees gave the world Warner and his butch wife.
Thanks Roidney. Go take some more HGH.
Oh and his ignorant fan base, aka the Warnerphiles, are the worst fans in football. They don't care about a W. They only want the overrated one to throw for 300.
