Rodney Dangerfield always said, "I get no respect."
Well, in the NFL one guy stands out who gets no respect, and that is Kurt Warner.
I was talking to my friends the other day and asked them to compare Joe Namath's stats to Warner's, in order to tell me why Namath is even in the Hall of Fame.
Namath threw for 27,663 yards and Warner is at 25,480 while he spent far less time behind the center in his 11 years than Namath did.
Interceptions: Namath with 220, Warner with 102.
Touchdown passes: Namath with 173, Warner with 162.
Quarterback Rating: Namath at 65.5, Warner at 93.7.
Completions: Namath with 1,886 in 3,762 attempts. Warner with 2,053 in 3,142 attempts.
Namath did only have 33 fumbles, while Warner has 85 in his career.
So what makes a greater QB?
Super Bowls: Namath is 1-0 and Warner is 1-1, but everyone knows the Pats were caught cheating anyway. I remember saying during the Super Bowl in 2001 that it was like the Pats knew our plays. Hmmmm?
Warner also has three perfect games. Only Peyton Manning matches that.
The 2008 Warner has a passer rating of 100.2, which is fifth in the NFL. His 1,472 yards is second to only Denver's Jay Cutler before Monday's game. Warner is also one of only five quarterbacks with at least 10 touchdown passes.
Even after 11 solid NFL seasons, it seems Warner just doesn't get any respect.

I will also add 2 time MVP Warner has not been the starter in all his 11 years and still has the stats to be Hall of Fame player .
I think Hall of Fame is too much about popularity first then stats second ,very sad so many players who should be in are not.Time will only tell if Warner is allowed in as he should be .

Warner will have a chance to be MVP this year if he continues at this pace, and Brees slows down just a bit. A 3 time league MVP would be a shoo in for Hall of Fame.

Yes I agree if he just take the Cards to the payoffs it would only be their second time in payoffs.
If they won one payoff game it would be like winning the lottery to that team.

The Cards handle the Cowboy and they went home with punter out and the QB possible out to.
Sadly the sports media just kept talking about something wrong with Dallas?
What maybe it's something right with the Cardinals for once.
This is just another piece of evidence that sport media cannot focus on the whole NFL
they always talk about the same old same old teams and players.
Inside the NFL and ESPN and the NFL network FOX sport all must read for the same script ...
It's like listen to the Liberal media talk about Obama every sound bite is the same.

Go vote now for warner for pro bowl http://www.nfl.com/probowl/ballot
Well this week the Rams killed th Cowboys and all the sports media talked about
how much the Rams have improved ? What wasn't the Cardinals who destroyed
Cowboys last week but knock out of QB and Punter ...
The week they played the Bills They Knock out the QB Edwards ....
So my new name for Cardinals Defense is the Hit Squad . I can hear the NFL screaming about
fining me for that term LOL ... The NFL should just go to flag footbal since every player should be afraid to make a hit or tackle for fear of fines. Where the hell is the players union to stand up for this stupid fines. Wilson fined for git on Edwards (no Flag) said he drove him into the ground ,maybe gravity had something to do with the ground and edwards ???

Kurt's on pace for 4,555 yds, 32 td's vs 13 picks. If he keeps up with his 102.8 rating and 70.0 comp%, I say he has a real good shot at MVP. Especially if the "lowly" Cardinals make the playoffs.
I was a huge Marshall Faulk fan back in the day, and remember watching Kurt during the "Greatest Show on Turf" days. He seems to have found that magic again.
Kurt will most likely not be a first ballot HOFer. One day though, when his career is a series of highlights on a series of NFL Films videos, people will realize he deserves to be there.
When that day comes, I'll beam a smile.
From bagging groceries to MVP. I truly believe he is the NFL's greatest Cinderella story.

A Cardinals win over the Panthers would be history record at 5-2, What cardinals three games above .500 ?? Is this possible ? May not sound like that much to you but, for this lowly losing franchise it sure would be.History show only twice since the team ran away from St. Louis that they had a record of 3 games over the .500 mark.Their first year of 1988 in their new home, they were able to gain a record to 7-4 with a win over the New York Giants at their home Stadium .While this victory placed the Cardinals in a dead heat with Giants question remains,can they do it again?
The hard part is the east coast trip again,like they had with Jets game.I believe no west coast team traveling to east has won a game this years.
So it a tought road to hoe this sunday.

Oh my God ! When will the NFL officials get fines for bad calls ?? Did you see the calls in this game ?
They call a fumble of Warner when uf arm was going forward and his own player catch the ball in middle air Fumble ???
Worst call of any game the Panthers Smith catches the ball runs down the side line foot goes out of bounds on the Cardinals sideline,The whole Cardinals side line see it the player on the field stopped because he went out of bounds. Foot on the line is out of bounds !!!!!!!
Fine NFL officials and they will get more calls right !!!

Wow! what a win over the rams this week.Home sweet home for kurt warner wouldn't you say !
Warner with his 342 yards placed him in second to most 300 yard games for active players.
Bret Farve for his 19 years only has 58 and Warner has 50 300 yard games.
He also moved closed to knocking off Brees as top quarterback in yards 2,563 and Warner with
2,431 yards.
Rams are easy win for Cardinals ,they still need a running back .

Cannot wait until warner faces the ass of a coach ny giants tom coughlin.Who cut him with a 5-3 record and said he should have never started him.Eli only won one game that year when Warner could have take them much farther.
Anyway back to Cardinals ...
The problem with the Cardinals is the play calling,in the last few week stupid plays have been call onside kick when you are up by 7.
Then not going for the 3 points, then running the ball 4 times on the goal.
This is where James should have least been used ,a least a Warner fade pass....
Also don't understand why they don't place 2 in the back field hightower and james
would leave the defense guessing on who would run.Switch off the player to carry and have one blocking.Offense also should use the play action pass more.
Next Warner needs to be allowed to roll out against the defense pressure,yes he not fast but the rare times he does it works well.
The defense big hole is the screen pass then just cannot comprehend this play.
Next the long ball has been another killer for them ...

Kurt Warner leads the Cardinals to a 6-3 record with a masterful performance on MNF.
Really fact is I have been saying this about warner since 1999 .Now you say so what everyone said great things about him then,well I never stop saying these things.
45% of warner games are 300 yard games a NFL record
If Warner win MVP this year ties Farve (3 MVP) who been in the league 8 years longer.
The crowd after the game chanting MVP MVP MVP
Simply a great game for Monday Night Football , wow is all I can say.
I have few complains about the call ,how can you go back and review a call that was before a play already run ???

seahawks 20 vs cardinals 26
Another game where NFL officials cannot tell the difference between fumble and forward motion ...
This team Cardinal cannot be successful against the next to teams Gianst sunday and Thanksgivings day Eagles.That's right they cannot be success,unless the defense improves.
Yes the defense made some huge plays sunday but they also let the seahawk get back in the game.
The cardinal defense is like a donut they have a hole to pass threw.
So it will be a very hard road to hoe these next 2 games. Giants are 9 - 1 not some 2 - 7 team.
I also think the run game for cardinals is a huge problem.Also coach Whisenhunt again making stupid calls.I know you have to run the ball but he does it when he should pass .Cardinals failed to score because Whisenhunt ran the ball 3 times in the red zone ?
Doesn't Whisenhunt give Warner pass option ?

Fact is if these cardinals had a running back like New York has it would be Rams 1999 all over again. The awesome work of Kurt Warner this year is a credit to his quartback talents . That said he cannot do it all and that's why problem arise in the game. To be a great team the Cardinals need balance to the offense like the Rams had in 1999. The would be for sure to go to the big show Super Bowl this year... Oh ! to have a running back.Because Hightower is to small and Whisenhunt doesn't seem to want to use Edgerrin James . Whisenhunt go back to Colts game film when Edgerrin James ran the ball there. http://www.bestcardgame.com

Cardinals are the lions without Warner as QB ,If they can pick up a RB next year and fill the hole in the defense I will be betting vegas this team chances again to make the playoffs.
Next it should be Kurt Warner 2008 MVP !!!
Warner has taken the Cardinal some place this team rarely ever goes to the playoffs.Warner has had zero running game to help Cardinals win the season and division.
Warner has 4583 yards ,6 - 300 games in a roll, threw his 3rd perfect game this year nfl records.
This quarterback clearly has provide more value to bring Cardinals a winning season then Manning has to the Colts.Let the number be bench mark to who is MYP.

Cardinals 2008 season facts: First time team in history Cardinals have won every game against division team perfect 6 - 0 ...
First time Cardinals history since 1947 they host a payoff game
Only 4th time Cardinals history they have even been to a playoff .
This Saturday will tell if they finally win a a playoff.
It all comes down to players catching the ball and running the right routes.
Warner only had 14 int this year and most were due to wrong routes run .
They also had zero running game until last game with James allow to run again.
So with zero running game in 15 games Warner has had to be everything
to get the team wins...
Hey! Coach please use your brain don't start out like you did against Pats and run,run,run !!!
It's the Warner arm that brung ya !!!

Has I sit here it's Dec. 31st 2008 and I hear all this talk for Manning as MVP.
The sport media has lost it's mind .The MVP is about what player did the most to
allow his team to win.Fact are the Cardinals have no offense without Kurt Warner.
The Colts have a complete offensive package in which Manning has a part,but in no way
is he the only reason the Colts have won.
Cardinals by history are a aweful team and the fact Warner threw for 4583 yards,had 6 - 300 yard games in a roll which ties the NFL record .Warner also in 2008 had his third perfect game another
tied nfl record.Warner also had 30 tds a cardinal record.
Come people look at the point scores by the Cardinals,Warner 30 touchdowns 4583 yards
Now look at the points scored by the Colts, Manning 27 touchdowns 4000 yards.
Cardinals in the playoff alone is a miracle worth noting.
Again which quarterback had better stats this 2008 year, clearly it is Kurt Warner.

NFL discrimination against Kurt Warner because he is a chrisitian .In truth Kurt Warner is best person for the NFL to shine a light on as example of NFL best . The evidence of NFL discrimination against Warner because he a christian is Peyton manning winning the 2008 NFL MVP .Fact is Peyton manning has only 6th rated stats with Warner as Number 2 Stats .There are 5 other Quarterback had better season stats then Manning.
Yet Kurt Warner stats with all around the best in the NFL for 2008.
Second evidence of NFL discrimination against Warner because he a christian.He is known for being the
best example of a helpful teammate always giving the extra effert on the team.But does the NFL use him in any way to offset the bad apples in the NFL. Answer no never.
NFL MVP Is a scam and purely a popularity contest and NFL discrimination !!!
Look at how other sports do MVP like MLB who won the MVP 2008 in baseball ? Answer
the guy with best stats Pujols won 2008 .The St. Louis Cardinals were not even a good team.
But the NFL MVP is nothing to do with stats it's about popularity and NFL discrimination!

People that look at stats objectively and don’t react to the bone they have to pick with him would look at Warner’s stats and (again, if they were honest with themselves) say ‘wow, this guy is incredible. HOF for sure’. For some reason some people have a problem with Warner on a personal level that don’t want to grant him the credit that is due. I’ve watched him long enough to see how so many of his passes are so perfectly thrown that his receivers don’t even break stride when catching the ball, and thus gain many add’l yards after the catch. I’ve seen many passes completed because he actually was strong enough to get the ball off while a lineman was hanging on him. I’ve seen him with his quick releases make completions that might have been interceptions. No, Warner doesn’t need your approval, or even the approval of the HOF voters. In the mind of those that count (which includes those that see him for what he is on the football field), he is top notch. I’d love to hand the football to some of you who critique him unfairly, throw you behind a line of 300+ lb. linemen chasing after you with intent to harm and see if you can even throw the ball with going into a deep girly whine. I could picture you curling up in a little ball and cry out for mercy. Meanwhile, Warner is hitting someone perfectly in stride for another TD that goes selectively ignored.

It's amazing how much he actually has accomplished. Honestly, if he always came across as a smug, self-centered person, or even along the lines of a Bret Favre, he would be well-received from all circles. He had enough character to not 'hide' his faith, instead speaking up according to what he believed was the loving, sharing and right thing to do. If people looked at his accomplishments on the field alone, there would be not problem. Thus the real issue is in the weakness of the 'hearer'. For example, I can watch T.O. or Randy Moss, both of whom I cannot stand on a personal level and admit they are great talents and/or HOF material, based on my objective assessment of their FOOTBALL accomplishments. These people that cannot look at Warner objectively, well that's their character flaw. The irony is that they will prefer a punk in most cases over a a guy who is obviously an upstanding citizen without criminal tendencies. What a world we live in, huh?

You can even see this in game coverage.It's always someone else who get the credit
rarely do they give Warner the Credit for the play or win. I also noticed if Warner
has a fumble or a Interception they bring up how he has had a problems with this.
And then they really slam him.
Always making more of his mistakes then any other Quarterback ,even know his
Interception stats are Average for any other NFL Quarterback and same with fumbles.

Hey Cardinal Coach Ken Wizenhunt you were slow to use James, so now it's time to get The Pope back in the line up.
At 6-8 Leonard Pope should be playing to allow Warner to throw those up passes
way from all the shorter defensive players on Panthers.
I also believe Cardinal TE Leonard Pope could play WR position and what a great idea
to mix up the Panthers Defense with Pope running WR route since WR Anquan Boldin
is hurt.

Kurt Warner v. the Chosen One
Just the Football Facts !!!
Kurt Warner did more to lift the Cardinals, failures in the history of the franchise to their first Super Bowl on Sunday.
He lifted himself past the holy elected one, Peyton Manning, in a place somewhere behind Tom Brady in the list of the best quarters of the NFL today.
His performance against Philadelphia in the game was Kurt Warner NFC title game classic, the kind that we have rarely seen outside of the envelope. The Eagles entered the game as the NFC in Arizona, one of the best defenses in the league, which ranked fourth markers (289 points allowed) and fifth in passer rating defense (72.9) .
It does not matter.
Warner torched the stingy as if he was a Protestant in a game during the Spanish Inquisition, completing 21 of 28 passes (75.0%) for 279 yards, 9.96 YPA, 4 TD, 0 INT and a rating of 145 7 pass.
It is a game almost perfect statistics. In fact, during the game, Warner shot past Joe Montana and the second in the postseason all-time passer rating list: Warner now has a postseason passer rating of 97.3, Montana, 95.6. Only the great Bart Starr was better in the playoffs (104.8).
This does not mean Warner is the best quarter in Montana. He did not. Montana has become more and more games was almost perfect in the four Super Bowl victories. But it does tell us that actions Warner unusual about your NFL career 11 years have been nothing less than historical.
It also tells us that Warner is better than One.
The similarities
There are a surprising number of similarities between Warner and Manning.
They joined the NFL in 1998. The two spent most of his career by playing in domes, giving them many opportunities to cook until the fat, juicy statistics. And both are often surrounded by a talented offensive. Hell, who both played with Marshall Faulk and Edgerrin James.
The similarities are obvious in the cold, hard football facts, including:
Manning, the NFL is the second in history, with a career passer rating of 94.7.
Warner is the third in NFL history with a career passer rating of 93.8.
Both are tight as ticks statistically in the regular season.
Differences
However, there are two important differences between Warner and Manning. These differences tell us that Warner is the best quarterback even when light misguiding otherwise known reputation.
First, the envelope has been anointed by his greatness, from high school and has the reputation among professionals, while Warner has followed an unusual course of the small category of the university before pro leagues injuries gave him a shot in the NFL. Warner simply does not have the same public perception of pork, despite the cold, the fact that football deserves the same type of envelope excitement.
Secondly, when it comes to postseason play as important, there is no comparison: Warner is better than Manning in any way you want to slice and she says.
Warner in the postseason (10 games):
230, 360 (63.9%), 2991 meters, 8.31 YPA, 23 TD, 12 INT, 97.3 passer rating.
The strength of the postseason (15 games):
348, 565 (61.6%), 4207 meters, 7.4 YPA, 22 TD, 17 INT, 84.9 passer rating.
You will note that Warner is better than the numbers in each state and the efficiency has published more than postseason Manning TD passes (23 to 22) - despite the fact that he plays at least five games.
You will also notice that Warner postseason passer rating (97.3) is higher than his regular-season passer rating (93.8), while the strength of the postseason passer rating (84.9) is significantly lower than their regular-season passer rating (94.7).
In other words, a set of Warner improving the postseason pressure cooker. Manning performance fall.
Three other points to consider:
UNO - Warner is much more likely to play well in the postseason: Warner move a notice of 90.0 or more in six of 10 postseason games. Manning produced a passer rating of 90.0 or more in six of 15 postseason games.
DOS - Warner is far less likely to create an egg in the postseason: Manning played his worst statistical game of the year in the playoffs in 1999, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006 (measured by passer rating). Three times in 15 games Manning has issued a notice to go below 40 (against only twice in 176 regular season games).
Warner has never hurts in the playoffs. In his worst game, his passer rating was 56.2.
THREE - Most important, Warner teams are much more likely to win the tournament:
Warner 8-2 teams postseason play.
Manning Colts are 7-8 in the postseason.
Throughout history, only Tom Brady (14-3, .824) and Starr (9-1, 900) have better records Warner postseason.
Warner is also preparing for its third Super Bowl start. The list of quarters have begun to run: Terry Bradshaw, John Elway, Jim Kelly, Montana and Brady.
So what we have here in Warner is a quarter that is statistically as good as anyone who ever played the position. It is also twice MVP, Super Bowl MVP and Super Bowl champion.
He will soon join the list of watches with three Super Bowls and started him on a list - a list that includes only himself - who watches three Super Bowls with two different teams (Craig Morton started for two Super Bowls the two teams, Dallas and Denver).
More remarkable is that he always dysfunctional organizations. Before Warner, the Rams have only one Super Bowl (XIV), its history, including his time in Los Angeles. Warner led the franchise to its only Super Bowl victory and their first NFL title since 1951. The Rams fell to the earth's surface since he left. Even know they had the same Wide Recievers as when Warner was there.
Reach a Super Bowl with the Cardinals 9-7 poor defensive team, meanwhile, is nothing short of a miracle. The Cardinals are the worst franchise in the history of the league, which won only two matches in his first 88 years of NFL football. However, he won three games this month with Warner, and head to the Super Bowl, which easily defense (426 points allowed) of a conference champion in league history.
Manning, meanwhile, remains starter artists Picasso and the captain of one and six times in nine visits to his famous Colts have left the tournament without a single victory and the desire of each and almost all these hours below.
Given the success of their careers, take over Warner Manning to lead our team of six days a week and, of course, on Sunday - especially if it is the Sunday of January.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame selectors will meet on Saturday morning to choose the next class of enshrinees. Kurt Warner is not merit discussion yet.
Perhaps one day. Especially if Kurt Warner leads Arizona Cardinals to a victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday in the Super Bowl XLIII.
This will be the third Warner Super Bowl appearance, a victory and two others with the St. Louis Rams in a phase of his career, it seems that history. He alone will be the second quarter to start Super Bowls for different teams (Craig Morton did with the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos).
He was twice MVP of the NFL, Super Bowl MVP and sports statistics to compete with a great pass.
Among the three seasons with the Rams and impressive last two with the Cardinals out in the desert.
For me it about stats and what Warner has done in the year he has played.
Hall of Fame, if you win again? Hall of Fame, but he did not? This will be part of the statement that the Super Bowl week begins with the arrival of both teams.
Let them Blab, said Warner.
"You can discuss anything they like," he said. "I'm in the Super Bowl. I like that."
It could also benefit. Warner, 37, could have seen their most productive years. It is a free agent during the season and has not committed to playing time or the Cardinals, who have a former No. 1 selection, Matt Leinart, who is worthless as far as I can see.
What they say about the possibilities of Warner? What can we do if, for him to join luminaries such as Dan Marino, Troy Aikman, Joe Namath and Joe Montana? In cases where a bust of the residence of Jim Kelly Warner, Steve Young and Warren Moon?
Namath, who led the New York Jets to a 16-7 upset of the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III, ending 13 years of his career in 1977. The advantage of the hall comes after five years. The game of pass the first launch for 4000 yards in a season was not inducted until 1985. Is there someone in the Hall of Fame more famous?
Open the doors
Winning the Super Bowl is not a prerequisite for admission to the Hall of Fame. Marino has played and lost one. Fouts never happened. But Kelly, who lost the four he played in, Warner said another title should end the debate.
"If he wins, then you must watch what he did in previous years, and yes, I think it is certainly a candidate," he says. Warner work, Kelly says, "deserves serious consideration."
Let's look back. In the absence of an hour from scratch, Warner broke into the scene in 1999 with the Rams. Replacing an injured Trent Green, Warner has launched 41 affected in turn 4-12 team won the Super Bowl XXXIV 13-3 giant. He led touchdown passes in the NFL passer rating and, while for 4353 meters launch.
In a stretch of three years, from 98 affected. Rams 2001 Super Bowl upset in the New England Patriots, was 14-2 and Warner led the NFL with 4830 yards passing.
Then came the drought. A broken finger and other injuries to his right (throwing) hand and a concussion marred his last two seasons with the Rams, who failed to win a start (0-7). From 2002-06, which included a stint with the New York Giants and the first two with the Cardinals, who threw a total of 27 touchdown passes. He lost his job with the Giants and Eli Manning time in Arizona with Josh McCown, John Navarre, Tim Rattay and Leinart.
Then again. After each game this season after starting 11 in 2007 for the injured Leinart, Warner has launched 30 touchdown passes, giving him 57 in two years. Leinart to avert the resumption of the job for the start, has guided the Cardinals to their first division title since 1975 and its first championship since 1948.
"All we wanted was an opportunity," Cardinals Ken Whisenhunt said the coach. "What is it and took advantage of it. To see how he played this year has been great for the game."
Their numbers stand on how it is decided. His career percentage (65.4) is second to that of Chad Pennington, now with the Miami Dolphins. Passer rating of his career (93.8) trails that young, Indianapolis Colts' Peyton Manning and the Dallas Cowboys' Tony Romo. 48 300 meters Thursday from fifth, behind Marino, the New York Jets' Brett Favre, Fouts and Moon.
Cris Carter, a finalist in this year's group of candidates in the Hall of Fame, knows a little about the way forward. The fourth all-time in touchdown receptions with 130 and a monitor lawyer.
"If you win the match, their third Super Bowl, I think it is in other quarters of great class," he said.
If Warner throws a touchdown pass of the regular season, ending his career with 182. Phil Simms, who played one of the greatest games in the history of Super Bowl XXV New York Giants, was hit in 199 career. It is not considered material to the Hall of Fame. Aikman, who quarterback Dallas Cowboys to three Super Bowl victories, he launched 165 touchdown passes. Fouts has never won a Super Bowl, but fell to 254 results. Is in
So how do the calculation? Titles? Affected? Overall the impact?
"In my opinion, it is easy," said Mike Martz, offensive coordinator of the first, then coach of the Rams team that Warner. "There is no doubt that this is a Hall of Fame."
Career Arc
Warner began around the Arena Football League and NFL Europe before joining the Rams in 1998. He threw only 11 passes. When Green sustained a knee injury just before the opening of the season, took over Warner.
The Rams boasted of terrifying weapons. Running back Marshall Faulk to rush for 1000 yards and equality in total receptions. Receivers Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt burned defensive back.
"Kurt is playing better now that all he has done for us in St. Louis. He has been learning to play at a high level. It is far from the curve now," said Martz. "I could save things in it, because it can manage at once. It made me grow as a coach. "
The first supernova unexpected season ended with the Rams beat the Tennessee Titans 23 to 16th title of the NFL. Warner has gone from a Super Bowl record 414 yards, including a touchdown from 73 yards to Bruce with 1:54 left to put the Rams for the better.
Three brilliant seasons and then the magic was lost. In 2002, Warner fired three touchdown passes and 11 interceptions. A pass TD'03. Six en'04 with the Giants, before the distribution, the first general election in which the project was replaced after nine games. Even a quarter-hungry Chicago Bears took a pass from Warner in 2005, he returned to the Cardinals.
"I was looking for a team that wanted to Kurt Warner. There was not much, "said Warner.
Under Whisenhunt, Warner began to play in certain situations, in relief of Leinart, who later left with a broken collarbone. Despite a torn ligament in his left elbow, Warner gutted by temporada'07 and fired 27 touchdown passes to help the Cardinals to a 8-8 record, its first non-season loss since 1998.
Then came the surprise of the Cardinals continued to reach the stars.
Outstanding at the beginning, a great afternoon. Are the lost years of work against Warner in the Hall of Fame consideration?
Wait and see
The story has not yet been written. There is a Super Bowl, and perhaps closer, is consistent with Arizona or elsewhere. Warner could improve the possibilities. Or they could be harmed. Place and time seems to be the reason.
For Kurt Warner this season has been another great one of them. This Super Bowl could be another career jewel in his crown.Hey! Kurt you hold the super bowl record for yards 414,maybe you could make it 415 yards this year. The hall a fame debate is just beginning,but for too many sport media people seem there nothing good enough for them when it comes to Kurt Warner.The guy too many of those sport media people love to hate.Truth is too few of them ever even played the game and have not a clue what it takes to play at Kurt Warner level.

Can We Get Some Good NFL Officials in the Super Bowl?
Super Blown Call Last Touchdown by Steelers using the ball like he did is always
draws a flag and 15 yards But NFL Officials wanted steelers to win.
Yes,NFL Officials steal the game from Cardinals !!
Call after Call NFL Officials make up to slam Cardinals and Steal this Game !!!
Come on the pure crap calls yet Steeler slam Warner and nothing.
Whisenhunt should have been screaming at them NFL Officials!!!!
The Int return steelers did a block in the back no call.
Warner arm going forward NO NFL Officials Replays to check ?
Cardinals would have had it back with 05 second and gotten 15 yard penalty on Steeler !!!
I am so upset at defense play call why the hell do you blitz
in the last series when all you have to do is do a cover defense STUPID !!!
Why Offense calls should have had a clue that Warner can pass STUPID why did Cardinals
waiting to the 4th quarter to open up the passing game ?

Quarterback Kurt Warner answers questions at the last get together of the Cardinals season lockerroom before the last get together of the teams.
There is no timetable, said Kurt Warner. It is not possible, to be inclined to play or retire in 2009.
One thing that the Cardinals quarterback said Tuesday, the team physically, and after a recent get together of the loss of Super Bowl XLIII, is that their 2008 was not spectacular play much of it to help your decision.
Never in a touch of wheels and games to win and everything, "said Warner." Of course, reading itself, and it's fun, and play the game, but it is not the determining factor of whether or not there again. "
Most importantly, will address the team and the family undertaking Warner. Warner is a free, unrestricted by the end of the month and should be a new contract. Probably see what happens with the personal trainer - Defender offensive coordinator Todd Haley, with Warner, a close connection to Kansas City for the coach.
Warner said he will tak with other players and I suppose weigh all the information and sit and pray on this subject, let's see what God requires of me. "
Warner said that he had not signed with another team. This term was, by his representative before the Super Bowl, and Warner said he did not include this option. But "there is no doubt that I would finish my career as an Arizona Cardinal, said Warner." When playing, I would not be anywhere else. "
Cardinals want back Warner, the team and warner need to iron out a consensus on a new contract .
"I think we have said very clearly that we seek Kurt," said coach Ken Whisenhunt. "But we are within the 48 hours after the Super Bowl. ... There are many emotions and that all decisions in time. But we've never seen before in the fact that we are back to Kurt."
DANSBY change
Besides Warner, the Cardinals is the largest free Lineback Karlos Dansby, when associated with the release of 2008. The team has until 19 days Dansby andalusia In February this year (which is over 9 million dollars for 2009, if something happened), or someone else.
Dansby did not want the label. He said Tuesday he still believes that a cardinal season, while the external support to the statements during the week of Super Bowl, the first layer of the organization.
"We have a lot of situations here," Dansby said. "Mine is one of them. I want the first, but for the organization. This is the same."
ON THE ISSUES
Among the other purposes of self defense of Antonio Smith and Bertrand Berry.
Smith has an opportunity for a lot of money in the market for free, presumably more of the cards have to offer. The cards also have Calais Campbell or Kenny Iwebema connector plug on the floor, if Smith leaves.
"I do not know what to expect," said Smith, the House by Drew Rose. "I really do not know what the next round. I hope that I can not do it again. I want to be here."
Berry is in another place. Arizona as a veteran and was a serious blow-back season after three years, ravaged by injuries.
"My situation is in the air," says Berry. "I'm going a step back and focus on the family. Go into the body to relax. I'm not a spring chicken. More than a duck is. I want more quiet as possible."
Berry, 34, in the training camp, he stressed that he is not the idea of withdrawing.
"The" R "word is not in my vocabulary," says Berry. "We're going to leave now. There is no thought, I have no intention of everything. I'm not very far."
Haley UP
Haley is to listen to the leaders of its major training posts, but if the Heads of State and Government of the Cardinals of the authorization to use the word, whose contract as the offensive coordinator, Whisenhunt did not say that. (Update: Kansas City Star reported the license was issued).
"I remember the first time that this job is for me to comment about someone who the child and the district does not make much sense that Whisenhunt said before d 'to look at the responses of Ben Roethlisberger in 2007, when Roethlisberger offense." Therefore, as things are, I think leaving the computer on which the authorization to carry out. I will stay out of it. "
EXTRA POINTS
Pro Bowl wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldini, with back Edgerrin James is not in the locker room to the press on Tuesday. James is not expected back for next season. Boldini status is unclear; Whisenhunt says team wants him and wants to make sure that it is "fair compensation". Boldini said during the season not thinking about his future until the season is over, and never of their training camp of the things he does not want to be in Arizona long term. ...
Unrestricted free agent corner Eric Green, no two of the last four games of the regular season and four post-season games, as "worrying" that are inactive, while the Super Bowl and said it was not new.
"It would be very difficult if I go back and re-signing two months is not much, Green said with a smile." There is no resentment. It is a business. I know one thing, I will train my ass off all this has given me a lesson, and something I needed. This is my country, I am mortified.

Kurt Warner going to the Jets?
Well that's what the talk is going around.
but it makes no sense for kurt warner to quarterback for the jets.
He has a great position being quarterback for the cardinals.
Unless the salary offer from the Jets would be 20 million .
But it still seems to be a rumor only .

Warner now a free-agent has options, today the 49ers took him by private plane to meets with 49ers .
The Bidwill are the same old stupid Bidwill they re-sign P Graham and back up QB St. Pierre but they
seem to be dragging their asses on offering Warner a real deal.
Let's look at Cassel deal 14.5 million a year.Now while I believe Cassel is a good QB Kurt Warner just took the Cardinal farther then they have ever been to the big show .
I see Warner going to another team while Cardinals drag their asses .
I also see the Cardinals 7 - 9 in 2009 season without Warner.
What fun it would be to see Warner kicking the Cardinals Butt on some other team.

Kurt Warner tell his agent to make the deal with Cardinals for less money then 49ers
offered.
The AZ Cardinals offer is 23 million for 2 years .
Very sad to see Kurt Warner settle for less ,knowing the way Cardinals have treated him.
Again the Bidwell family just plain sucks .
The Cardinal origination should have been kissing Warner butt,
Instead they delayed and delayed and in the end gave him less then his is worth.
The Bidwell did this in St.Louis treated players like dirt..
Warner also offer 1 million less if the Cardinals will sign Boldin .

Warner signs 2 year contract Cardinals today, Wednesday March 05 2009.
Financials of the deal are not disclosed, yet Warner's agent Mark Bartelstein , deal worth $23 million, warner get $19 million guaranteed.
Most people may not know this but the reason NFL plays get guaranteed monies is because no contract is totally guaranteed. So if you sign a 100 million dollar contract the 100 million is
never guaranteed.This is also why players ask for a new contract when they have a excellent
year.

The NFL Cardinals are not chasing many free agents this offseason, but he had a small list of priorities - and corner Bryant McFadden was on top of the hill.
Therefore, on Sunday, just days after the team returns to the free agent's most important signing of his inclusion in the quarter Kurt Warner, the group disembarked Steele McFadden, when the old agreement on a contract two years, worth $ 10 million euro. McFadden will receive $ 5 million in the first year of operation, including a salary of $ 3.75 million.
"It sounds like a good situation," McFadden said during his visit last week. "There are guys who have been around for years. And this is an up-and-coming organization that wants to be part - a good organization, and (a), which is moving and you want to party. "
McFadden will compete with veteran Rod Hood for a job in the second year than men, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The amendment strengthens the secondary adapter, after a season in 2008 when will be leaving soon-Eric Green fell to promote the position of nickel was led by veteran Ralph Brown.
"He came to the competition, but like other actors who have contributed, is the mentality of what we tried here," said coach Ken Whisenhunt.
The amendment should also allow Antrel Rolle to focus on the safety of the game and not worry about filling the slot corner role.
McFadden has played in 10 games for the Steelers in 2008, eight games and two interceptions. McFadden missed six games after breaking his arm and required surgery. However, he returned to start three games in Pittsburgh, especially against the Cardinals in the Super Bowl. In four seasons, McFadden has played in 51 games and seven interceptions.
May McFadden was the top corner, but knowing Whisenhunt McFadden said - not just the days in Pittsburgh McFadden Whisenhunt, but also in the treatment of each of the last two seasons - has conducted research in the paper McFadden.
"Always help when you know a person, you know how it works," said Whisenhunt.
Whisenhunt added that the cards have their own players, but they tend to work the team in free agency is not necessarily more. "We are not closing the door to the possibility of making our team better," he said. "Our goal is to return to the Super Bowl and win it."

A league source tells us that the Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldini were made to potential offered for trading. Kurt Warner has been suggested that it would devote part of their salary to sign a new contract Boldini. Anquan Boldini, a NFL veteran of six years, was signed into 2010. He has tried for about a year, to gain a significant increase in its current range of $ Two.Five million to Three million. WR Fitzgerald team of ten million dollars each year to feel Boldini least $ nine million units a year. Anquan Boldini has already requested a trade. At some point after the Super Bowl, said Anquan Boldini did not sign a new agreement with the Cardinals, and I wanted to be treated to a new team. More recently, it has softened its position, expressing a willingness to consider a new long-term contract to stay with the team.

The NFL continues to screw up the game again and again in writing new rules of the game...
Here are 5 security-oriented regulatory changes were adopted on Tuesday, followed by NFL standards at 6 am Wednesday, the direction appears to be stupid over kill. Let's take a look at 11, starting with the common sense rules on the books of yesterday.
• Loose balls, which are the result of a fumble or incomplete pass are now subject to review video. (should be called the kurt warner rule after the Super bowl last play). But most are saying it the Hochuli ruling .. Hochuli blew the first call, and could not before the media show he made the right call. NFL said they felt bad for him crap why not fine these guys for bad calls., Tell me why they say everything turned out ok. The whole thing was corrected in the game of 17 weeks, the team won the best division, the rule was changed, and now the case was officially closed?
• Video playback can be used to determine whether a ball was on the edge or the football was out. This stems from a shortcoming in the NFC Championship, when a in the play it was decided,wrongly the ball out of boundaries in which they never had. I think it is reassuring to play now in a position so that we can correct the errors. I have the staff to decide that a ball of limitations, unless you had a ball out of bounds. It seems that could have saved some problems for all in the game.
• It can no longer be take over after rekicks illegal (kick a person of the team touched the ball before the necessary travel required yards, etc..) Immediately, the other team gets the football.. I clearly see the NFL over manging the game.Fact is the did not like all the onside kicks this year.
• The draft Regulation has been amended to include the results of the NFL playoffs, regular season results. The most frequently cited is that the Chargers beat the Colts in the playoffs 2008 and more advanced than they have, but the Chargers 8 / 8 after the regular season to go select ahead of the Colts, 12-4 during the regular season.
• There is a new time of waivers during the first two weeks post-season NFL training camp and the very last play of the nfl season either/or the Pro Bowl or Super Bowl.
• When a football goes outside the lines , the clock will only be stopped until the referee signals ready for play.
Now these rule changes are be crap,the nfl is destroying the game.The NFL must be wanting Women to play the game.The fact is it taking all the excitment out of Football.What other sport can you name that changes the rules every year ?
• The formation of a "the wedge" in return is now totall illegal. If three or more players on the line side by side, within two yards of each other is a penalty. Traditionally teams a return of about four men in a corner in front of the football back and say that they stand as soon as possible, and a way for access to the ball is. Meanwhile, the kick to the players on the field, running as fast as possible, with instructions on how to beat the players in a corner as hard as you can. If this seems a little too violent for you, because it is. The owners are determined to cause too much injury.
• In onside kicks, the teams can gather together no more than 5 players. After examining the tape, the owners have also discovered that many guys were injured .. Again no reason for this rule.It been played this way for decades leave it alone..
Blindside hitting • A block can't hit with a helmet, shoulder and forearm of the players on the head and neck. This is a rate of 15 yards. I have absolutely again say the NFL will screw up game after game on this call.In the movement of a play in the game it too easy to hit by the rules a wrong way. The game is a game of quick movement you cannot always judge where you will hit a player.
• A defensive player on the field can no longer in the hit or dive to the bottom of the legs. We all kown what to call this rule. "The Pussy Brady Rule". The rule is a lot like the in the grasp rule.Come on it football player not wimp ball.
The quarterback is treated like eggs these days one hit and he will get broken.
These rules will just cause more crap calls.
Hell the NFL screws up enough games again the Super Bowl for one.

The day came to a close with some food - go - and the last bend in the road, even with a GPS system, it is still screwed up.
"It was a journey of discovery,and getting it lost is just part of the journey," launched Steve Keim, the Cardinals for the staff director, who has the short straw in the two car caravan leader.
Wednesday marked the final phase map of "pre-exploration project, with a trip to Los Angeles and USC / day", the "case of these things. The seat is next to the field of USC were not anywhere nearly full, not like last time I came Keim, when Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush was warm and white rock stars in the region.
The last time I went Keim, also flew commercial.
This time, Cardinals President Michael Bidwill was the pilot bringing the team's share for the detection of Trojan horses on board his private plane. CEO Rod
GM Rod Graves (right) and tight ends coach Freddie Kitchens speak tight end Dominique Byrd of USC days (for a photo gallery, click here).
Graves took the trip, and defensive coordinator Bill Davis - in addition to quality draftable USC players in this defense, in particular Lineback - and tight ends coach Freddie Kitchens. Former USC tight end Dominique Byrd, once the third round of the Rams, who are outside of the NFL, which is good. The documents, still trying to stabilize the position, can not decide on a bad image.
Bidwill has never been at a pro day . He wants all aspects of the experience of the team at least once, which can only make it easier to run the franchise. This possible meaning. Means of a first alarm, but it is an advantage to live in a state of California - a day trip.
Staff in hand, including the head of NFL coaches Sean Payton of the Saints, the Vikings' Brad Childress, Jim Schwartz and Lions 49ers' Mike Singletary. They were among those seated in a small auditorium for the day where coach Pete Carroll, USC gave a summary of all his players.
"I just wanted to let you know (see) Mark Sanchez has decided to stay in school," Carroll said, adding "April Fools" for a group is not responding with a collective laugh. Sánchez 's was not before it. All we did was to begin moving day and beyond, until noon, a class.
Sanchez was the star of the book, the child could be a top 10 selection. There was the USC linebackers, so Davis wanted to come. Rey Maualuga and Brian Cushing first tower is closed. Clay Matthews can be, and Maiava Kaluki will soon be created.
The crowd grows in the field after the measurement and the chassis is more pressing in the gym. Big-time agents Tom Condon and Ben Dogra arrival. The media in rolls, with the creation of the NFL Network, in a corner, and Mike Mayock mixture with Todd McShay ESPN and Shelley Smith.
Pro days tend to attract attention but not as Carroll came to USC.
"Each year, the biggest," said Mayock. "This is a circus."
However, nothing is like Leinart / Bush version, when Carroll was brought in dozens of potential recruits from high school with the intention to impress the NFL attention. "It was the craziest I've ever seen," said Keim.
Sanchez, not surprisingly, has very little interest in the cards, but Keim and Davis are among the few who pay attention to the defensive line Moali Kyle Moore and his son get in touch with a couple of steps d scouts of the saints.
No player will increase or kill the project in a store one day. Or at least should not.
"This only confirms what you saw on the tape (of his college season)," said Keim. "We must be careful how much was put into action"
Sometimes not even on the project. Byrd was part of Bush that Leinart-2006 per day and the next draft. He is now back on campus, trying to find a job. After passing through the capture of Sanchez, The kitchen is the only one to talk to him or to perform certain exercises over Byrd. The cards do not need another tight end today - has just signed veteran Anthony Becht - but a person is taken into account.
After Byrd finished with kitchens, maps "day is over.
There is a short stop for more hamburgers and then maneuver through the usual stop and go traffic on the road. Graves works the phone, the search for a possible signing of the free has not worked. At 8 pm, the plane returned to Sky Harbor airport in 5 hours, the data collected by the nation, second to last day (Thursday Hawaii a place in southern California). Now the Cardinals again are resuming their draft meetings.
My last words are Please draft smart .And not sure why they haven't use Boldin as a draft up leverage?

The cardinals take Running back Beanie Wells Hmmm Wonder what the edge is thinking right now ....
Does this mean the end for James Edgerrin as a Cardinal ?
I am not sure Beanie Wells fits within Cardinal Offense just as James Edgerrin does not either.
I am sure there is plans to trade James Edgerrin and that I am also sure he would be happy to have happen.
But I would keep both backs and use them in a I formation Beanie Wells blocks James Edgerrin runs the ball.
Then another run play James Edgerrin blocks Beanie Wells run the ball.
While James Edgerrin might complain it in the long run saves him.The trade off of ball carries keeps James fresher with more leg power through out the whole nfl season.
In the end good bet is James Edgerrin is Gone from cardinals.

Chris Miller show some nervousness, and it's only one short session of about five minutes. The cardinal's quarterback coach shifts with new coach that has already made some unofficial work, with three of the four quarters of the list, sharing time with Matt Leinart, Brian St. Pierre and Tyler Palka floor exercises. But his training has been the basis of school and training school "University football." Now he was there before the first Cardinals Minicamp practice with his first training session on the true face of Kurt Warner, a man who could probably step in the right training. Miller, who in 10 seasons in the NFL quarterback himself, who will be driving a quarterback like Warner whose experiences and successes. "Kurt is an avid competitor and is happy when he is pushed ," said Miller. "When coach (Ken) Whisenhunt hired me is what he said -" This man wants to be pushed, who wants to be better. " "After we went through Minicamp, (Kurt), I shot a text and said:" I loved the training and 2009 will be a fun season. "It made me feel good. " With three Super Bowl appearances and magical 20-game (including the postseason) run from 5730 meters, 41 affected and only 17 interceptions, Warner does not really need to be coachedl. Still Warner sees profits from a coach like Miller in comparing the situation with a pro golf swing coaches use (Hank Haney Tiger Woods, for example). Miller, known for a long period of start of the NFL, and the similarities between the two (both are fathers of families; Miller is 43 years and in response to Warner 38), Warner potentially relationship. "Even if you May not need much work at the technical and understanding, it is always good to have a guy who has experience in this area and continues to watch," said Warner. "A man who understands what is success and what does not. Perhaps you are tired throughout the season and start the car a bit, it might be to provide advice to small. " Warner Miller Cree help translate the game to game development planning, noting that sometimes the coaches who have not played a quarter, in his mind, (a game), but sometimes when you don ' are not necessarily quarters over the ground. " Miller began to 19.320 yards and hit 123 career with the Falcons, Rams and Broncos, and is centered on the heart. Good footwork, for example, is a key issue for him, he wants something in particular Leinart own. Warner also has problems in this regard. After each shot burst in 2008, Warner, Warner Miller admitted feet "is sometimes overlooked in the formation of rifle and there are times when Warner shuffle in your pocket and create unnecessary pressure. Most, however, Miller and Warner wants to exchange ideas. Now, Warner has a significant influence on the game plan each week, something was under former offensive coordinator Todd Haley. "It's good as you can see in this game, perhaps in the history of the game, reading, knowing that the defense and the defenders, and the anticipation, the time," said Miller. "His football IQ is on the table." Warner likes the idea of Miller as a former starter, he knows the ups and downs of the position in a game by game basis. Miller also has a glass half full of personality, Warner believes that will help the four quarters. For Warner, there are always things to learn. "I understand a guy who has more experience than I say," What do I give this guy? "," Warner said. "But I do not have everything planned. Someone who can bring me closer to being the best I can be, are open to that."

Kurt Warner was back in St. Louis this week at a men's meeting in a local church.
He spoke on still hurting from going under the knife about 10 weeks ago for his hip.
Hope it heals well I want another season watching Kurt play.I have to reup with directv to get the NFL package.
Since I live in St. Louis I also am a Rams fan and talk is they want to get Mike Vick and it's sounds like a excellent idea. With Mike as Qb and Jackson doing the ball running it will be a
great offense.Far as I am concern Mike Vick got screwed but the court systems.
The PETA wacko will protest Mike Vick but PETA is a bunch of hypocrites because they
care more for a animals life then a humans life.
How many NFL players got drunk and killed someone and still play the game with Jail time !!!
Hey! Peta why not protest all life even abortion killers ?
I am starting a new group call PETP People Ethical Treatment of Plants .
No plant should ever have to die !!!!! LOLOLOL
Got to go my steak is on the grill, but no vegetables were killed !!
