Kurt Warner Is Not A Hall Of Famer

Steven ResnickDec 9, 2008

There have been a few articles popping up recently in regards to Kurt Warner being a future Hall of Famer.

In my opinion, though Warner isn't a Hall of Famer.

Yes, Warner's a nice story, but his numbers are not consistent enough to put him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Warner was originally brought in to the Rams organization to be a backup to Trent Green. During the preseason in 1999, Green was lost for a season due to a knee injury.

This opened the door for Warner.

Now, if Warner was able to consistently put up numbers like he did from 1999 to 2001, where he led the Rams to a Superbowl ring and an overall 35-8 record while he threw for a total of 12,612 yards and 98 touchdowns, it might be a different discussion.

Instead, from 2001-2007, Warner played miserably. In those seven season, he amassed an underwhelming record of 13 wins and 29 losses. He threw for 11,357 yards, 54 touchdowns, and didn't make it to the post season.

Now, with more than likely either a 8-8 or 9-7 record and a playoff berth out of a weak NFC West, he's getting attention, but it's not enough to make up for his faults. 

Yes, Warner has one of the best completion percentages of all-time.

That tends to be negated by the fact that he's not very mobile. Instead of throwing the ball away like most quarterbacks, he'll take a sack, which leads to his fumbling issues. For his career he's fumbled the ball away 39 times.

If he doesn't take the sack, he'll rush his throws and his passes will be intercepted. For his career he's thrown 112 interceptions.

Meaning that for every 1.17 touchdowns Warner has turned the ball over.

Defenses made adjustments on Warner and it wasn't until this year that he was even talked about.

Heck, he wasn't even supposed to be the starter for the Cardinals.

That job was supposed to go to Matt Leinart, but Leinart performed horribly in training camp and by default, Warner got the job.

The biggest problem for Warner is that his win-loss record isn't that great—just 48-37 for his career.

It will go up a little after this season, but he still doesn't have enough wins in the NFL to be in the Hall of Fame.

Warner may have the two MVP's, but it's not enough to get him in.
