Warner Asks Cardinals For $23 Million

By | March 4, 2009 | Football | 4 Comments

The Arizona Cardinals offered Kurt Warner a two year $20 million contract with $10 million guaranteed.

Warner counter-offered $23 million with $12 guaranteed.

Let me tell you why I don’t even think he is worth the first offer.

1) Kurt Warner is older than me.

How many times do I have to tell you people that I (at 36) am too old to play in in the NFL? Warner is six months older than me. In NFL years 36 equals 78. Especially when you’ve been sacked as many times as Kurt Warner.

2) Kurt Warner is Overrated

I have been screaming about this since 1999. Yes, he has a quick release, yes he has a big arm, but he isn’t that accurate. Warner has been blessed with amazing receivers. This year Fitzgerald and Boldin, and back when he was with the Rams he had Tory Holt, Isaac Bruce, Muhsin Muhammad and Marshall fucking Faulk. Ryan Leaf could quarterback a Super Bowl team with that kind of personnel.

Warner threw 14 interceptions during the 2008 regular season. That is a lot.

3) Kurt Warner is preachy and pompous.

If I wanted a minister I would go to church. Why can’t your faith be between you and God?

4) Warner Needs The Cardinals

I’m not saying that Kurt wouldn’t take they money and run to San Francisco but I can say that I don’t think the 49ers will be making any Super Bowl appearances in the next two years.

And I don’t think anybody thinks that Warner has more than that left in him.

    Face it. The man is a HoFer. He took two teams to the big game 10 years apart, he can still play if he wants, and he’s better then anything the Bucs have since they gave up their good uniforms for Pewter and ships and other things that have no business in football. So stop the hate!

    You think Kurt Warner is overrated and isn’t that accurate?

    For the record, he has a better career completion percentage than P. Manning, Favre, Elway, Bradshaw, Marino, Montana, Aikman, and Tom Brady.

    And of that list, only Manning has a higher career QB rating.

    P.S. Muhsin Muhammad was never on the Rams.

    You’re also too old to be an NFL cheerleader.
