I think he belongs in the HOF.

 

Me too, though I don't know that he'd be a 1st ballot for me. Without the SB appearances I know I'd feel a lot different about him.

However, I disagree with his award in STL was him being cast off. He was cast off because of his last two years there, where he couldn't seem to play all season (0-6 in 2002 by the way). And he rode the pine in NYG because he just wasn't that special in his playing time there, and they had a #1 overall pick there too. I mean if you're going to get marginal QB play, it may as well be from the rookie. And it wasn't a super bowl overnight in AZ either, he was there for 3 years prior to the SB season (all 3 of which he had losing records).

 

First, I couldn't agree more with you azfinfanmang. I've always been a big Warner fan. Kinda surprised they haven't made a movie about his life/career yet, because you couldn't make up a script like his in Hollywood. There's more to it too. Check this out:

Pretty amazing, huh? I mean, the guy is a friggin' saint! I'm pulling for the Cards to go all the way, and for him to get one more ring before he retires. Be a heckuva way to finish an incredible career. Then, maybe Hollywood will take notice and start working on that movie?

That game yesterday was awesome. Fun to watch for sure. But, you're right...he had 5 TD's compared to 4 incompletions. UFB! Wow...just wow!

As for Canton, well I dunno. I mean, I don't know if his stats would merit consideration. But, I noticed a few of the talking heads talking about it before the game yesterday. So, I guess he has enough stats to be considered. One thing is for sure, if they take integrity into consideration, well, then he's gotta be first ballot IMO.

 

He absolutely deserves to be in the HoF. He also had to deal with injury/concussions during his time with the Giants. He has come back strong recently.

 

I think that is more an indictment of Boldin's importance than anything. Yes, I do agree Warner played great (I wish we could be so lucky to have a QB play so well). I'm just saying I don't think his numbers would've been any better (at least not noticeably) with Boldin out there. Arguably Kurt's two best games of the season (counting Sunday and @CHI) involved Boldin not playing.

 

it's not like his other WRs weren't open. IMO Boldin couldn't have done any more damage than what they already did. maybe the game would have ended 62-56 instead. i don't know.

 

1st ballot HOF all the way. He's a better QB then Farve.

 

I don't know how anyone could possibly not consider him a HOF candidate. The guy is absolutely amazing. First ballot all the way.

He excels at all parts of the game....from completion percentage, to TD's, to Yards per attempt. The fact that he's been a bit of a journeyman QB should not overshadow his phenomenal play. Just because teams are foolish enough to look past his production (Sent packing for Bulger, sat for Eli (too soon IMO), and sat for Leinhart) doesn't mean we should. Look at how he stacks up all time (via wikipedia mind you but others are more vague as tot he requirements)

-2nd Highest pass yards per game in a career with 260.4 (2nd only to Peyton Manning)
-Highest compeltion percentage in a single regular season game 92.3%
-Most yards passing in Super Bowl: 414 yards (also owns 2nd and 3rd)
-Most passing yards in SB career (1,156 yards)
-Most passing yards playoffs (single season) 1,147 (2009)
-Most TD's in post season-11 (Tied with Joe Montana)
-Highest career completion percentage in post season 66.5%
-2nd Highest career passer rating in playoffs 104.6 (Bart Starr first)
-Highest rate of 300+ yard games 45.2%
-Most games with a perfect passer ratings 3 (tied with manning and roth)
-tied as fastest player to reach 30,000 yards- 114 games (Dan Marino)

I mean his statistics are insane. And that's with a truncated career. He spent some time out side of football, injured, and sitting behind lesser QB's. His stats against playoff (remember those are supposed to be the better teams in the league) are just insane.

How could he not?

 

And IMO he's a much better QB than Favre. Favre has Mojo and not a ton else. I respect the guy but as far as QB's go Warner's got it IMO.

 

He went to University of Northern Iowa.

Hall.
Of.
Famer.

 

Don't you dare take one of the few good things away from us! :pity:

 

Well we have Tom Arnold... I guess that makes Iowa #1 in E's eyes.... :shifty:

 

If Michael Irvin is a first ballot HOF, then Kurt Warner should be too. Warner is #1, 2, and 3 in Super Bowl passing yardage. He may be #4 after this year. HOF for sure.

 

lol noted :)

I'd take Warner in his prime over Favre in his prime honestly....but I'm a fan of pure passers.

The big difference that sticks out in my head is that Warner got hurt and kept getting pushed out for other guys...while GB was married to Favre throughout his career. Favre is good, no doubt, one of the all time greats. But I take Warner at his best over Favre at his best...

 

He needs one more ring to be a first ballot HOFer.

 

You bet he does!!

First Ballot HOFer for sure. As for pure pocket passers imho he is right there with Danny and Peyton. IPOF he reminds me of Danny alot; just look at how he reacted to Fitz's mishandling that one pass in Sunday's game. I must also add if I had to chose between Warner and Brady I'll take Warner hands down, all day long!:up:

As for Farve well we'll see where he stands after Romo and Company get finished up there.

 

32,000 passing yards,2 time MVP,Superbowl MVP,5 time Pro Bowler,career QB raiting of 93.7,2 SB appearences(maybe a 3rd coming)
Yeah,he's got a spot in Canton waiting for him

 

Warner has actually been to the Sb three times. in 99/00 (vs. Tennessee), 01/02 (vs. New England) and 08/09 (vs. Pittsburgh)

 

Favre had the better career but in their primes id take Warner over Favre 7 days a week. if i had to take ones career, you have to take Favre....

 

He should get in

 

Five-touchdown playoff game is nothing new for Warner; more

Here is some more on Kurt Warner's performance.

HOF is only deserving i would like to see a biography on him when he retires. I couldn't believe the stats he put up against Green Bay what a game.
