Does Kurt Warner Deserve to Be in the Hall of Fame?
Sports Blurbs
Kurt Warner breathed new life into a team that was on the brink of disaster; the Arizona Cardinals were saved by Kurt being released from the St. Louis Rams in 2004. This trade would be become the saving grace of his career, and maybe pushing him further ahead in the voting process for a Hall of Fame inductee. Kurt Warner signed a one year contract in 2005 with the Arizona Cardinals when no other team would sign him to a long term contract. Just maybe this was what he needed to reignite his passion for the game he loved so much.
The question may be, what do most NFL fans, Arizona fans, and St. Louis fans feel about his respective numbers in relation to his Hall of Fame lock? Believe it or not, Kurt Warner did not get his first NFL start until he was 28. "In 124 regular-season games, Warner completed 65.5 percent of his passes for 32,344 yards and 208 touchdowns. He and Fran Tarkenton are the only NFL quarterbacks to throw for 100 touchdowns and 14,000 yards for two teams." If you were to combine the three seasons he played in the Arena Leauge and one in NFL Europe his stats are much more impressive. The NFL only includes a player who played in their leauge, and that may be why Kurt Warner's 32,344 yds, 208 td's, 4070 attempts, and a 93.7 QB rating may not be enough ballots for him to be considered into the Hall of Fame.

Post a CommentI agree with you on how Kurt Warner skill level will be the talk of the town if this is one of the reasons he does get into the Hall of Fame.
I vote yes, but that's a tough question to answer. When given time in the pocket, he was one of the best pure passers ever to me. Plus, he's led his teams to three Super Bowls -- winning one.
