Is Kurt Warner's Retirement a Good Decision for His NFL Career?

The question which may haunt many Arizona Cardinal Fans for many years to come, is how Kurt Warner's retirement decision will affect the Cardinal's organization and his respective NFL career? Even though his retirement decision if final, it may be more important to note how he led the Cardinals to another playoff appearance, plus his record breaking playoff stats. When Kurt Warner led the Cardinals to a Divisional win in 2009 he automatically became an Arizona fan favorite to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers, but this would not happen due to "Big Ben" Rothlisberger phenomenal third down conversions, and Santonio Holmes unbelievable tippie toe side line catches. Kurt Warner's retirement announcement on Friday January 29th may have not come to a surprise for most Cardinal fans after the beating he took in the playoffs.

When Kurt Warner was released by the St. Louis Rams in 2004 he had a sub-par season at best, and apparently he was not happy being a member of the New York Giants, it was quite obvious that he wanted more out of his NFL career. In little than no time at all after being traded to the Arizona Cardinals in 2005 Kurt Warner showed why he was worth the trade, even though they had Matt Leinart as their first round pick. Kurt Warner also proved to be an important asset and leader of a team that was losing focus on winning important games - which in the past kept the Cardinals out of the playoff race. The question that only Kurt Warner can answer is, will he change his mind in the off-season or will he stick to his guns and stay permanently retired?

After Playing for 12 seasons in the NFL Kurt Warner summed up how he came to terms about his retirement decision and his career. ""It's been an amazing ride," he said."I don't think I could have dreamt it would have played out like it has, but I've been humbled every day that I woke up the last 12 years and amazed that God would choose to use me to do what he's given me the opportunity to do." As a man of devout faith and Christian values, is Kurt Warner's retirement a good decision for his NFL career? Would most Cardinal fans want Kurt Warner to return for one more season?
