In spite of all the negative talk I have heard on radio and read here, John Clayton thinks highly of the pick up, gave it 4 footballs which equates to a highly positive move:
John Clayton's analysis:
The move: The Cardinals sign QB Kurt Warner to a one-year deal.
The upside: Instead of six touchdown passes last season, Warner could have had 17 if his receivers could break a tackle or two. Warner brings experience and accomplishment to Dennis Green's offense. He completed 62.8 percent of his passes with the Giants and got the team off to a surprise 5-2 start. After back-to-back losses, he was benched, but he has better blocking and better receivers with the Cardinals.
The downside: He's not mobile. Giants coach Tom Coughlin tired of the increasing number of sacks. Warner had 39 sacks in nine games. He can't escape many rushes and is willing to stay in the pocket to complete a pass. Sometimes those negative plays can come back to haunt an offense.
Clayton's take: This was a great signing from the standpoint that Warner and Green each have a track record of winning. Warner now has a big, physical offensive line, particularly with the addition of right tackle Oliver Ross. If the Cardinals can get a few more players on defense, they might be a factor in the NFC West.
