The line I quoted you on! :p

I think Kurt Warner is about to retire, but I hope I'm wrong. :(

I wrote "last year". Not FOR last year.

It's like one of the players or coaches having something misquoted or misconstrued. Makes me feel special.

We already paid that player 40 million last year.

And for those who want to make Warner a Saint remember he was a Cardinals QB in '05,'06 & '07 and couldn't even get us a winning season. Many of the other starters were playing then as well. Under Denny Green they couldn't even beat the worst teams in the league.

The guys that are really responsible for getting Arizona to the Super Bowl and THREE playoff wins don't even suit up. Ken Whisenhunt and his band of 60,000 screaming Cardinal fans.

I don't think that's a fair comparison. Denny Green would have pulled Warner after the first half of the Jets game and who knows what would have happened from there. You can't blame Denny's idiotic coaching on Warner. How is a player supposed to perform when he has no confidence at all from the coach and feels like this will never be his team to lead because he could get the hook after any given play?

That's honestly the biggest thing that impressed me about Whiz is that he stuck with Kurt after the Jets game even when fans, media, everybody was saying "there's the real Kurt Warner" with all his turnovers.

2007, Kurt was playing with one arm for most of the season. I'm not a Kurt lover and had my doubts about him as much as anybody, but he's played very well the last couple years.

Last year, aside from the Jet game, he played pretty near flawlessly for a guy that had to sling the ball as much as he did. And he did the thing that all of us worried about the most, got rid of the football and protected it when he couldn't get it out.

A lot of people are saying Kurt is on his way down, but I think that now that he's finally getting good coaching and being pushed, he's becoming a better QB. Up until the past 2 years, he never had good coaching.

I doubt a former Super Bowl MVP is going to play poorly just because the coach might pull him if he has a bad game. Especially a guy who has already been pulled by two other organizations. If Warner had that type personality he would have retired before coming to Arizona.

But you help make the point. Warner and the others couldn't play well enough to overcome Green's "idiotic" coaching. It was Whisenhunt that got them to raise their games to Championship level. It was Whisenhunt who got rid of the "oh no here we go again" Cardinals so that they could overcome a game like the one against the Jets.

And it was the fans who never gave up on the team that helped him do that. If anyone doesn't believe that just go back and listen to the quotes from the coach and players regarding the fans after the playoff wins.

MESA! :thud:
Yeah and 10,000+ posts full of your oh-so witty replies makes you a great poster, huh? As they say quality matters over quantity...
Maybe not, but you are talking to the guy (Skkorp) that CREATED this board, so that, in my opinion, makes him a great poster--better than any of the rest of us that never bothered to make this message board.

I'm chock full of "oh-so witty" replies, but Skkorp generally has substance. Get over yourself.
