I think he should start. He is our future, and he needs to learn to win on this level. I cannot understand why he looked so great, at times, under DG, but under Whis, he is struggling. He was on the fast track to stardom, and now his development is being ********.

The coaches are probably just trying to keep his confidence up. We will see come next week. Maybe Matt comes down with a suspicious injury.

You know whats scarrry again and people will FLUFF it off AGAIN!

Is that Whis in that article clearly stated that they planned on bringing Warner in because yet again "there was to much for Leinart to focus on"

Is Whis overtly telling us we have a dummy at QB who cant handle an entire real NFL gameplan from week to week? I dont want to hear the guy is young either. That should be damn well elementary in the NFL.

Please, people. At the game Sunday do not start booing Matt after an incompletion or start chanting "We want Kurt."

It's embarrassing. If the change needs to be made, ken will make it.

He's been fine when he just goes out and plays. All he did in college was win, all he's done in the NFL is change. New systems, fixing footwork, check this check that. They need to give him the tools he needs to win, not try to remake him in their mold.

I call BS. The guy is clearly indicating to Whis that he doesnt have what it takes to prepare mentally from week to week. His comments would be different otherwise.

The "We Want Josh" chants a few years back made me question whether I was living in a dream or reality.

I think Warner will end up the starter after the next game, two or three series for Matt and it'll be over, unless he does well.

I don't expect he will, Pittsburg is largely more of the same team the Ravens are.

I expect Warner to play this year after that game and he should, it won't kill Matt to learn he has to compete for the job, may the best guy start if Matt can't fend off Warner he's not the best guy and that's that.

Look, I love Matt but that's not a good decision.

I think it's relatively easy to come off the bench and play well.

But the difference in the passing game with KW in there was just mind-boggling.

The one drive was like sixty yards in two plays.

And then we still lost.

I feel so weird right now.

We do want Kurt though... It was a different team with him on the field. too much politics in football because Kurt Warner should be our starter at least for this season.

I agree. But acting like monkeys is unbecoming.

I think based on today Warner should probably start but given his injury history it wouldn't be for the season it would be until he got hurt again. that's not a wanting him to get hurt comment, it's a reality of his career comment.

But no question he was way better than matt today. I'm sure Whiz will have a quick hook against the Steelers which is personally why I'd start Kurt. Easier to go with the hot hand than go with the struggling young guy who will almost unavoidably be looking over his shoulder. Matt can learn a lot from watching warner during the week and on the sideline.

You know, no pressure, just go out there and let it rip. Nothing to lose, and that's the way KW played.

Especially a vetran like KW. He has all that experience, and he gets to watch the game from the sideline for a while. Then he gets to go out and execute.

Finally, the defense didn't game plan for him.

Matt is struggling and having a hard time finding the open receiver. Keeping Matt as the QB will destroy the teams motivation. What happened to starting the best players? Everyone knows the offense was better with Kurt.
