Kurt Warner Retires

If you have not read any of Kurt Warners books I highly recommend them because they are about a man that put his faith in God first and let the chips fall as they may. A true Rocky story as a grocery store worker became a hall of fame quality quarterback. His life story and what he has done in the NFL is remarkable.

He came to a St. Louis Rams team that was the laughing stock of the NFL at the time, but they had been acquiring pieces to make a run. Trent Green was the quarterback that would try to take them in the right direction. The train fell off the tracks when Green got injured but that gave Warner the shot he needed. He took that Rams team and won the Superbowl, they would go on to play for another but lose.

Coming into the league at 27 years of age does not make it likely for a long stay, when done with the Rams he had a short stint with the Giants before moving onto another laughing stock of the NFL the Arizona Cardinals.

The Cards had never been to a Superbowl but Warner lead them there last year, and without a couple miracle plays by the Steelers they sure would have won that game.

A man that brought hope to anyone that has heard his story, Kurt Warner I believe one day you will be a hall of famer because the stats show you should, you have a ring, and you brought hope to so many people.

  1. Hey man I love your post on Kurt Warner. He is a legened for his play on the football field because he played with class and 100 percent every time. He will be a Hall of Famer! He has the three highest rated passing games in Superbowl history. He took two franchises that were in the dumb too Superbowls. He was also the NFL MVP twice and lead the two highest powered offenses this decade.
    I also loved that you showed how Kurt is a man of faith and played football the right way! But I also feel you could make your post stronger by providing some of Kurt's stats and accomplishments in the NFL. Because with stats you look more credible but in all I love your posts and can see your knowledge of football and sports. Keep it up and continue to show your for the NFL and football in general man!!!
