It is a bit annoying seeing all of Kurt Warner's highlights or clips coming from his time with the Cardinals. He won a Super Bowl with us. Had he not won that, I don't even know if he would be considered for the hall of fame. Screw the Cards.
You know I started this thread, so I am glad a Cardinal Super Bowl win quarterbacked by Kurt didn't happen. Part of the Kurt Warner story is, however, coming back from oblivion in his later years to take a woeful franchise in the desert to the Super Bowl and almost win it. He had mad success with the Ram's, but it seemed that it was over for him when he went to the Giants..then Eli started and Kurt was soon gone to Arizona to back up a 1st round pick Matt Leinhart. He was hired to be the next Kellen Clemmens (think about that). Somewhere along the line a trainer found him a glove to throw with, and off he went, transforming that franchise.
Therefore it is fair to say that without that resurgence by Kurt in Arizona, he would just be an interesting story and only a borderline HOfer...one that probably doesn't make it. Now, the Super Bowl win and the original story in St Louis is the main part of his resume, but the Cardinal part is the topper
