Kurt Warner

Kurt Warner is holding a press conference tomorrow and I assume it is to retire. And I actually hope it is for him to retire.

I have absolutely loved watching this guy perform for the last decade but with all the concussions he has had it is the right time to walk away. There is no sense coming back again next year and risking some permanent damage to himself. And I think he is one of the few guys out there smart enough to realize it.

I don't think there is any questions that Warner is a Hall of Famer, not with the numbers he put up in St. Louis, including a Super Bowl win and another appearance, and with the Cards ,which included taking the worst franchise in the league to the Super Bowl (that in itself is H of F worthy). Above all else this guy has been an incredible story. He came out of the Arena League and worked his ass off every day. He is a great family man who has never had any kind of trouble off the field. He was always a fantastic teammate in a league full of bad ones and nobody in the NFL has ever had anything bad to say about him. And above all else he never developed the ego or God complex that other high-profile QBs developed. He was a class act and the NFL will miss him a lot.
