Kurt Warner Retires: Time For Leinart To Step Up?

Just recently, Kurt Warner stepped up to the podium to announce his retirement. Kurt Warner spent his career with three different teams; which were the Rams, Cardinals, and the Giants. Warner passed for a 65.5 completion percentage, 208 touchdowns and 128 interceptions along 32,344 yards. Sounds like a great career!

Now that Warner is retired, it’s time for Matt Leinart to step up. The Cardinals have great feelings for him, but with Warner gone, you can expect that they have a chance of not making the playoffs, or if they do make it, it won’t be that far.

Matt Leinart didn’t have the best few seasons as a starter passing for 14 touchdowns and 20 interceptions with 3,893 yards and a 70.8 rating. Not the greatest. You might want to also point out that Arizona is not a running team, either, and they need to rely a bit more on Leinart with the pass.

My prediction? The Cardinals may really suffer for a few years with Warner gone.

Chapter Three To The Favre Dillemma?

After the Vikings suffered a loss to the Saints to end their season, chapter three of the Favre dilemma had started. No. 4 waited four months last season to sign with the Vikings, making his decision after training camp. I can see why.

His dilemma started in 2007 when he retired. When he unretired, Ted Thompson said he could stay but as a backup to Aaron Rodgers. Favre demanded a trade, and his wish was granted: he fell to the New York Jets. After one month when the season was over,  he retired and was released by the Jets.

Then, as his story continued, he unretired again and Minnesota was involved right away.  After four months, he flew to Minnesota and signed a two year contract. And played this past season for Minnesota, taking them to the NFC Championship, loosing to the Saints.

Now will he come back? I guess we will have to wait and find out!
