Kurt Warner is contemplating his future – and not just in Arizona.
According to several media sources – including the Miami Herald – Warner is considering calling it a day all together on his NFL career after being benched two weeks ago for rookie Matt Leinart.
”Definitely I’m thinking about my next step and what’s best for me and all those things,” he said.
”We’ll sit down at the end of the year and see the way things are going,” Warner said.
One side of me feels bad that this guy. Warner used to be a grocery-bagger for a supermarket before finally getting a shot in the NFL. He takes St. Louis to two Super Bowls (winning one of them) and then gets replaced by Marc Bulger. He heads to New York and the Giants draft Eli Manning. He winds up in Arizona and the Cardinals draft Leinart.
But the other side of me (the side of me that dominates this subject) is screaming – ‘fine Warner, get out of the league!’ I mean seriously, you’ve had your day in the sun my friend – get out and stop whining every season that you’re getting passed over. Does Warner forget that he got a shot when Trent Green got hurt? Do you hear Green complain every season that he should have been the one leading the Rams offensive attack to the Super Bowl? No, because Green has taken his production to Kansas City and continues to perform.
You haven’t been good for some time now Warner. You wonder how yet another rookie replaced you? Try the 47 interceptions, 56 fumbles and 97 injuries that you’ve given the team that signs your paychecks over the past couple of years if you’re really looking for answers.
At least we won’t have to see your wife in the stands during your games if you decide to retire.
