I'm not sure if he was given a fair shake in any of those QB controversies.



HOF QB's dont need a fair shake. They stay on one team for a while, win, and play good.

His ups and downs just reiterate the overall lack of respect he's gotten over his career.



for nearly 5 years worth of games..??

he fizzled out at the end of his career his STL...had he been THAT good, then he is still a St Louis Ram.


He was 0-7 in this last games a Ram...Marc Bulger with the same team went 6-1 after taking over, then 12-3 the next year as a full time starter.

Tom Brady has jewelry...a lot of it


He has been to 3 super bowls to Brady's 4. I think that Warner's three appearances rank as some of the best by a quarterback all time. It is kind of stupid to hold the jewelry argument against him.

Teams like the Rams, Giants, and Cards did not feel the pressure to start a HOF QB?

The Giants and Cardinals felt the pressure to start their $50 million dollar high draft pick investments. This and only this is the reason Warner didn't start at NYG or Arizona early. If you think otherwise then you're a douche.

It absolutely has nothing to do with the better QB playing...or Warner "losing" out in a QB battle. Only a handful of QBs drafted in top 10 in the past 10 years didn't start the majority of their games their first year (JRuss obviously one of them, missed the majority of training camp that first year)

Though he did only fumble it 4 times, something he has had a problem with his whole career.

Not to mention if you go look at Trent Green's #'s for the games he filled in for Warner, they are pretty close. Just another piece of evidence in the he was surrounded by great players argument

Notice this was through 11 games. That's a 5000 yard pace and 30 TDs. Sure that's a lot of high INTs, but you'll see plenty of QBs in the HOF with a year or two of high INT numbers.

Great but we don't give out awards and HOF inductions for paces. You've got to be on the field to be productive, and even though it was injuries he still wasn't on the field.

Oh yea...obviously...I guess that's why when he actually got the chance to start he put up 27 TDs and 17 INTs it just goes to show the pressure of starting your high draft pick investments. Nothing to do with being good or not.

no shite...but you originally stated that was a mediocre season. In no way can that production through 11 games be considered mediocre...

again, just to clarify, you are saying that this is an average year:

You're really going to say a season is mediocre because he got injured? so Jordan plays 60 games and averages 30 PPG and then misses rest of season due to injuries, and you're going to call that mediocre, because he doesn't have as many total points that season as someone who averages 20 points? That's pretty ridiculous. I mean, I guess you can do that, but that's probably the most retarded way to look at things...

I mean, Montana probably had like 3 total seasons where he had more than 3500 yards...so even by your mediocre standards, that's still a lot.

I'm saying 3500 yards, 21 TDs, and 18 INTS, especially compared to his great years, is average.

LoL so now you're comparing those totals that he put up in 11 games, to 2 of the greatest seasons in NFL history, and saying those totals are average?

Oh dear...not even Lester will stick up for your arguments
