Kurt Warner Retires

NEW ORLEANS - JANUARY 16:  Quarterback Kurt Warner #13 of the Arizona Cardinals looks on as he stands on the field after their 45-14 loss against the New Orleans Saints during the NFC Divisional Playoff Game at Louisana Superdome on January 16, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
This comes as a shocker to no one who heard he was calling a press conference for Friday on Wednesday. That's not to say there's some kinda weird correlation between those 2 days, but you don't call a press conference to announce you're coming back.

So this it for good ol' Kurt. What a career. Its a shame the first few days of his retirement are already being mired with possibly the stupid question you can ask concerning the NFL today, aka "Is Kurt Warner a Hall Of Famer??"

Uhhh, duh! Of course he is! I mean, of course he has a great story, but look at the man's resume:
  • 2-time NFL MVP
  • Super Bowl XXXIV winner and MVP
  • Second QB in NFL history to lead 2 different teams to a Super Bowl
  • Third in career passer rating in NFL history
  • Fastest player in NFL history to reach 10,000 passing yards
  • Owns the top 3 passing performances in Super Bowl history
  • Owns the record for most passing yards in a postseason (1,156)
  • Second best passing yards per game average in NFL history (260.8), 0.3 yards behind Peyton Manning (261.1)
  • Third highest single season passing yards total (4,830), behind only Dan Marino (5,084) and Drew Brees (5,069)
If that's not a Hall Of Fame resume, I don't know what is, hence "Is Kurt Warner a Hall Of Famer?" being top 5 single dumbest questions asked pertaining to the NFL.
