There's a lot of discussion about if Kurt Warner is a Hall of Famer or not. I don't see any kind of debate. He is!
How does this grab ya? He owns the three best passing games in Super Bowl history and owns the Super Bowl record for passing yards in a career. He did that in three games and not the four that guys like Terry Bradshaw, Joe Montana, Jim Kelly and Tom Brady ... or the five that John Elway played in.
That ain't the only records he owns. His 2009 postseason successes with the Arizona Cardinals was historic. He threw for more yards and TDs than anyone in any postseason. He has the highest completion percentage in NFL playoff history. He has the highest rate of 300+ yard games (minimum 100 games). Only player ever to throw for at least 14,000 yards with two different franchises ... and he joins only Fran Tarkenton as a QB to pass for at least 100 TDs with two different teams. He's in a tie with Steve Young and Rich Gannon for most consecutive games passing for at least 300 yards (that's six straight games).
He owns the highest passing yard average in Monday Night Football history. He's also the only QB to pass for at least 40 TDs and go on to win the Super Bowl.
Oh, yeah. He has won one Super Bowl and been to two more. He's only the second QB to start a Super Bowl for two different franchises. He has two MVP awards and a Super Bowl MVP award. I haven't even began to talk about the fact that this cat came out of nowhere to do all of this.
Sure, you can come back with the fact that the middle part of his career was garbage. You are right. But his first three full seasons and last three full seasons were as good as it gets.
