Kurt Warner Rumors & News

Ever wonder why and how The Pittsburgh Steelers' smaller wide receivers always seemed to be wide open? Or how it was possible for Kurt Warner's Arizona Cardinals to have such a potent aerial attack without ever having elite tackles? I attribute a lot of it to Ken Whisenhunt and what he does out of the "Stack Formation". By stacking Wide Receivers, whether mirrored on both sides or not, San Diego Chargers Offensive Coordinator Ken Whisenhunt looks to accomplish the following: Protect the Quarterback:Quick and effective combination routes places the QB in a position to utilize instinct...

If there is something that fans and the media cannot seem to get away from, it is making comparisons to Arizona Cardinals starting quarterback Carson Palmer and former Arizona QB Kurt Warner. Heck, even Palmer himself can;t help it. In an LA Times feature on Palmer, who played collegiate ball at USC, also sees the same comparisons between he and Warner, who led the Cardinals to the Super Bowl and a pair of division titles before retiring from football. "I can't help but look at what Kurt did," said Palmer, 33. "He was later on in his career. It was a young team. He had made a couple ...

Kurt Warner has never shied away from expressing his feelings publicly about the St. Louis Rams' loss to the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVI and Spygate. He shared those feelings again this week making the rounds publicizing his entry into the reality television canon. Warner talked about it with 411Mania.com (H/t to Mike Freeman at CBS): Being that it was a part of the history of our game and it was directly part of my history, part of the history of my organization and my teammates, and possibly could have affected my career long term, you have a question; did something go on? But I do...

The trade for Carson Palmer that the Arizona Cardinals made has elicited feelings of excitement, hope and some are doubtful. CBS Sports' Pete Prisco thinks that the naysayers should change their mind in his recent breakdown of the former Raider and Bengal. According to Prisco, the Cardinals "have a legitimate starter for the first time since Kurt Warner." Something interesting note is that Prisco was one man among very few who liked when the Arizona Cardinals signed Warner many years ago. He notes that Palmer had as many touchdown passes as Joe Flacco in two less games, despite "a revo...

The Cardinals' trade this week for quarterback Carson Palmer prompted comparisons, most of them unfavorable, to the last time they acquired a plus-30 on the downside of his career. Apparently, most of us knew instantly the day Kurt Warner agreed to terms, March 6, 2005, that the Cardinals fortunes had taken a hairpin turn.

For the most part, the response to the trade that brought quarterback Carson Palmer to the Arizona Cardinals has been positive. There is some talk that it is a bad move, but overall people are happy with the move. Perhaps the play at quarterback since Kurt Warner retired makes any signing feel good. Since everyone else is weighing in, here are my thoughts on the move. Is Carson Palmer the answer? i don't know. I don't think so. He is a better answer. Look. he threw for over 4000 yards and 22 touchdowns. The four QBs that played for Arizona a season ago combined for about 3300 yards ...

Arizona Cardinals fans love football, love Kurt Warner and I bet that a ton of us love Madden the video game. Fans get to vote for the cover of the 25th anniversary cover of the game -- Madden 25.

Through March 27, we can go and vote for Warner, who is matched up against former New York Giants defensive lineman Michael Strahan. Vote here. We already know that Cardinals fans are few and far between around the nation. That means we have to try a little harder to try and get him moved o...
