ballot hall of famer. I am deeply saddened by the recent news that sources close to Warner say his next loss may be his last as an NFL Quarterback. The Cardinals are a playoff contender, fending off the Green Bay Packers today, in an offensive showdown today. The Cardinals won 51-45, in a career game for the 38-year-old. He threw for 379 yards, five touchdowns passes, and no interceptions. I have heard of great players wanting to retire at the top, as opposed to sticking around the league for years, and waiting for their skill to regress to the point where they can no longer compete like the superstar that athlete used to be. Walking out on the game early,when playing at a superstar level, leaves the player feeling satisfied. That may be Warner's mind set, but this game against the Packers showcased as good of a Warner as we have ever seen. Warner just led his Cardinals to the Super Bowl last season where they lost to the Steelers. He is simply not playing like a Quarterback that needs to face the end of his career. Earlier on this season Warner suffered a concussion that may have first made Warner question whether he should play another season. Do you think if the Cardinals don't win the Super Bowl this season Warner should change his mind and stick around for next season? Even if they do win it all, is he really ready to go?
