Kurt Warner Enters Hall Of Fame Again!



Last year as the Arizona Cardinals were making their run to the Super Bowl there was a lot of debate if Kurt Warner should be in the NFL Hall of Fame. Well have no fear Kurt Warner has now been selected to the Hall of Fame 5 times! Last week Kurt Warner set an NFL record by going 24-of-26 for a 92.3 completion rate against the Jacksonville Jaguars, beating the previous mark set by Vinny Testaverde of the Cleveland Browns back in 1993. Testaverde was 21-of-23. Kurt's jersey and a football from that game will now be placed in an exhibit within the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton Ohio. Kurt already has four other items in the Hall of Fame from his previous feats:

Game ball signed by Kurt from Super Bowl XXXIV victory over the Tennessee Titans
Kurt's game worn jersey from Super Bowl XXXIV
Kurt’s game worn jersey and a football from game against the San Diego Chargers on Oct. 1, 2000 when he became the second QB in history to record a perfect passer rating of 158.3 twice!
Kurt’s game worn jersey and the football he threw against the N.Y. Giants on Nov. 23, 2008 when he reached the 40,000 yard mark of his pro career (includes NFL Europe, Arena Football, and NFL passing yards).

There is no doubt or debate Kurt Warner is a NFL Hall of Fame QB. Kurt will surpass the 30,000 yard mark by midseason this year and that should be the last stat needed.
