After Such A Strange Career, Does Warner Deserve To Be In The Hall?
There’s no doubt that Kurt Warner has had one of the most unique career paths of any player in the NFL. After going un-drafted, Warner played in the Arena League and NFL Europe before finally getting his chance to succeed in the NFL. While Warner had a tremendous start to his career, he quickly crashed down to earth just a few seasons later. In 2003, Warner was benched in favor of Marc Bulger. It appeared his time as an NFL starting quarterback was over. After years of rotating between a starter and a backup, Warner finally got another chance in 2007. With Matt Leinart struggling, Warner replaced the young quarterback and looked like the Warner of old. Since 2007, Warner has thrown 77 touchdowns*. With a strong finish to his career, is Kurt Warner a Hall Of Famer?

Andre Smith Can Buy a Lot of Donuts With That Money
Well, it took quite some time, but Andre Smith is finally at Bengals Camp. This leaves Michael Crabtree as the only 1st round rookie that remains unsigned. Crabtree, picked 10th overall by the 49ers was supposed to have a major impact as a rookie this season. With the Pre-Season almost over, it doesn’t appear that Crabtree will be on the field any time soon. The 49ers have, supposedly, offered Crabtree a contract that is on par with what the 10th pick in the draft should make, but Crabtree is still holding out for more money. There have even been rumors that Crabtree may sit out the entire season if he and the 49ers cannot get a deal done. Meanwhile, Crabtree is losing valuable practice and conditioning hours…not to mention millions of dollars. What the hell is Crabtree thinking?
