should the Fins make a play for warner

As the days of FA wind down, Arizona is still playing hard to get with their Super Bowl QB... (would anyone expect less from Arizona and the Bidwells)...

Since this Admin is stuck on the idea that they need a caretaker QB to lead the team until some day in the future when they'll feel the need to right the leading cause of mediocrity for the franchise the last 10 years.... (no long term solution at the most important position on the field....

Is it time to make a play for the 3x superbowl QB....

the move has the following positive...

the team gets to trade Pennington (most likely for something in the late 2nd to 3rd round pick)

the team gets a QB who just lead a team to the superbow and has been to 2 others....(when was the last time the phins had a superbowl QB)

the team gets a strong armed QB who can get the ball deep - something that T Ginn hasn't had the last 2 years. and with the strong arm it has the additional positives... Warner is a good play action QB as teams have to respect his deep threat arm and T Ginns spead which means the safties have to play deeper... which opens up the inside running lanes for R Brown... so warner opens up a deep passing game AND improves the running game.

Warner has shown himself to be a great mentor to young QB's, unlike penne who reports indicated turned the team against K Clemmens, not only says PC things but actually LIVES and ACTs by those words.

now the only negatives i see... signing warner will cost a heck of a lot more and likely will eat up any remaing cap space and maybe some more...

Warner has a history of getting hurt and playing poorly (but then so does penne)

No thank you, Mrs. Cleaver. I really must be getting home. We're having squab this evening.

What about pasta & noodles as one/two more entree’s? Then we can go to Henne and feast like Wally?

Sorry, better qualify...

Henne is a restaurant in Berlin.

                               And we all know who Wally is? Right?

LOL

  I gotta give you props……….I mean……you’re just so bullheaded and diehard when it comes to the Pennington question. NO WAY IN HELL do we take Warner! I just put a post up that was totally in jest and to be funny, and you know what? I think your’s is way better! LOL You need to do what every good Casino kid in Las Vegas does…….“DEAL WITH IT” Pennington is here until Henne outplays him and takes the spot. That the way it is…… With Sparano saying that Henne would have been our starter, had the Pennington not happened, gives me some belief that the Triumverata ( I agree this is cooler than Trifecta) knows what the hell they are doing. WNY…..you are awesome, and this board wouldn’t be the same without you. lol

i am dealing with it

yup – i know these guys will never play henne and i’m stuck with a caretaker until they go….. (heck that statue Bledsoe would still be starting in dallas had JJ not intervened)….

so what i’m proposing is upgrading the Caretaker – it’s not Penne vs Henne …. it’s Caretaker vs. Caretaker (a good one who lead 3 teams to the superbowl to one who watched one once)…

If we have to have one lets at least get a good one.

Eh-

he has got a better arm than Penne- but its not like he has a rocket arm. I just get the feeling at his age, his deep ball doesn’t look quite the same if its not Fitz going up to get it. As far as mentoring- I haven’t seen anything reported other than him helping out both Henne and Beck. If he turned anyone against Clemmens, all I can say is – haha! I hope you have to use another draft pick on a QB.

Plus Warner wants like $12-14 mill a year. Then again. . . he does like Tim Tebow. . .

lol- no

I mean he is a fan of Tim Tebow. LOL – I just read a story about Warner calling him about some charity work and just offering some advice.

If he likes my boy Tebow he’s OK in my book ;)

is he a future Dolphin though?

Warner is a faith based QB, and so is Tebow……….no problems with that. I love the fact that Warner prayed for long hair for his wife………I mean, in the Rams days when she was sportin’ the “East German Swimmer” look, it was kinda creepy………the power of prayer will provide results……..it may not be a Super Bowl, but you’re wife won’t look so creepy on t.v. and make the Rosie O’Donnells wet themselves.

So what you're saying

is if he got the wife to look “less Creepy” that maybe he can connect with Becky and teach him not to fumble every third snap???

so it would be a 3 for none move – get rid of penne (positive) get a superbowl QB (positive) and turn a blown 2nd round draft pick into something less of a mess?

welcome aboard doggie.

I really

have to assume you are joking when you say Warner can teach somebody NOT to fumble?

yeah bad joke

kind of liked it myself – figured there both faith guys they both have issues holding onto the ball and if warner is able to perform a miricale why not get becky to hold onto the football.

by W NY Fins Fan on Mar 3, 2009 1:14 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

well that was his PR in NYJ land too

until KC took over and then him and his BFF coles spit the team…
heck BFF was still crying about not having pasta everyday at the end of last year….
and rumors suggest it’s one of the reasons he gave up 6 mil to walk.

deep breath my friend

I certainly don’t want you banned to relax….

let me throw a couple numbers at you 32-29 yup career regular season record of the great one…. 2-4 in the playoffs
after all of his greatness, why is he a 500 QB? why can’t he win in the playoffs? because he has great limitations – ie a weak arm – or more exactly he is unable to make some of the throws needed to suceed in the NFL.

as to my opinion – well, I think everyone around here BUT you knows i’ve been saying that they should be playing Henne, Beck, or some kid QB at Aquinas High who has a chance to be a franchise QB….. but the issue of caretaker vs playing the future isn’t the debate here….

the point is this coaching staff is committed to playing veteran QB’s (not my belief for this franchise but if i have to live another few years with it then) why not get a quality starting QB instead of a mediocre one.

as to the receivers – don’t know – they look pretty good to me…. they run good routes, have good hands and make tough catches. T ginn is often open and in single coverage once he get 15-20 yards down field (why do you think that is – the single coverage)….

as to your quotes – i only ask – what are they suppose to say – hey penne sucks – i’m much better then him and if Sparano didn’t hate rookies we’d be starting? and if you want me to diminish your quotes further …. i’ll go dig up what VC and goodman use to say about Cleo Lemon….

how’d you do that and why is it in the middle of my fan post….

by W NY Fins Fan on Mar 3, 2009 1:18 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Fair enough, I agree with you in everything football wise, what i

mean by the quotes and everything is that this is a sport were leadership and intangibles mean so much for these guys. You can measure arm strength but you cant measure heart. And sometimes in the huddle, these guys will pick a guy that will have their backs everytime anywhere over the awesome athlete. Bottomline, I think Chad is much more important to this team that we could ever imagine. He isnt just a mentor on the field, he is also a mentor off the field, conducts bible sessions in his house for teammates, a lot of them which grew up to be troubled guys with drug and family issues. And at the end of the day, I trully believe football has a deeper meaning that W and L, and when there is a guy that can bring that to a team, to an organization and to a fan base overall I am going to love every part of it. When I have a kid I wont tell him about the guy who could throw the 60 yarder or the 5 yard bullet, I´ll tell him about that cindirella story in which a bunch of nobodies, from a noodle arm QB to an undrafted ex convict to a walk on at stanford, just made it happen. Just made it happen

I agree with you 100% about Chad!!!

I would love to win a Superbowl with him!!!!!

I will always support him as long as they let him play!!!!

He was one of the big reasons for turnaround last season!!!!

And no one can deny it!!!

Sure he could have done better in the playoffs, but enough negativity. Time to look forward

like to elaborate

or are you just blocking up the river?

by W NY Fins Fan on Mar 3, 2009 1:16 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Couple a' things

1. He’s might be a bit pricey.
2. Kurt Warner said he liked it Arizona and was hoping to stay.
3. We got Penne/Henne!! It’s good at QB right now.

You can’t be serious we have the two Chads and not to mention Warner is looking for around 15-16 mill a year no way

read the post my friend

signing warner would allow the team to TRADE penne…

so you’d get a better/more talented starter and and extra draft pick.
