The film seems to point to Mariucci as the bad guy releasing Warner with GB but Holmgren took the blame on talkoffamenetwork.(miss commenting to those great writers) Warner benefitted because he wouldn't have played with Favre there anyway and had to win over Brenda who seemed to want to drive him away in the movie.Brian wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176802893733052733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958997061437462003.post-31576099505076544672022-01-22T09:03:26.573-07:002022-01-22T09:03:26.573-07:00Ken Whisenhunt took over as HC in 2007 for Ariz an...Ken Whisenhunt took over as HC in 2007 for Ariz and installed Leinart as his starting QB. Warner took over later and finished the season with a 5-6 record. Either way, Warner was 13-29 since the 2002 season as a starter before his great 2008 season.Brian wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176802893733052733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958997061437462003.post-8755984340376114762022-01-22T00:00:54.562-07:002022-01-22T00:00:54.562-07:00He was replaced by Manning but Manning absolutely ...He was replaced by Manning but Manning absolutely did not beat him out for a job neither did Leinart.

Warner was replaced by Eli Manning during the season in NY and Leinart was chosen over Warner in Arizona. Only an injury to Leinart allowed Warner to come in but he made the most of it and took them to the SB. Yes, Manning and Leinart were #1 picks but Warner should have gotten more benefit of a doubt but with thumb problems, he had to prove he could stay healthy. From 2002 - 2007 Warner's starting record was only 13-29 but once he took over the starting job in ARI, the team gathered momentum which resulted in successful years for Warner in 2008 and 2009.Brian wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176802893733052733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958997061437462003.post-79693073691533749162022-01-21T03:16:57.174-07:002022-01-21T03:16:57.174-07:00Who beat out Warner?

As for the Rams, Marc Bulger took over after Warner was injured and then Bulger kept the job for a while due to good play. Did those two ever have a legit competition where Bulger was declared the winner?Big Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14200247221382918091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958997061437462003.post-43115879395668503522022-01-19T10:21:56.000-07:002022-01-19T10:21:56.000-07:00Jim has a point.

Kurt had to prove himself time and again but what a success story !<br /><br />As for Paquin's looks and acting talent, I would buy that for a dollar, though Brenda to me, looks more Italian-American, though she may not be.

That QB draw was ridiculous.<br /><br />With another blowout loss, Mike Tomlin's Steelers have been outscored 171-117 in their last four consecutive postseason losses. Why is he not on the hot seat, especially with a HOF QB ?<br />I wonder if Doug Pederson could inspire the team more ?Brian wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176802893733052733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958997061437462003.post-27960692526701210392022-01-18T14:58:24.331-07:002022-01-18T14:58:24.331-07:00Please explain ...Please explain ...Jeffrey J.
