When you think of Kurt Warner, naturally, the first professional football team you think of (and you should) is the St. Louis Rams, but he did enough in Arizona to extend his legacy and gain an eventual spot in Canton.

Warner signed with Arizona after a year with the Giants, and his first campaign in the desert was disappointing, as Jake McCown even replaced him as the starter for two Games.  The year after was much of the same, as rookie Matt Leinart took over as starter for a few Games, but when Warner was on, he was still terrific.

After a better 2007, Warner was electric in 2008, having turned back the hands of time.  He went to his first Pro Bowl in years, won the UPI MVP, and took the Cards to their first Super Bowl.  Arizona lost, but Warner had a phenomenal postseason, and they would not have been this close without him.  After one more good year, Warner retired on his own terms.

Warner entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017, and we will argue that the 2008 Season with the Cards put him over the hump.  Arizona honored Warner with an induction to their Ring of Honor in 2014.
