Warner: I'm still me

Kurt Warner had a great career with the Rams. Then he came to the Giants for a few weeks (a whole season, actually, before rookie Eli Manning took over). Now he's resurrecting his career with the Cardinals and is once again in conversations about being an MVP and prompting some serious discussions about Hall of Fame worthiness.

So what happened when he was off the radar?

"I think I'm the same guy I have always been," he said. "I just think people forgot that for a minute."

Good line.

"I think when you get cut by a team that you have won two MVPs with and gone to two Super Bowls with, there is automatically something there that people question. 'Well, obviously, what is wrong with him? Why would that happen? It doesn’t happen.' And then going to New York and getting the feeling like I played pretty good football for those nine games but then getting replaced by a young guy. People again are saying, 'Well, okay, what is wrong with this guy? He put up the numbers that he did when he won the MVP and now you get benched for a young guy. Okay, obviously this guy isn’t the same guy that we expected before.'

"I don’t think anything has happened other than an opportunity has arisen here with the pieces in place for me to play football the way I play football. And to have the ball in my hands and to throw the football around and to be able to make decisions and to be able to win games throwing the football. And with that has come the success that I have had the last couple of years."
