Color me unimpressed. Not only do I have Warner low in PPG heading into 2006, I don't have him playing over 10 games either. This guy has strugged to throw more than 1 TD pass a game the last two seasons. An improved running game generally only benefits the RBs, not the QB.

I can see him being more efficient, and getting better drives because of the improved O, but I can't see this guy throwing more than 24 TDs.

 
KRS, I think the key is how you stated it... "Start AND FINISH". He's the modern day Chris Chandler or Jim Miller, only with more talent surrounding him.

I'm personally going with 9-12. I've not yet done the Arizona projections myself yet, but I'll probably peg him somewhere in the high-side of that range.

LHUCKS and Jason Wood both touched on Warner in the rankings thread. I think his PPG potential is great, obviously, but the risk/reward is not so great even with Matt Leinart as the likely handcuff for the ARI QB. I think Warner won't match his PPG from 2005 and given the near certainty of him not playing 16 games, I know I probably won't draft him unless he's begging to be drafted in a later round where his value is undeniable.

 
Warner is going to put up good #'s this year. He is as good as anyone given a decent amount of time and with the weapons he has LOOK OUT. He is going to be in his second year with AZ so his timing with the WR should only improve.

With a real running game threat the Olonie will be much improved in the passing game as teams will have to honor the run as well.

To assume Warner is a lock to be injured is nieve. Fred Taylor had a few years in a row where injured but has had healthy seasons since. IMO Warner will be a top five qb this year and has as good of a chance to stay healthy as any other qb not named Farve or Peyton Manning.

 
Yeah, it's tough to predict that Warner will be injured because there were years where he wasn't at all, and years where he has been injured. I usually give players the benefit of the doubt though.

As for as the numbers he'll put up, don't be surprised if he starts looking like the Kurt Warner who ran the Greatest Show On Turf. I know, people have been saying that for a while now, but I think it may actually happen this time....since after 2001, he's either been injured, or just in a bad situation on weak offenses. You see, Kurt Warner is not the type of QB who can BE your offense, which is the reason the Giants and Arizona brought him in for at first. He's the QB who you need to surround with talent, but when you do, he'll take advantage of it all and light up the world.

Now that he has similiar talent around him to what he had in St. Louis, I could see him throwing for 4,000 yards and 30 TD's, providing the line does a good job...

 
Warner is going to be just fine. He has a ton of talent. He always goes for big yards and edge will do the dirty work in the red. I have no problem with Warners capabilities to help this team get to the post season this year, but Dallas will be tough to role by.

 
My initial thought was 12-13, then I saw that these two numbers were on the edge of two categories... so I went with 9-12, as I see that more likely than 13-16. Odds are good he'll get knocked out of 1-2 games and miss another 1-2 entirely, imo. Will Leinart be ready? If so, he could potentially take over by midseason and never look back.

 
With the Leinart holdout looking to be a long one, I doubt that Leinart will replace Warner due to performance.

Navarre will likely be the #2 and Leinart #3. Unless the Cards are way out of it late in the season, Leinart will probably not see the field in year 1. Which I think means the Cards have to hold out for a 6 year deal - since year 1 will essentially be a waste due to the holdout.

 
Everyone should factor in Warner only starting 9-12 games. This will impact the stats for Fitz and Boldin as Ariz does not have a solid backup QB this year. People thinking Ariz will have a better running game should consider the Ariz line has not improved from last year. The best running back can't gain any yards if they're getting hit the back field.

that's pretty much my take on it. i don't think he'll make it past 8 games as a starter though. once the playoffs are out of reach, with leinart holding out, navarre will take the reins for a few games. leinart might take the field but won't start more than 2-3 games.
 
If he were to somehow take over the starting job right now, he'd finish @ 11 starts.

I'm thinking he's done for the season barring injury to Leinart.

The unofficial, official total is 4.

4 people may get up and take a bow. :bowtie:
