Quarterback potential
Once again, not the Pro Football Discussion Board, but let's say that we're flying together right now. Therefore, since the thread began with a poll on crewmember cockpit chats, in that spirit we can continue discussing football as if we were on a trip.
I agree. Kurt Warner had to play NFL Europe and Arena ball to gain experience, while stocking shelves at the HiVee. The important thing is he learned a lot, I'd say in particular, in the Arena League. Look at the Rams' offense. It's like Arena ball, only bigger. And that dome in St. Louis is like a bigger Arena auditorium. Warner took what he learned and look how he runs that offense.
It's something like professional aviation. Compare it to Kurt Warner. He needed to gain experience AND LEARN. He paid his dues; I'm sure the Arena League doesn't pay that well. Some of the younger guys don't understand that. Perhaps they are great sticks, but they still need experience.
