- Vote: Would you rather entrust a team to Sean Payton or Ken Whisenhunt?
- Rank 'Em: Where does Kurt Warner rank among playoff quarterbacks?
What do Warren Moon, Jim Kelly, Drew Bledsoe and Boomer Esiason all have in common? Each one threw more touchdown passes in the NFL than Kurt Warner has entering Saturday's playoff game against the Saints in New Orleans. What does Warner have that those quarterbacks don't? SportsNation's overwhelming support as the best of the bunch.
If reports are right, the next loss for the Cardinals will be the last game of Warner's NFL career. SportsNation has had a bit of a rocky relationship with Warner. Just two years ago, voters rated him the NFL's No. 19 quarterback, behind illustrious names like Derek Anderson and Jon Kitna. But as Warner's numbers soared in the desert, so did his support.
Nobody makes a living beating Brett Favre and Peyton Manning in popularity contests, but when it comes to which of the three quarterbacks voters would most like to see win a second Super Bowl title, Warner is in what amounts to a statistical dead heat.

Drew, it's been a real pleasure watching Kurt Warner ressurect the Cardinals out here. Where do you think he ranks among the best QBs playing now? Of all-time?
Drew Bennett
I think a lot of Kurt Warner's legacy depends on how he finishes out this year. Right now, I think he's a top 10 QB of all time, but not top 5. If he can add one more championship to his resume, then I think he should be talked about in the top 5 QBs. As far as this season, I think he's the fourth best QB, behind Peyton, Brees and Favre.Full transcript

Do the saints have anyone that can cover Larry Fitzgerald he should have a great game against the saints
Gary Horton
I'm concerned about the Saints' overall defense down the stretch. I think some of it has to do with the pass rush that's not up to par and that exposes the back end. You can't jam Fitzgerald and you can't really double him because they can use bunch formations to spread the field. I think in this game both of these defenses are worried about their sub packages, because of the offense's ability to take you deeper than your personnel will allow you to go. Full transcript
“From a Saints perspective I am worried they are still dragging there feet. They limped in the playoffs pretty much, are they going to get it together for this game. No doubt they are the better team, but as we have seen in the past the best team does not always win. For that fan base I would like them to win this game to host a NFC championship game.

“If Warner is protected the Cardinals have a legit shot at winning this game cause Warner is absolutely amazing in the playoffs.
