ROTB Community Projections 2009: Kurt Warner

As the regular season nears (you realize that we're just ten days away right?) we've got to start up our annual community projections. Of course since this is only our second season in operation, it's only the second annual but hopefully this year the response will be quite a bit larger than last year. The rules of the game are pretty simple, post the stats that you think each player will accumulate over the course of the season. We'll hit a different player each day leading up to the season opener and then after the season ends we'll look back and see right or wrong we all were.
To get the ball rolling we'll start with everyone's favorite grey bearded quarterback, Kurt Warner. Warner had a great year in 2008 setting career highs in completions and attempts along with throwing for over 4,500 yards while completing 67.1% of his passes and throwing 30 touchdown passes. He set team records in attempts, completions, completion percentage, touchdowns and QB rating while also taking the Cardinals to their first ever Super Bowl appearance. The challenge for Warner this season will be not only to duplicate last year's success but also to stay healthy. He's never played two full season consecutively but he also hasn't missed a game due to injury since 2003.
Now it's your turn, post your projection in the comment section using this format (preferably in the comment title):
Attempts, Completions, (Comp %), Yards, Yds Per Attempt, TDs and Interceptions
If you're feeling frogging you can add anything extra that you want such as games played, fumbles, stats for Matt Leinart, Brian St. Pierre or even Tyler Palko.

I think that Warner will have a good year if he can stay healthy
But I think his stats might be a little bit lower than they were last year.

429 att, 277 comp, (64.6), 3,260 yds, 7.6 YPA, 24 TDs and 12 Ints
Warner misses half of one game and then the following two games. Leinart basically plays two and half games and a couple of mop up contests. His stats look something like….
66 Att, 40 comp, (60.6%), 508 yds, 7.7 YPA, 3 TDs and one pick

I don’t see Warner missing too much playing time, the only reason I see his stats fall is due to the improved running game.

Predicting attempts/completions is pretty ridiculous, hahaha. Assuming he’s fully healthy, high 400’s sounds about right, with a completion rating at, near or above 60%.. so high 200s/low 300 for completions? Mid to low 3,000 yards, high teens/low 20s TD, and mid-teen Int’s.
I think Bezekira is onto something. For the purpose of this thing, just double his stat line. Or, here, I’ll do it for you. >_>

378 Att, 249 Comp, (65.8), 3710 yards, 9.8 YPA, 23 TDs, 12 Ints
I am too left brain to think of the season as a whole, so I worked backwards from per game stats…I assumed Warner plays 14 games with averages per game of 27 att, 65.8% comp, 265 yds, 1.6 TD’s and 0.8 Int.
Leinart gets 2 games in with 45 Att, 27 Comp, (60.0), 430 yards, 9.6 YPA, 3 TDs, 2 Ints

Can I ask
who made the 1 INT for his projected (nearly (1 INT)) flawless, record-destroying year?
by Fitz Jizzle on Sep 3, 2009 1:34 AM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
James Harrison?

I'd be okay with that
it’d mean a Super Bowl repeat Cards vs. Stealers since we don’t play them in the regular season.

450 att, 310 Comp, (68.8), 3455 yards, 9.1 YPA, 25 TDs and 10 Ints
Minor stat tweaks. I think the run game will bring some of Warners numbers down, but I think he’ll still be a beast with Fitz, Q, and Breaston eager to try to repeat their three receivers with 1000 yard seasons.

300 att, 198 comp, (66%), 2160 yds., 7.2 ypa, 15 td's, 10 ints.
plays no more than 10 games.
this depressed me to do. I don’t want to jinx anything or depress myself more by putting up Leinart stats in the other 6 games.

debbie downer???
Just outta curiosity do you think this team would tank with Leinart out there?

I do not think they would “tank”, but they wouldn’t be as good as they are with a healthy Warner.
I think it’s somewhat unrealistic to think an injury-prone 38 year old is going to make it through the whole season unscathed. If I’m a buzzkill because of that, then so be it.

Debbie downer???
I personally think Matty would do just fine if Kurt went down. He looks alot more comfortable, poised, and knowledgable of the game than hes ever looked in the past. Sittin behind Kurt is the best thing that could have happened to Leinart.

You guys do realize that Kurt Warner had 600 Attempts last year right?
I know his production might slip some but so say he’s going to cut it in half seems a little much to me, especiallys since he really didn’t play in the New England game.

I never understand this
You ask for some projections, people put them up. Those projections aren’t what you want, so you argue about them? It’s an opinion, everyone’s entitled to one.
by KDean75 on Sep 3, 2009 10:26 AM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
very true, everyone's entitled to whatever they think
The only reason I really questioned you was b/c you said that projecting Leinart’s stats might make you even more depressed so I thought you might think he’d tank. Wasn’t really questioning b/c I thought you were wrong, just curious.

KDean
Do you understand how hypocritical that comment sounds? You’re bashing my own opinion after saying everyone’s entitled to one.
And to clarify, I’m posting Warner’s stat because I was in disbelief myself. I almost projected Warner to having 300+ attempts until I saw how many he had last year. Therefore, I brought this stat to everyone else’s attention as a surprise.
Then, I simply stated my own opinion relating to that statistic.
And for the record, I didn’t post this story, so I’m just part of the crowd like everyone else.

it might sound hypocritical to you, but it wasn’t.
where did I say something that went against your opinion?
by KDean75 on Sep 3, 2009 12:11 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Aside from the stat, my whole comment was my opinion.
Your entire response was against my opinion, otherwise what’s the point in replying to it at all?

again, what did I say that was contradictory?
This is why I don’t reply to you, you’re always trying to start something with me. Why?
by KDean75 on Sep 3, 2009 3:05 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Wait a minute.
If you look 7 comments up ^^^^ you responded to my comment negatively. I never had anything negative to say, simply stated what Kurt Warner’s attempts were with my opinion.
By responding to me negatively(basically bashing the point of this segment), then stating that everyone is entitled to their opinion, sounds pretty contradictory to me.
Whatever. It’s a segment that want’s everyone’s predictions and opinions. I gave mine, you didn’t like it. Take it for what it’s worth.

Not bashing the segment,
bashing you. Aren’t you one of the writers here? So when you make the comment that you made, it’s going to influence people, whether intentional or not. Above you’re saying that anyone that doesn’t make a prediction that is closer to what you think it should be, you’re too uninformed and stupid to have your opinion mean anything. Whether overt or not, I can’t say, but it does influence. Notice how many other predictions have been thrown out since?
Sure I responded negatively to your negative comment, that doesn’t make my comment contradictory.

538 att 376 comps, 69%, 3867 yds, 7.1 ypa, 22 TD's 10 Ints
His numbers go down thanks to not only the running game but simply because he is getting older. Same accuracy though just less attempts because it’s not necessary.
