A man working to be better in this chapter of my life than I was in previous one... striving daily to be my “best” , in hopes of inspiring the same in others!
I will never understand the “I’m not here to mentor the next guy” mentality… so for all you young QBs that need a mentor, DM me & Ill be that guy, happy to help in any way I can!
Patrick Mahomes is 572 yards away from passing
@kurt13warner

Lying in bed at midnight reflecting on how BLESSED I am - NOT bc I played in NFL, NOT bc I have a wonderful family, NOT bc Im healthy, NOT bc of where I live or what I have, although all incredible blessings, but bc JESUS came & died 4 me so that I may live! Merry Christmas!!!!!!
Amazing to me that a guy
@Lj_era8
can tear up the league consistently for 16 games... doing things that have never been done before, then after a losing playoff performance ppl want to take shots at him! Pathetic... a lot of GREAT QBs have had MANY losing playoff performances!
How do u not pull for a man like this? His priorities are right... he’s playing for the right reasons... he’s living for the right purpose... and he has joy in his heart bc of who his faith is in, not bc of what the world says about him (good or bad)! This encouraged me 2day!
“I don’t believe in the prosperity Gospel. I believe if you read the word of God and you understand it, there’s trials along the way but they equip your heart to be who you are.”

@NickFoles
preach the Gospel at his press conference today.
My son loves
@Nickelodeon
but has never sat and watched a football game with me UNTIL today... I appreciate Nick introducing our kids to the game in a fun & entertaining way!!
When did we decide loud, confrontational analysis is “best” analysis??? Am I the only 1 that would rather analysts just be themselves, come educated, bring a smart, unique take & then let viewer use info to decide what to believe… analyze to educate, not to “win” the question!
I’m SICK of guns AND I’m SICK knowing families go home to a lost loved one again today bc of a senseless shooting AND I’m SICKENED by the SICK ppl that use them to shoot other people!!!
#WhatAreWeDoing
Every past & present fan of NFL - please listen - I believe he hit the nail on the head & he did so not by dividing the 2 sides but by joining them together in realizing the freedoms of our country have been forged by soldiers but also by many others who have fought in diff ways!
‘I can think of nothing more American.’ — Beto O'Rourke — the man taking on Ted Cruz — brilliantly explains why NFL players kneeling during the anthem is not disrespectful
I once played for “the worst playoff team ever” & we found ourselves 2:30 from winning the Super Bowl & “Shocking the World”, bc we earned the right to play the game!!!
#JustSayingForAFriend
Congrats to the
@StLouisBlues
& city of STL on winning the Stanley Cup... been a long time coming, but that only makes it sweeter! No greater place to enjoy a championship! Enjoyed the ride from afar... and will enjoy watching you all celebrate, miss you STL!
I love the NFL - but it’s crazy the
#s
being put up by QBs & WRs due to fact that D can’t hit them anymore & can’t lay hands on them downfield... everyone is running free the entire game (or it’s a penalty)! Don’t get me wrong I LOVE Offense, but better when it’s a fair fight!
Please please don’t be a part of the “Anybody could be great with those guys” crowd... just don’t! Kid is special & yes he has great players around him, but HE makes them just as great as they make him... don’t be that guy!
People taking shots at a team that LOST in the SB is one of the weakest thing I see on here from a sports perspective… the 2nd best team in the world, that could have easily won & ppl talking crap!! I lost 2, but man I’ll take getting there & being called a bum by some1 any day!
Aging like “FINE” wine… at least one of us is (while I’m hanging on)!!! After 31 awesome years together, I’m believing our best one is coming in 2024 & no one I’d rather do it with!!
I will never understand the idea “let players decide the game” when committing a foul is a “player deciding a game” IMO ??? Someone explain? Players only decide games when making a throw, run, basket, etc… not playing within the rules in key moments?
Never let your circumstances define you… know life’s not fair… be willing to earn everything… never stop working… never stop believing in yourself… be ready for your opportunity when it comes… then RISE to the occasion & show the world what u already know!
Cmon ppl our world is falling apart (mass killings, pollution, Amazon is on fire, hate crimes, bullying, racism, selfishness, win at all cost mentality) bc we can’t get our eyes off ourselves & consider others - stop the hate, stop the destruction, make a needed change today!
Zman, my oldest son, suffered a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) 30 yrs ago today... and through his challenges has inspired me as much as anyone I have ever met! Today we celebrate the young man & the impact he has had on this world... wish all of you could meet him!
#ZackDay
Love this… Respect the game, respect your opponent, hold yourself accountable no matter what someone else does & always be anxious to shake the hand of someone who kicked your butt, showing you where you must be better!
I know I think differently than most ppl - but I’m amazed at how our society has become so accepting of cheating, in any form or fashion… I’ll saying it again, breaking the rules knowingly, no matter how big or small is about INTEGRITY & I’ll always hold that in highest regard!
I love FOOTBALL... but in the middle of this global crisis, WHY... are colleges bringing athletes back 4 workouts?... are QB coaches bringing groups together to throw during quarantine? What are we doing ppl??? FBall will b there when it’s over, take care our country & neighbors!
Do I have this right - Politics effects us all, its about all of us, yet as some1 who plays sports & doesn’t WORK in politics, I shouldn’t have opinion on politics of country I live in, BUT it’s ok 4 EVERY1 to have opinion on my team/play/life even if they don’t work in sports?
This is us! 26 yrs of love, fights, compromise, laughter, tears, silence and screams and 7 kids. If I could choose again I would still choose
@kurt13warner
Happy Anniversary
I’m physically upset by the hate in our country, we NEED systemic change, we NEED political change, we NEED societal change... but above all we NEED personal change! The others will take time, but each of us TODAY can choose love over hate, love over prejudice, love over all!
Man, why is everyone so angry all the time… let’s maybe get back to being able to talk, share opinions, change our minds, realize it’s ok for ppl to make mistakes (even though none of us want to), get emotional not ugly, take ownership of our mistakes & then move forward…
Mad respect & props 4
@Kendall_Hinton2
... I don’t care stats or score, this young man did nothing but battle w/ the crappy hand he was dealt! Have heart & courage like that - in the world of haters - he deserves more shots to get on field doing what he does best!
#TakeHimOnMyTeam
Hate that ppl just wait to take shots… I’ve seen blowouts in Super Bowls be4 & never once was it bc a team didn’t belong there!!! Give respect & credit to those 4 what it took to get there… sometimes it’s not ur night & other times you’re outmanned, but either way it’s earned!
@Doc_Rambo
@Nickelodeon
Yes he’s 31... suffered a traumatic brain injury at 4 months, is legally blind & has never watched a football game with me until now...
I don’t understand all the QBs saying their job isn’t to be a mentor to young QBs coming into org... in what part of life (family, business, sports, etc...) do u enter where u say Im not here to do everything I am capable of to make us better, including helping next generation!?
I know many of you LOVE college football, but as I start to dive into these college QBs, it’s hard for me to even watch: very few play on schedule, the pass concepts are a mess most of the time, they run the same play over & over, a million bubble screens, can’t find many…
Don’t care what team you root for… you have to root for
#JoshDobbs
- been dealt a tough hand, but a blessing at the same time… no complaints, no “woe is me”, just took it and ran every time!!! Tip of the hat from me!!!
Finally getting a chance to see film of
@Lions
2-Pt play, gotta say they executed the play itself brilliantly - starting w/ shift to confuse Dallas, seeing the WRs use hand signals to let officials know who is on/off creating a legal formation & then making the play to win game!
I love the “you can’t call that at that moment” argument if it’s not a blatant penalty… what if someone just slightly jumped offsides in biggest moment should they call it? Or an OLmen barely moved? We all know the answer so why does it change on other calls?
#SeriousQuestion
How does
#NateSudfield
feel when another coach says putting him in = disrespecting game!! Did he not put in 17 weeks of work, following all protocols & busted his butt like every1 else... yet God forbid he gets a chance to play in “meaningless” game... just so easy to see 1 side!
@Bjj_Junky
Haha - different mentality - I never want to beat a guy out for job just bc the other guy isn’t at his best - I want him at his best and then the best man win… maybe I’m just wired differently!
Last SB I played in vs
@steelers

@EliManning
- sucked 4 me - but I knew it wasn’t about that season but the future & I’d have to say it worked out pretty well 4 Gmen!
My oldest son, Zman, turns 31 today... I don’t know anyone who has dealt with more challenges on a daily basis or that has inspired me more... love this man & hope in many ways I can grow up to be like him!
Always wondered if portal is about players why they can’t talk 2 colleges B4 2 weigh options, such a leap of faith! Well

Report or No report… he can’t be covered by another WR which he was(unless I’m seeing things), so would have been a penalty either way…??? Bummer way to end a good football game…
The Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus & Easter bunny are all fun stories to imagine… but the greatest story was written, lived & finished on this day! Love you all & hope you have a very Happy Easter!
#ThankYouJesus
Love this Ben, here are a few thoughts to add:
1) on any good play - EVERYONE is an option vs the right D
2) The Chiefs ran to what we call a 2-Invert Coverage (not man) in which guy down middle always is an option Vs Middle Open D
3) Due to pressure JG was “HOT” here (unblocked…
There was a play last night where Amon-Ra St. Brown was wide open for a touchdown. I talked about:
🔹why he was so wide open
🔹why Jared Goff didn't throw him the ball
🔹what Matthew Stafford once did with a very similar look (in the playoffs) (to win the game)
I have to say I am so bummed in the year of Covid & being flexible - the

won’t figure out a way for

to call plays for tonight’s game!! Such a huge disadvantage for a team that worked so hard to get to playoffs
@Browns
Congrats to
@TheAAF
on a successful - well received - & entertaining opening night! It was fun being a part & look forward to playing a role moving forward... players need this league to get a 2nd chance or show ppl they have what it takes!!
#ImThePosterBoyForLeagueslikeThis
I’ve been thinking a lot about this whole
@JoshAllenQB
debate - and I know winning means something - but so does context!
Here’s a little - I played in 3 SBs - in each of them after the last significant drive we had on offense, I left the field with a lead or tie… I have a SB…
I HATE that it takes days like today & other tragedies 4 us to truly appreciate how precious life is... taking time to do what we love w/ those we love... realizing that few things are important enough to stay angry at a loved one... Not letting a day pass w/o saying “I LOVE U”!
Merry Christmas to all that see this tweet - I’m hoping your day is safe & filled with special time with family & friends, reflecting on the gift of Jesus! (Happy Hanukkah to those celebrating it)!
One of these days I’d love to have a sophisticated conversation (not sure that’s possible) about this, bc I feel I am a very realistic, level headed person… can’t do it tonight & don’t need a bunch of ppl telling me who I am or what I believe… just know something has to change!
I know
@TomBrady
& Bill Belichick are awesome... but the most overlooked part of the
@Patriots
greatness is the consistency of their OL each & every year... Coach Dante Scarnecchia does a fantastic job & they all benefit from it greatly!
Thus proving “Anything Is Possible” in sports... coolest thing about my journey is no one will ever have 1 like it, but may encourage others to forge their own regardless of their circumstances!

Twenty Years Ago Today:
@kurt13warner
, an undrafted QB making the NFL minimum of $254,000, leads the St. Louis Rams to the Super Bowl title. Warner, who a few years before was working the graveyard shift for $5.50 an hour at Hy-Vee, wins regular season & SB MVP.
Tired of listening to ppl who know nothing about QB position, what constitutes a good read, what it means to have ball in ur hands & not trust guys around u & how important it is 4 position to need a team around them... just quit talking! (4 those w/ legit take I’m here 2 talk)
So let me get this straight...
#EliMannings
streak comes to an end at hands of a coach that is fired 1 day after that decision??? That makes this whole debacle even worse!!!
#EveryoneLoses
Last night in Italy a couple recognized us & came over & asked if we’d like to have a drink w/ them… after a little deliberation we said yes & spent the next 3 hours talking, laughing & getting to know each other… It’s always a treat to meet good ppl & start new relationships!
As I continue to prepare for Divisional Games - the stats continue to state how impressive
@brockpurdy13
has played this year… which completely backs up what the tape says, yet I continue to see ppl take shots at him, just don’t get it… Just keep ballin until the recognize!
Why can’t we just say the reason
#JoshAllen
didn’t win (I know it’s a team but so much about QB) game isnt bc he wasn’t really good, but simply bc the guy on the other was better!!! Period… sometimes to win those games you have to almost play flawless & that’s nearly impossible!
Absolutely NOTHING I enjoy more than watching my fam succeed & overcome! I’m just Giddy…
@KadeWarner
: Walk-on at Neb to starter & captain, under-utilized so bet on self & tranferred to KSt & became starter, captain & champion, all while never playing his natural position!
#Sweet
Talent is NOT just athleticism… It can be processing… anticipating… instincts… it can be problem solving better than others… it can be accuracy… it can be decision making… making the play in the biggest moment, even if you don’t make every play throughout the game…
People why are we having a
#MatthewStafford
to the HOF debate today?? Let our brother enjoy this incredible moment & let’s talk about his critical plays in playoffs/SB to get that ring!! (Then we can revisit all this when he retires - he ain’t anywhere close to done yet)!!
I see so many disturbing videos on here showing the lack of respect/value we place on the lives of other human beings… its really sickening!!! I can’t fathom ever doing these things… We have to do better? What’s the answer?
Those ppl out there saying
@brockpurdy13
is struggling aren’t watching the games… young man is playing some really good football - making all kinds of plays (not w/o mistakes, but who does)!!! Quit looking at stats - they should back the narrative, NOT create it!!
Now really... can u make this up?? Full extension of arm, in building they made rule for & they don’t review it!?? Let it stand? (Sorry In airport and cant hear) Wow!
Philadelphia is signing 41-year-old QB Josh McCown to its practice squad and making him oldest practice squad player in NFL history, league sources tell ESPN. McCown will live in Texas, make $12,000 a week and serve as the Eagles’ emergency QB.
The
@Lions
killed the draft & it’s a big reason why they are here right now… many said can’t take “such-n-such” player that high, if he fits your scheme & plans you can’t pick a guy too high IMO!
Joe Montana was a system QB that had the best WR in NFL history when he won his back-to-back MVP awards. He also had one of the best coaches of all-time in Bill Walsh. Wonder how much slander Montana caught about being a system QB?
#JalenHurts

Now
@brockpurdy13
is taking my records… nothing is sacred anymore, haha! Well done young man, just one more example this kid can flat play football, hard to fall into things like this!!!
Brock Purdy is the second QB in NFL history with 3 games of 3-plus TD passes and a passer rating of 140 or higher in his first two seasons.

@PFTCommenter
Somebody throw away my script before I arrived every week I guess… or maybe it was like the Truman Show - I was only one not in on it!??🤷🏻♂️
I actually LOVE how a decade ago we looked at “athletic” QBs and said they can’t win in NFL bc you have to be able to do it in the pocket (which has always been important & still is) insinuating those players can’t do both…
Today, we almost make the exact opposite argument,…
So during quarantine I have watched episodes of “Tiger King” & “Ozark” & everyone in both shows are “Bat-_________-Crazy”... so could someone give me a good show to watch with some redeeming qualities, PLEASE!!!!!
I sit here this a.m. & think of all the sacrifices I have made to be where I’m at today... then I sit here & think of all the sacrifices others have made 4 me to be where I’m at today... NONE compare to the sacrifice JESUS made for me to be where I’m at today!

fan, but maybe more exciting after watching tape I thought his game was 1 of cleanest of ANY starting QB this year - in terms of making correct reads/throws... & IT WAS HIS 1ST START!
What
@PatrickMahomes
does mentally, sneaky physically, creating throws, understanding spacing & w/ his ridiculous arm talent is so phenomenal I might argue hes most complete QB we’ve ever seen... I know it’s early, I know weve had some amazing QBs & I don’t say this flippantly!
You know you’re old, when you’ve done some things in game & still cover the

but current players have no idea who you are when u come up to say hello!!! Haha… always a humbling experience, but reminds me it’s time to make my mark in another area!!
