Kurt Warner, The Great Unknowable Freak Of The NFL

Will Leitch stopped by Deadspin on Wednesday to offer his take on Kurt Warner, who he describes as “incomprehensible.” He’s like a silent ninja assassin who can throw more touchdowns than incompletions in a game, and he just happens to constantly be thinking about how great God is (Warner, not Leitch).

↵↵It’s difficult to describe Warner, when he’s on, when he’s ‘99 Warner, as anything other than bionic. He is a robotically constructed quarterback machine, showing no emotion, no fear, no joy, no panic: He throws the ball exactly where it’s supposed to go because that’s where it’s supposed to go. It’s not the chaos of Favre, or the nerdy precision of Manning, or the All-American faux heroism of Brady. There’s nothing to at all: Warner just hits exactly his spot and then jogs down the field to do it again. It’s unnerving. It’s inhuman. It does not compute.
