Kurt Warner was the only player to appear on all 8 MVP ballots of ESPN experts.

As Arizona Sports experts I ask you, is this even allowed?
Is it possible to have an MVP of the NFL on our team?
Is Kurt in the same sentence as,
Steve Nash (circa 2006)
Steve Nash (circa 2005)
Luis Gonzalez (circa 2001, okay he got 3rd but he is the only one to get a Title.)
Charles Barkley (circa 1993)
Does he deserve it? I feel like half the QBs in the league could put up his numbers with the receivers we have. The only point that I have heard to refute this assertion is that our offensive line is not very good and that Warner makes them look good with his quick release. This may be true but I am also consistently nervous with him under center. I feel like defenses can get into his head if he does not score a TD on the opening drive. We are among the league leaders in scoring in the first quarter and I think that is a telling stat.
Can you be an MVP if you are not mentally tough and the star of the best team in the worst division?
People are just confused that the Cardinals won their division and they don't know who to blame for it.
