Warner: I'm not sure I'm coming back

After his record-setting postseason, Cardinals QB Kurt Warner told reporters he wasn't ready to decide whether he was going to play next season.

"I don’t know if I’m going to play next year," Warner said. "I’m going to enjoy what we just accomplished as a football team. I want to take some time away from the game and then I’ll make a decision. There are just so many emotions that go into making that decision. There are things that make you want to come back. There are things that make you say, ‘Man I wish I had a break.’ I really don’t know. I don’t want to make an emotional decision."

Warner, who threw for 377 yards and three touchdowns tonight, now owns the top three passing yardage games in Super Bowl history. No other quarterback has thrown for 300 yards in three Super Bowl appearances, let alone three consecutive appearances.

Warner's 1,147 passing yards this postseason set a new record and his 11 touchdowns this postseason tied Joe Montana's record set in the 1989 postseason.

"Yeah, but I’m 1-2 in Super Bowls," Warner said. "That’s the only bad part of it. When you come to this game, you want to be a part of the greatest game. I’ve been fortunate in three Super Bowls to be a part of three great football games. I definitely am proud of it. Would I like to have won two more? No question, but I am proud of the fact that I’ve been able to play in some of the best Super Bowls ever."
