Kurt Warner: 'Maybe it is time to walk away' for Brady, Rodgers

Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner thinks it could be time for Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers to give serious consideration to retirement.

In an interview with Lanae Brody of People, Warner suggested the quarterbacks' long careers may be finally catching up with them.

"I think both of those guys look like they're exhausted," Warner said. "It's OK to go, 'You know what? It's not how it used to be. I may not be who I used to be, or it's just too hard overall to get everybody up to the standard. Maybe it is time to walk away.'"

Brady, 45, and Rodgers, 38, have both had their share of struggles this season. Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell to 3-4 with a loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, while Rodgers' Green Bay Packers sit at 3-4 and have lost three straight.

Warner acknowledged that the decision to retire isn't easy but said there's no shame in admitting it's time to walk away.

"It's not being defeated," he said. "That's not saying you can't do it anymore. I just think sometimes that stuff outweighs the joy of the game, which is what it looks like is happening for those two guys, and I feel for them."
