With the possibility of losing yet another starting quarterback, the Cardinals could be in desperate need of a replacement. Why not make it a former Super Bowl MVP?

Quarterback Drew Stanton's knee injury against the St. Louis Rams on Thursdays left many Cardinals fans begging for team great Kurt Warner to come out of retirement in time for Arizona's playoff run.

As much as it seems like a joke, the Cardinals are in such a tough situation. They have won 11 games and started four quarterbacks so far. But if the team hopes for a deep playoff run, it will need a better option than Ryan Lindley.

Warner was actually at the Edward Jones Dome when the call for his Cardinals return started on Twitter.

"I am out in the trailer, u think they have an extra jersey in the locker room? Man I feel terrible 4 the Cards & all the injuries!"

The tweet certainly got the attention of injured Cardinals defensive end Darnell Dockett. He responded with eyeball emojis, of course.

"@ddockett Your killing me... If I thought I could, I would!!!!"

So, you're saying there's a chance...

Warner turned 43 in June. If Warner did actually return, it would make him the oldest quarterback to play in the NFL since Vinny Testaverde, 43, did so with the Panthers in 2007.

Either way, Twitter won't stop asking for Warner to save the Cardinals.
