Kurt Warner was munching on a hamburger and fries and drinking a Pepsi for lunch with his wife, Brenda, in Beverly Hills recently.

The changing of the guard among NFL quarterbacks is nearly complete.
All four starting quarterbacks in today's NFL divisional playoff games were drafted in this century -- the last seven years, to be exact.

The only holdover from the old days among the NFL's final eight is 35-year-old Matt Hasselbeck of the Seattle Seahawks.
