He dominated the CFL and did just as well in the NFL.

With almost 50k passing yards that’s just insane

The NFL wasted Warren's time....racist!

🎯🎯🎯🎯✊🏽

Yep!!

Moon and Rodgers are at the top of my list. Their balls just look different, no homo haha

Darts nigga

I agree. I would put Mark Rypien second as far as throwing a deep ball. I always and will be a Warren Moon fan.

That damn Jim Kelly and buffalo

He wasn't even drafted bro.

Warren doesn't mind that he never won a Super Bowl. He has said in interviews that even if he did win a Super Bowl, it would not have felt as special to him as when he won his first Grey Cup. The real crime is that because he's black, the NFL wanted him to play WR or DB. Canada doesn't have such stupid ideas and he played for five years in the CFL, just lighting it up. He played for the aptly-named Eskimos in the CFL's coldest city, Edmonton, Alberta. Funny how the coldest cities in both leagues have football teams that look almost identical to each other. So, five seasons of his career played NOT in the NFL because no team at the time would draft a black QB. Is it any wonder that the mural at Warren Moon's Cookies has Canadian flags on it? He was making a political statement.

@@mcdonoghrahloh459 And he was in Washington and Seattle had a chance to take him but took Jim Zorn instead then replaced him with Dave Krieg and neither of them are in Canton.

@@AvroBellow Moon had the idea of position switch thrown at him while in high school.He was recruited by ARIZONA ST then they recruited a WHITE QB and asked Moon to switch to DB but he steadfastly refused to play defensive back.

***** Well, technically he got one as a member of the seahawks organization last year. That's right, Russell Wilson won Warren Moon a championship ring.

***** He has 5 rings.

+Maxwell Warawa those are from the Canadian league right?

Yes

David Brutus look at this Jimmy Johnson said that he was afraid of Houston because of not having a way to defend that pass happy scheme.

The late 1970s were not a good time for the qb

You tell it like it is...He was amazing.

Tewan Coleman yes!!!! he is the greatest of all time!!! my fav

You don't go to nine Pro Bowls, and get inducted into the Hall of Fame, by being "underrated." If any quarterback is underrated, it's Jim Plunkett. He led his team to, not one, but two Super Bowl victories (and was named MVP in one of those games), yet three decades after retiring he's still not in the HoF.

SingleTax ikr I wish they would induct Randall Cunningham as well

If Gary Anderson had not missed the kick of his life in the 1998 NFC championship game, the Vikings would have gone to -- and very likely won -- the Super Bowl. But he did miss it, and I'm convinced that that fact alone is what has kept Cunningham out of the HoF, thus far.

+EdmacZ they were all offense no defense, just like the Dolphin's

Are the oilers the Tennessee Titans

+Kaden Morant Yes

Edmac those Oiler teams were not mediocre they were filled with SB type talent.

EdmacZ what? Mediocre? The oilers of those year were filled with pro bowl and all pro players throughout the roster

+ZhangtheGreat Moon was not the only black QB that had to deal with rejection there are some that you probably never knew even today.

+ZhangtheGreat In '90 Randall Cunningham&Moon made history as the first black QBs to finish 1st and 2nd in the NFL in td passes something that we should all remember!!!!!!!!!! That game in which Moon threw for 527 yds ex- Kansas City Chief HC Marty Schottenheimer made that possible being physical in a pre game meeting.

Dwight Love I'm aware of the "blacks can't play QB" stigma that hung around for a long time, and I'm sure it played a significant part in why no one drafted him...which is even more reason those scouts should be doused in slime.

ZhangtheGreat Moon also said that ppl doubted him because they felt he was not big enough to play QB as well.Yes those scouts were probably somewhere contemplaiting suicide after seeing that 527 yd performance he laid on the Chiefs!!!!!!!!!

+ZhangtheGreat I agree that those scouts should have been doused in slime!!!!!!

Eric Bowers you don't know what you're talking about.If the Oilers play ANY defense in the playoff games 91-93 they win.Don't blame it on an offensive scheme you're unfamiliar with.

He was pure CLASS.

Scott Woods Doug Williams of the Washington Redskins(my team)won the 1987-88 Superbowl throwing 4 out of the 5 tuchdowns beating Denver,he was the first black QB to play in and win the Superbowl,he is one of the best to play the game...HTTR.

Yeah Doug had a great postseason run, but he never had a Pro Bowl season (Moon had 9 of those). I am not saying that Williams wasn't a worthy NFL QB, but it was clear that there's a pretty good gap between him and Moon when it comes to talent and consistent play at the QB position. One does have to wonder, would Moon trade his career for Williams's career just to have that one elusive Super Bowl though?

+Yes Joseph that offense taught him how to read defensive schemes.

Doug was also the number 1 overall pick and a franchise level QB but they didn't want to pay him in Tampa so he wasted his prime in the USFL

Holycow 8498 That miserable pos Hugh Culverhouse refused to pay him wgat he was worth. So Doug left and the Bucs went to the cellar....for the next decade!!

Most beautiful Spiral: Warren Moon. Ugliest Spiral: Joe Kapp..... Warren Moon was the Anti Joe Willie Namath... Stupid ass Vikings for NOT taking him early in his career because he's black. Al Davis said it best: "I don't give a fuck if you're from the planet Neptune, if you can play Football, & win for me, welcome aboard mate." EVERYBODY in Oakland was EQUAL. That's why I grew to love Al Davis.

Yes, we were sure lucky football fans in Edmonton as he quarter-backed the Eskimos for 10 yrs. He gave us so many great memories over the years. His arm was magical. Amazing skills...

Good point. Loved Pastorini but Warren was better. Sorry Dante

+Christian that effort is still no.2 all time funny thing he had a chance to break the long standing mark of Norm Van Brocklin 554 yds!!!!!

Knight Shade That should have been more.

I watched that game..

He was outplayed by Elway and Montana who were probably better than Moon. Moon matched up evenly with former Run-N-Shoot gunslinger Kelly, but lost to him. Moon destroyed the Kelly-less Bills, but the Oilers, including Moon, blew that Bills game big time.

@@RichV20 elway isnt better as a qb than moon

His teams failed to deliver in the playoffs

@@coolop5117Elway and the Broncos did win 2 rings under him though

The oilers team he was on he was forced to carry

Ethan Storms And he does as well as anyone.

Ethan Storms,,,,, And he was still decent when Seattle got him. He played well for us, but was really old on a rebuilding team. P

Amazing that he played his first 5 years in Canada, and still passed for almost 50,000 yards in the NFL, something almost no one else has done.

AntiSchiff That's an insane statistic. I can only imagine what would have been if he had been drafted and handed to someone like Bill Walsh as a rookie. They might have renamed the Lombardi trophy after him by now.

Oh wow and yes! The thing is, the black man doesn't suppose to be great and effective at the most high rank, as same as with POTUS, catch my drift! Call me crazy, but I think it was something behind Superbowl 49 & 50, that kept Russell Wilson from getting a second Lombardi trophy being a black QB and then Cam Newton would've made it to be back to back Superbowls with black QB's winning! Just a theory now. Then even with Superbowl 51, it was something fishy about that, how the Falcons high powered offense couldn't score any more in the fourth quarter and wasn't focused on running the damn ball!

Doug Williams, Super Bowl XXII MVP!!! :) Washington Redskins 340 passing yards and 4 touchdowns ............GDCO? Take your racist victimization out of here, please.

It wasn't bigotry. There's was 28 teams in 1978 (the year Moon entered the Draft). Doug Williams was the the only QB drafted in the 1st round in 1978. And get this.. HE'S BLACK! He also lead the Redskins to a Super Bowl and WON against John Elway and was SB MVP. A lot of players played in these smaller leagues. Kurt Warner (AFL), Jim Kelly (USFL), Moon. etc I was an Oilers fan and had a Moon jersey, posters, even got my helmet signed by him. The Comeback is still a bitter memory for me when I was 12 years old. I burned all of my Oilers memorabilia that night.

Did you see the Texans patriots game? The pats used a black quarterback and won the game!

Expanga He's raw and too early to judge him but he can improvise and Gronk didn't play that game so he wasn't throwing much. hey played it safe knowing he was a 3rd string rookie and I understand that. My problem is a lot of these guys are not allowed to get better at QB. It's almost a damn joke. So many white QB suck but they get to stay until they have enough weapons until they look good.

Dontdoittoyoself Cough Vick cough

Dontdoittoyoself russell wilson

RGIII, Donovan McNabb, Jameis Winston, Michael Vick, Randall Cunningham, Kordell Stewart (sort of), Antwaan Randle-El (sort of), Tyrod Taylor, Jamarcus Russell (unfortunately), Josh Freeman, Cam Newton, Russell Wilson (blackish), Colin Kaepernick (blackish), Dak Prescott, Teddy Bridgewater, Geno Smith, Vince Young, Charlie Batch, Tavaris Jackson, Seneca Wallace, and probably a lot of others I didn't think of.

Fella, IT'S CALLED WHITE RACISM. It's that simple.

Randall Denison there are plenty of white running backs and receivers in the league and majority or the general managers and owners are white. They are the ones who do the drafting. Mccafery for the Panthers, Thelin for the Vikings are two of the best at their position. Do your research.

2016JC man yeah, if it get more individual Im going to stop watching it like basketball

Yep.. No defenseless receiver, no outside the pocket I can legally ground the ball… It was God-damned glorious..

He was an amazing quaterback, he deserves that much, but he was not the best ever, close, but he isn't

+Brandon Bailey It's all subjective because football is not an individual sport. Everybody relies on somebody. That's why I don't put the same emphasis on rings as most people.

@@Dontdoittoyoself exactly, some QB's just get the unlucky end of the stick and have to carry the team, some like Brady get lucky and end up with an organization with stable management that knows how to scout talent

It’s Brady career wide, statistically Drew Brees and Peyton Manning.

DC Guitar Of course they are clueless to the pre '00s NFL lol.

No one thinks that...

@@TheFunnyBone5 I hope not

You can’t forget joe Montana And I’m a kid and I still KNOW Rodgers didn’t

Some Crew fr fr

I know right😂

Est Mer the owner wanted a new stadium but the city would not help him make it so he picked up stakes and moved to Tennessee.

Bud Adams, the owner, made the Houston spend a ton of money renovating that Astrodome, then turned around and said that he didn't want that -- just a few years after the money was spent on upgrades -- he wanted a whole new stadium. He bilked taxpayers millions of dollars and then drew a line in the sand less then 10 years later, saying if they didn't build him a brand new everything, he was going to leave. People in Houston hated his ass.

The offense was there from 88-91, and the defense became dominate from 91-94.. By then the league had figured out how to defend them.. Bad timing..
