We recently released another documentary on fellow all time great Randall Cunningham, check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHuvpZmQptGla80

[@rodneyrucker2508]

Another monster

[@jpmnky]

This guy threw the prettiest pass I’ve seen in over 30 years as a fan of the NFL.

[@FootballLoreOfficial]

big facts

[@jpturner9452]

Yea, he threw a great, catchable ball. Other QBs may have a rocket arm, but they don't know how to throw an easy to catch ball. Warren understood that.

[@11kful]

He rarely threw a knuckleball, most were all spirals...

[@FootballLoreOfficial]

@@11kful yeah

[@RaoulDuke-bc1pm]

You are correct @jpmnky and I've been a fan for over 60 years. You stole my thunder, but it's cool that we saw the same thing. I was thinking about a comparison and couldn't really come up with another QB. I think I've come up with a comparable athlete, though you'll have to stretch your imagination a little bit and go with a different sport...Fred Couples. Both could launch missiles with a slow, almost effortless delivery. They looked artistic...almost lazy. Both were cool under pressure and are Hall of Famers. Both are underrated and each remained competitive longer than their peers.

[@user-xr1xs1zy2z]

Tightest spirals ever thrown. Imagine Moon throwing to Randy Moss.

[@FootballLoreOfficial]

would have been insane

[@robertdore9592]

..or Jerry Rice...

[@choosecarefully408]

@@robertdore9592Well, that's _two_ things. First, along with Dan Marino, Moon is the 1st QB I can remember who would've been WAY better if he had _any_ other talent on the team. André Johnson, a half-decent RB. Montana _had_ Jerry Rice. & in 1990 with Moon beating him in virtually every passing stat without that advantage the MVP still went to the White Guy adding privilege to it.

[@damedan9389]

Yeah but, Randell Cunningham didn't do too bad himself with that.

[@moorebounce]

Warren Moon is the prime reason I call for the Pro Football Hall of Fame to change it's name to the NFL Hall of Fame. Another reason is the CFL is older than the NFL. No players who played in other Pro football leagues are in it unless they played in the NFL. Warren Moon has the most passing yards out of any QB in pro football history with his stats in the CFL and NFL combined.

[@Paul-vf2wl]

Moon is in the Hall of Fame

[@metalmacabre9991]

They arent going to do that, it's called the NFL hall of fame because it covers a player's NFL career.

[@blackmuslimconservative]

@@metalmacabre9991 It's called the Pro Football Hall of Fame, not the NFL Hall of Fame. His point is that it SHOULD be called the NFL Hall of Fame.

[@blackmuslimconservative]

Combining Moon's passing yardage from both leagues would put him in 6th place behind: Brady, Brees, Calvillo, Allen, Manning and Favre.

[@cohengamertv6548]

The Canadian Football Hall of Fame is the CFL’s version

[@music_lover2227]

Warren Moon was that guy, it's a shame they lost to the bills in 92. He had a violent yet smooth throwing motion, once the ball left his hand, it was a thing of beauty.

[@FootballLoreOfficial]

I agree with everything but the violent but smooth it was strong and smooth

[@philmoe5392]

Glad people are putting some respect on Warren Moon’s name. He was one of my favorite players growing up in the 80’s. This was a time where we had limited representation of Black QB’s and I was happy to see someone that looked like me, along with Randall Cunningham 🏈 🤝🏾

[@benjaminbrown5143]

Warren was one of my favorite QBs

[@FootballLoreOfficial]

hes the best

[@robertdore9592]

He still is a favourite of mine. I rate him right up there with Montana (IMHO the GOAT - I'm a Raiders fan too) Elway, Marino, Aikman.

[@msskaggs3911]

I consider him the be the second best quarterback to never win a Super Bowl. Watching him run the Oilers Run & Shoot offense during the early 90s is the first time I realized there were different offensive systems. Warren Moon ran the 'RnS' offense so well that I concluded it must be the superior offensive system in the NFL. I even remember arguing with my elementary school friends that my favorite team should use it even though my favorite team just won the most recent S/B. I eventually changed my mind gradually ► over the next ~18 months I learned/realized two key facts: (1) the 'RnS' requires exceptional QB play to successfully run that offense in the NFL, and (2) Mark Rypien was not Warren Moon. Looking back on it later, I honestly don't think any of his contemporary QB's could have run that Oiler offense as successfully as Warren Moon.

[@eugenedantzler4485]

Warren Moon is the Goat.... He came up in an era where Black Qbs were definitely not wanted....... Had he had the chance and on a contender....... He would have 90 percent of the records.... And at least 6 rings... GOAT!

[@FootballLoreOfficial]

The Oilers were contenders for sure. I do think it's important to remember he had already played football for 6 years in Canada. When his NFL career started he was already past what most players consider their prime, he still played that well when most people are out of the league due to age. and he STILL played this well

[@eugenedantzler4485]

@@FootballLoreOfficial true. He should have been drafted regardless. It's sad it took the NFL 6 years to wake up. I didn't know the he went to the Oilers because of his coach. I really wish he would have won the Super Bowl

[@bconni2]

the Oilers were contenders. especially the 1993 season. they had the best record in the AFC , but lost to Joe Montana and the Chiefs in the divisional round. that year was his best opportunity to win it all, but it didn't work out

[@winstonsyme5899]

Really? Doug Williams was drafted in the first round the same year Moon was not drafted. Maybe because as a three year starter he completed 48% of his passes for 3200 yards, 19 touchdowns and 17 interceptions.

Warren Moon was an all around Pro Quarterback that had all the traits and intelligence needed to be the best and he really was, if only he would have had stronger teams around him. I loved the Houston Oilers sky blue and white uniforms with the red trim on the side of the pants. One of the best uniforms next to the chargers original uniforms. Moon almost made it to the Super Bowl if not for that back and forth tough game with Buffalo in the division playoffs of 92. I still have an ill feeling in my stomach to this day just thinking of that game because they had it if only the defense could have held. There’s another black quarterback coming from Washington in this 2024 draft that has that same talents and skills hopefully he will have a great pro career also.

in the 70s I worked as a Canadian Sales Manager for an American company based in Seattle. I had the pleasure of seeing Warren play in a special game featuring the Big 10 vs the PAC 8. I was impressed but never expected to see him in the CFL. When it happened most Canadians had never heard of him even though he was a standout at U of Washington. The CFL which has a wider field by 15 yards than the NFL’s, was Taylor made for him as evidenced by his passing records and Grey Cup wins. It was so great to see him excel in the NFL as he was very respected by Canadian fans.

[@butterbeantx]

Hang on. Go check out Fran tarkenton from the '60s. He was the first mobile quarterback.

[@neverfallnewsmedia]

@@butterbeantx Yeah I'm not saying Fran wasn't great. He is more like Romo than Lamar Jackson. A scrambler isn't really a runner. RC12 scored more rushing TDs and had 1,000+ more rushing yards than Fran in less seasons. Fran was a passer, Randall was the 1st, 2 way threat. I mean fran had under 4,000 rushing yards and Randall was closer to 5,000 in less seasons. This is more than 20% better output on the ground. Tack on RC12s more TDs than Fran on the ground, in less time, then you have the 1st real 2 way threat in RC12.

[@astrostar49]

I still think he's talked about plenty, but it might be a generation gap like you said in another comment. Warren was one of my favorite quarterbacks, and I loved him on the Houston Oilers. I think what might hurt is legacy is a couple of things. One is that he doesn't really have any signature moments in the playoffs unfortunately, and he's been on the end of some gut-crushing losses. In particular from 1991 to 1993 there was the last minute loss to the Broncos, the epic collapse to the Bills, and the collapse against the Chiefs. And Warren for as decorated as his career was, he never even made a championship game appearance. Pretty sure he's the only HOF QB with that stigma attached. He also fumbled a lot. Regardless, he was still a spectacular quarterback. Just had some bad luck on some good teams. No one really blames any of those playoff losses on Warren really.

All scripted it's why he ain't wanna play in nfl cos he was never allowed to win but bigger payday was nfl so he went with it.
