@Matt-cr4vv
6 ай бұрын
Maybe in hindsight you could argue that. But it wasn’t an idiotic move at the time. Warren was getting close to 40, was struggling with some injury troubles, and eventually teams move forward. Cody in the years leading up to the move had played well enough and the games he filled in 1992 and 1993 the team didn’t drop off and still won games. And in the end the fall off that cliff led to Steve McNair so long term it worked out in their favor honestly. It may have been bad at first but in true hindsight landing McNair was the long term better outcome.

He would throw the ball so hard that he broke all his receivers fingers. That must have been the reason why the NFL didn't draft him. If it was truly 1970 the year Moon graduated college, that year Stanford produced Jim Plunkett. Same school that produced John Elway in 1983. He threw the football hard.

The Eskimos got Brian Kelly WR out of Washington State. Together, He and Moon lit up the CFL! Go look at the stats! I would be remiss, if I didn’t mention Dan Kelley.

Warren Moon was the greatest Quarterback for the Houston Oilers. Period. (Even over Pastorini...which is a high compliment for Houston). If times hadn't changed and we all didn't get a little older, then He is who I would be looking for to head the Offense this year and bring it with the "Run and Shoot"! It was a crazy ride...back then...and an emotional one while he was with the Oilers. So weird that he had to be part of so much drama all the time when he was so Great Everywhere. Now...Warren...a new guy is coming on strong in Houston as our QB. If he follows anything from what you were able to do here...He is going bring in the fantastic stats like you used to do. (And he has already started). Football is just as weird...as in life...sorry to be so profound (but this highlight video was very deep). Someone like Moon puts it all on the line...gives it his all. Then, they have to retire and watch others blow by all that they achieved as they become a memory. Thank you, Warren for taking the Oilers along with you on your journey! It was really great. Matter of fact...it was Legendary!
