i liked Warren Moon, but sometimes his ego cost him games. I remember one game , Houston Oilers were beating San Fran like 28 zip, 4th quarter, Moon keeps thowing the ball, rather then handing off to White or Highsmith? can't remember the tail back at that time , but both were pretty good. ,, well any how Moon throws interseption after interseption and they lose that game. never understood that loss?Simple just run the clock out and keep the ball on the ground. I remember them saying the tailback averaging 4.6 yards a carry.. Hell you give the ball to that guy when your up 28 points in the 4th quarter.

You are right about that... BUT these his stats are amazing

Combining his NFL and CFL stats, Moon's numbers are staggering: 5,357 completions for 70,553 yards and 435 touchdowns, all of which are massively higher than the NFL records for each category. Even if his Canadian League statistics are discounted, Warren Moon's career is still exceptional: 3,988 completions for 49,325 yards (the fourth-highest in NFL history), 291 touchdown passes, 1,736 yards rushing, and 22 rushing touchdowns.
