What in the world?

 

April 1.

 

Of 1992?

 

Seems so.

 

Not to stir the pot but Moon was by far the most underappreciated, underrated QB im my lifetime IMO.

 

Well he did make the hof first ballot iirc

 

you never got the message about the Delorean?

 

How long has Dan Marino been a black QB??

 

Hard to say that somebody who made the Hall of Fame is underrated or under appreciated.

 

Thank god it is April fools. Can you imagine this franchise without Marino? :shifty:

 

IMO, he'd have been clear cut 2nd best, arguably best of all time if he had played his whole career in the NFL.

 

To clarify I think it is more by fans and by todays "popular" media outlet. You rarely hear Moon mentioned with the greats and if you took a poll of fans I would bet Jim Kelly would be put before him.

 

Not while he was playing. In fact, if you were to ask this question to most knowledgeable NFL fans they'd most certainly have Marino 1 and Moon 2. And being right behind Marino is not being underrated.

 

Jim Kelly was an awesome Qb whom I feel was more underrated. if the Bills had won 1 or 2 of those Super Bowls he'd be mentioned alongside Montana, IMO. It's a shame that winning a SB is the marker for greatness most fans and the media. However, Moon was a better QB.

 

moon was the balls. One of my favorite qbs.

 

but yeah I agree he is under appreciatted. How many times do you see him listed on the all time great lists?

 

There are two things that the media, and thus fans who parrot the media, consider when it comes to all time great lists. Championships and records broken. The former is a team accomplishment and shouldn't be a main factor for those lists.

Anyone who doesn't think Moon was a top 10-15 all-time great QB either never watched him play or watched him beat their favorite team over and over. ;)

 

right, but hence the underrated thing ;) . Personally, Moon is my second favorite all time qb. Watching him play was a thing of beauty.

 

moon was pretty good. top 15 of all time, no question.
