how is Unitas not running away with this, he's been named the greatest quarterback ever by multiple publications and aniversary teams, guess Favre's recent hot streak counts for something

well, I'd say that I think so, but seeing as I never saw either of them play, and haven't seen them play on ESPN Classic. Also, it's guesswork as to what would have happened if Moon would have been an NFL player his entire career

Well, you make a fair statement, but considering Doug Flutie's numbers in Canada were better than Moon's........

And since he did play part of his career in the CFL, you can't really speculate on "what if", things are what they are.

And as I said earlier, Moon isn't better than Dan Fouts, so he can't be better than Marino.

I'm like the congressman who voted against FDR in the electoral college because he didn't feel FDR deserved a unanimous vote, cept it's a random NFL QB fan poll, and I'm some random fan

Moon, Montana, Favre, Tarkenton. I'm with False Prophet, can't let Warren get swept. Marino wasn't that much better stat wise and Moon ALWAYS got his team to the playoffs.
