Ngl the only uniform that I’ll ever say came close to my Chargers Powder blues was those Oiler Uniforms ✨ Something about that sky blue with white and touches of Red. With a Qb wearing number 1 and throwing it into the sky like it was sailing. ⛵️ Must’ve been fun times for Houston.
As kids learning football we knew about Joe Montana, John Elway, and Jim Kelly but when we seen Warren Moon for the first time we were blown away. A professional football qb that was black like us! We fought over who got to be Warren moon in our backyard football wars. The good old days.
Facts fam..I grew up a football junkie loving the oilers / bills fan..watching the run & shoot and k gun offense.. alot of oiler games growing up in houston.. seen alot of great qb play..moon,Kelly, elway, marino, Montana, young,Favre, Cunningham etc..those 90s qbs were tough..now I'm a titans fan
It's a crime that this man was robbed so much because of his race and still ended up being an all-time great and hof'er even though they stole his mostly nfl prime.......Love Warren Moon!
Honestly the CFL was the best thing for him. He was average in college. He would have been a late pick at best. Which he probably wouldn't have gotten a lot of chance to develop. The CFL gave him that chance. He definitely no doubt faced racism at every step. But ultimately the CFL was best for him at the time
@@paulluna6379IDK about you but if I see a player win 5 TITLES in ANY league out of 6 years I’d say he’s more than ready to leave that league. I’d actually say he never needed to be there in the first place.
Born in 1965 in Edmonton I have so many memories of going to Eskimo games and watching him hook up with Brian Kelly at WR. 5 consecutive Grey Cup championships! Truly the best!!!
For those who says blacks can’t play QB, Warren Moon did it in college, CFL, NFL than made the HALL OF FAME. He was a winner in all level. The man could pass.
I grew up watching him. I was never an Oiler fan but was always a Moon fan. I looked up to him. The way he carried himself on the field and off. He was sich a TRUE PROFESSIONAL
Warren was a very special mentor & friend up here in cold Edmonton. Warren always remembered who you were & asked how your family was doing. So great to see him Edm.Eskimos reunion yrs ago! The Best in Football Ever🤩💯
In 1997....i got tickets to a seahawks vs ravens game in memorial stsdium because i wanted to watch warren moon play.....it was a treat to see him....very fast release......brought back memories of going to colt games with my father....
I didn’t grow up knowing what Moon had gone through. This was good to see. I was fortunate to meet him once at a Western Auto in Houston. Such a great person. He was and still is my favorite quarterback of all time. I still remember the Oilers of old. Luv Ya Blue!
Grew up in the 80s and 90s Moon was always a hero of mine. Perhaps the greatest gun slinger the run and shoot only really work under Moon and that awesome Houston team of the 90s. Such a dynamic team many late night MNF heroic moments from my childhood.
CJ Stroud vibes. Both from L.A., both the man of the house at a young age, both "not smart enough to play QB in the NFL," both throw a picture perfect ball. Hope CJ can bring one home for Warren.
I was definitely blessed as a kid growing up in Houston watching him play. I wanted to be like Warren Moon and throw a tight spiral like he did! Still to this day nobody has thrown a ball like him!
I grew up in H-Town & was a huge Oilers (RIP) & Moon fan. Moon was the trigger man of the run & shoot offense & both were 30 years ahead of their time. I can only imagine what type of numbers he would’ve put up in today’s pass happy/no defense NFL…🏈
Warren Moon was my favorite QB growing up and made me an Oilers fan. Watching him throw darts in the run and shoot offense was amazing. Definitely deserving of the HOF.
All I can say is I respect this human, not because hes was an ahtlete or the first to anything but because he's a strong man who continue to move forward regardless of the pain and hurdles and everyone knows that is not easy.
Warren was a perfect man to have on your team. Beautiful passer throwing the ball and leader on the field. He proved that on both sides of the border. HOF'ER in both leagues.
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!
What an amazing f'ng story. The Oilers were my team since 78' when Earl arrived. I did not know Moon's back story and this was inspiring and moving. Good stuff!!!
Great story, I remember the early 90s Oilers as a 2nd grader in 92. Them Oilers should of faced the Cowboys in the SuperBowl that year. In regardless what a great story win or loose.
When were in the 9th grade same year that he was in the 9th grade I threw for 1,500 yards and he was the talk of Texas Coaches how he threw for 3,500 yards that year and his Coach sent his games films to every college in the nation, with his stats and his last name Moon we that he was White seeing a picture of him we were Amazed , I meet him in person in Houston 1982 at a Pennzoil Chemical youth conference, I told him, that he had accomplished More than our generation of 1956 than anybody We knew of I told him Sir I am Acres Home Proud of Him. Be Blessed Warren against All Odds .
Canadian football fans still revere Warren Moon and Doug Flutie... two great QB’s who weren’t any NFL team’s choice but changed a lot of minds along their journeys.
One paved the Way for Black QBS and another Paved the Way for Shorter (Under 6 ft) QBs. Both pioneers in my book. As a Charger fan we got to see Doug Flutie “Magic” on Sundays. He mentored Drew Brees who happened to become the *ALL TIME* passing yards leader. Would you look at that impact.
Remember him from the "Quarterback Challenge" days in the summertime on NBC -- he's the reason my brother and I used to do our own course in the backyard, using whatever we could find (music stand, kiddie pool, picnic bench, etc.); we wanted to be Warren Moon. Such great memories....Thank you, Sir!
It's funny to see Felicia Moon leveled up in rank from "Highschool Girlfriend" to "College Girlfriend" as the documentary went on and then completed quest as "Former Wife"
Now that Tom Brady has retired, having played till he was 44?, Warren Moon could have stats comparable to Brady's. But Warren did spend 10 years in the Canadian Football league, 10 years of QB stats could have been added. He would be above Tom Brady. And more teams than Tom Brady.
6 years in Canada. The CFL is a great league but a different game. Imagine being in Edmonton with Gretzky and Warren Moon winning all those championships in a row at the same time
@@JBTriple8 I know, among other rules, they quicken the pace, you have to make 10 yds in 2 downs, the 3rd down, unless your close enough dor a dive across for the 1st down, you'll have to punt. I wish the NFL had that deep an end zone. Its so expansive and deep, But I didn't know that Warren Moon went to Washington University, the same school that had a QB named Sonny Sixkiller. 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.
I'll never forget my Dad at Chiefs training camp, asking Warren to sign an autograph because I hadn't gotten one all day. Warren reluctantly obliged. He didn't have to. The man was all business and 14 year old me didn't know what that looked like. Huge thanks to him for doing that.
It was a wonderful time to be a football fan in Edmonton! Wilkinson….’the dwarf’ gave way to Moon. Tom used to get beat up pretty good, but he’d put that flack jacket on and tough it out. He was a warrior! My favorite guy on the team was George McGowan. He had unbelievable hands and was the reason I became a receiver. As luck would have it, in ‘79? 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. You don’t win without defense, and He was an absolute Gem at the linebacker position
Marino has the best quick release in the history of the NFL. I don't know if it's even debatable. There have been guys with stronger arms and perhaps more arm talent, but Marino's release was insanely quick. Also, Warren Moon would absolutely cook in today's NFL. He deserves way more respect and recognition than he gets 🔥
Say what you want about him but there's one thing for sure Mr.Moon was a class act not only as a player but as a person aswell and more so he paved the way for many black QBs in giridon football 🏈,HOF deserve!
I recall an Eagles Oilers Monday night game in the late 80s. I watched a Moon closer to the end of his career, and a Randall Cunningham closer to the start of his. It was great watching them battle it out. Cunningham had huge respect for Moon.
The last words of this were tone deaf. If Moon played those first 6 seasons in the NFL they would still be chasing his numbers. He still at the time of his retirement finished top 3 TD's , Yards and completions.
What bothers me about this is the fact i used to be a piece of the problem . Growing up i got involved in something i now regret and now i care about and respect everyone no matter who they are cause we all are humans and we all do matter . We all need each other in a cruel world
Warren Moon threw the tightest spiral consistently more than any QB I've ever seen. He and Randall Cunningham paved the way for the black quarterbacks in the NFL today.
That Run n Shoot Oiler offense was one of the most entertaining offenses I've ever seen. It's a shame they never made it to the Super Bowl. They definitely had the talent. Warren was an amazing QB !
Oilers choosing Cody Carlson over Warren Moon is one of the greatest personnel blunders in NFL history. Carlson hurt his knee and shoulder, played terribly in five games, finished the season on IR, flunked his offseason physical, and never played again in the NFL.
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.
The fact the dude played in Canada, at his peak and then came to the NFL, with arguably his best years behind him, but he still kicked arse is unreal. If he had a better defensive set-up with Houston, man he could well have been the GOAT. Seems to be a fantastic bloke as well. Its utterly ridiculous, nay hsameful, that having a black guy at QB! was off limits. Moon, my God, what a classy passer! Just look at that sling, and that spiral. He's also got S Super Bowl ring, from Seattle as well.\ as a commentator. So, yeah thats fantastic he has one.
Man no one back then can slice through a defense like Moon and company could. That first half against the Bills in the comeback game was you gotta be kidding me
Man our team was blended but dominated by mostly black me besides Lambert and Hamm . Doug Williams won a Superbowl with the redskins and again the Steelers had Kordell Stewart then came McNair, Vick McNabb, Cunningham. Race is lame if you can ball you get respect but Texas is to this day top 5 racist states in USA. Warren Moon is a legend and HOF QB and he's in the history books nobody can change because he is heart and a baller
Damn he had a pretty pass. He seems like such a good dude. He was fun to watch. Bottom line....the dude was a badass! "We were over the Moon" Ha! Nice.
Warron Moon was not only the greatest Black Quarterback but one of the greatest Quarterback period.
That part
That is where you went wrong....why bring up race
Nope.
The
But there are many great black QB’s so I’m not sure that he is the G.O.A.T. but for sure the best passer
Those Oilers uniforms were gorgeous.
Ngl the only uniform that I’ll ever say came close to my Chargers Powder blues was those Oiler Uniforms ✨ Something about that sky blue with white and touches of Red. With a Qb wearing number 1 and throwing it into the sky like it was sailing. ⛵️ Must’ve been fun times for Houston.

One of the greatest in my opinion
Absolutely no doubt
Nobody threw a prettier spiral 🏈
u know his birthday is coming up nov 18 the same as minds and the only black qb in th hall of fame
Agree
Not opinion. FACTS
Moon rocks. Ernest Givens that dude had guts great little receiver
It's a crime that this man was robbed so much because of his race and still ended up being an all-time great and hof'er even though they stole his mostly nfl prime.......Love Warren Moon!
A HOFer in two different football leagues too. He's a HOFer in the CFL and NFL.
Wrong! He probably was just entering his prime when the Oilers signed him.
Honestly the CFL was the best thing for him. He was average in college. He would have been a late pick at best. Which he probably wouldn't have gotten a lot of chance to develop. The CFL gave him that chance. He definitely no doubt faced racism at every step. But ultimately the CFL was best for him at the time

Warren Moon threw the greatest tightest spiral i have ever seen from any quarterback ever! One of the all time greats.

These videos Always makes a grown man cry
Great man. Hard work and dedication pays off.
As a kid, I had to move to Canada and live there... being able to watch Warren in the CFL and collect his cards...made it bearable.
Ugh, Canada Eh
I’m not sure if I would’ve lasted in Canada
I assume it’s a little colder than the American northeast
What a great player and an even better man
Being a die hard Chiefs fan since the 80’s I loved it when we picked up Warren in ‘99. He was a great asset to the franchise.
Probably my favorite QB of all time. A gun slinger and I'm a diehard NY Giants fan. I love WARREN MOON. He had a 357 Magnum for an arm. ❤
Grew up in the 80s and 90s Moon was always a hero of mine. Perhaps the greatest gun slinger the run and shoot only really work under Moon and that awesome Houston team of the 90s. Such a dynamic team many late night MNF heroic moments from my childhood.

Great Story, told very well, super nice guy.
Thank God he came to Canada and played. Beautiful people and what a quarterback he was . What an arm

As a steelers fan growing up, Warren made me nervous.
You and me both bro, as a Steeler fan he was the only quarterback I was scared of in the AFC Central!!!!!😅
I love the game of football. It is players like Moon who built this league into what it is.
All I can say is I respect this human, not because hes was an ahtlete or the first to anything but because he's a strong man who continue to move forward regardless of the pain and hurdles and everyone knows that is not easy.
Warren was a perfect man to have on your team. Beautiful passer throwing the ball and leader on the field. He proved that on both sides of the border. HOF'ER in both leagues.
Thank u Warren Moon for all the great Passes and Memories and u still are one of the best
Just a complete QB. I was at his HOF induction. Which could be one of the greatest classes to ever go in. Prettiest pass ever.
Warren Moon was one of my favorite qbs growing up. And playing in the house of pain didn't hurt.
One of the greatest QB I've watched playing football, thanks for the memories.
Randall Cunningham, tarvaris Jackson, Steve Young, all great black QB's

Threw one of the best spirals, and highly accurate
One of the best but the best black qb ever
My grandpa use to tell me Warren Moon is the greatest don't you forget it

Alfred, man that brought a tear to my eyes.
Thank you for sharing that experience
Warren Moon wore some of the most gorgeous uniforms throughout his career. Oilers and Vikings especially.

I grew up in Edmonton and watched those Eskimo teams with Warren at QB he was incredible
He may not be the best ever, but he is my favorite quarterback of all time.
Im a Bills fans but i will always respect Warren Moon he was a great qb i actually felt bad because he did deserve a super bowl
It was a wonderful time to be a football fan in Edmonton!

Moon threw one of the prettiest balls I have EVER seen! Great, legendary quarterback! HOF
'The beginning of a long journey home...' Great line! Quite apropos...
Browns fan here...the Moon ball in flight was great..Warren made an Egg fly like a fighter Jet... it was like...wow..look at that

They had a Great run in the Late 80's to early 90's
I know no matter what the Oilers were my Team
Thanks for the Memories Mr. Moon.
That Run n Shoot Oiler offense was one of the most entertaining offenses I've ever seen. It's a shame they never made it to the Super Bowl. They definitely had the talent. Warren was an amazing QB !
Moon is a class act
Crazy how history repeats itself. The 1st Cam Newton 💪🏾😤
Warren Moon: the only player and one of only three people (alongside Bud Grant & Marv Levy) to be inducted in both the CFL & NFL Halls of Fame.
The greatest show on turf
Warren Moon was my favorite QB as a kid
Like i said im a Bills fan but i will always like and respect you Warren
To his fans. These men are extraordinary! 💐🎈
I lived in Houston when Warren Moon was playing there….great player and good person, but was unfortunate to play for a terrible owner Bud Adams.
#1. Moon ❤️🔥💯✊🏽
Oilers choosing Cody Carlson over Warren Moon is one of the greatest personnel blunders in NFL history. Carlson hurt his knee and shoulder, played terribly in five games, finished the season on IR, flunked his offseason physical, and never played again in the NFL.
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.
The fact the dude played in Canada, at his peak and then came to the NFL, with arguably his best years behind him, but he still kicked arse is unreal. If he had a better defensive set-up with Houston, man he could well have been the GOAT. Seems to be a fantastic bloke as well. Its utterly ridiculous, nay hsameful, that having a black guy at QB! was off limits. Moon, my God, what a classy passer! Just look at that sling, and that spiral. He's also got S Super Bowl ring, from Seattle as well.\ as a commentator. So, yeah thats fantastic he has one.
'Good things come to those who wait'... Tastefully delivered...
Like Warren's Cookies ;)
Man no one back then can slice through a defense like Moon and company could. That first half against the Bills in the comeback game was you gotta be kidding me
Spectacular player. He was pure. Marino's brother by another mother.
Man our team was blended but dominated by mostly black me besides Lambert and Hamm . Doug Williams won a Superbowl with the redskins and again the Steelers had Kordell Stewart then came McNair, Vick McNabb, Cunningham. Race is lame if you can ball you get respect but Texas is to this day top 5 racist states in USA. Warren Moon is a legend and HOF QB and he's in the history books nobody can change because he is heart and a baller
The the A best football life .🎉
One of the best ever. The only QB I've seen with an arm that comes close was Jeff George but unlike George, Moon was a football genius
The most conservative place on earth 🌎 Alberta Canada knew he could play qb. We loved Warren Moon eh
Great brother we love him
Damn he had a pretty pass.
He seems like such a good dude. He was fun to watch.
Bottom line....the dude was a badass!
"We were over the Moon" Ha! Nice.
To go into the HOF with Madden, is an Honor.
He was a beast on the field
So much class 😎
Any promotional athletes that want to know how to be a professional, study Warren Moon. He wrote the book on a true professional
Says a lot about someone who's biggest fan is his ex wife.. class act.. deservedly a Hall of Famer
Moon was the money QB on Tecmo Bowl.
If the NFL pick Moon early and not going to CFL. Warren Moon stats will be up there with Marino and Elway( at that time).
Well DESERVED and EARNED HOF'er congrats Mr Moon #1
THE All -Time Great not one of the greats He is THE All-Time Great
