A while back, I saw a "sportswriter" (Peter King, I think) claim that, if you think Dan Fouts belongs in the Hall of Fame, you should think Warren Moon does as well. I'm curious what others think about this assertion. I have to say, I think it has some merit, but I'd like to hear other viewpoints.
Moon vs. Fouts
- Thread starter Warnipple
- Start date
Their career numbers are very similar and neither won a superbowl. The difference would be in the era that they played. Fouts numbers were truly gigantic in comparison to his era where as moons really were not.
Fouts 73-87
Moon 84-2000

I have no problem with either of these two making the Hall of Fame. If winning a Super Bowl were a requirement, then even guys like Dan Marino would never make it.
They were both easy Hall of Fame picks.

Fouts offense was predicated by the long bomb. Moon did more slant passes. I think both are hall of famers, but Moon shouldn't have been a first ballot hall of famer. Maybe liberal voters voted him in early because of his trailblazer status. But off merit I would have made him wait a few years as his playoff record was abismal.....
