Best black QB (All around) ?

Question

Moon, Vick, Cunningham, Garrard to name a few are some of my top contenders... but who is the best all time????

Answer 1

Warren Moon. Prolific passer and class act.

Answer 2

oh please, its definately got to be McNabb. yes he is injury prone but hes still got 4-5 good years left to win a superbowl or two and a few more probowls to solidify himself as the best black QB of all time. even if he doesnt reach that high of a level he will have had the most potential if it weren't for his injuries.

Answer 3

Warren Moon.

Michael Vick is one of my favorite players, He had excellent speed and i think was the fastest QB to ever play the game. He had a good arm but most of the time looked to run before he even looked at the pass options, which i think got him into trouble along with his gutsy throws over the middle. I think Gerrard is average, and had an average year last year, although people made such a big deal at how he only threw 3 INT's. Look at how many TD's he threw, 18. Thats Pathetic.

Randal Cunningam was great in his prime but came back in 2001-2002 and was c**p which i think hurt his image, but none theless was a great scrambler.

My vote is Warren Moon.

Answer 4

I have to go with hall of fame QB Warren Moon.

291 TD passes

49,325 career passing yards.

80.9 career QB rating.

11 playoff appearances and 6 pro bowls in his 17 year career in the NFL.

He is in the NFL hall of fame, the Canadian Football hall of fame and the only modern black QB in the Pro Football hall of fame.

"Moon held the record for most passing yardage in professional football until surpassed by Damon Allen on September 4, 2006 [1] , held the record for most passing touchdowns in professional football until surpassed by Brett Favre on November 22, 2007, and held the record for most pass completions in professional football until surpassed by Brett Favre on December 23, 2007.[2] He still holds the record for most pass attempts in professional football history with 9,205.[3]"

Before the NFL he won 5 concecutive Grey Cup championships in the Canadian football league.

I think he is the obvoious choice.

Answer 5

I cannot even believe you would mention Garrard, Vick, and McNabb if the same topic as Moon and Cunningham.

Warren Moon.

The other people who have answered have given you the details on why, but definitely Warren Moon.

Answer 6

I say Warren Moon is one of the best QB's ever. This has nothing to do with being black. That guy could light em up in his day. The only reason Favre has more passing yards and etc. is because he has been playing longer, and in a time when the passing game is the primary attraction of the sport.

Answer 7

garrad

vick is a terrible QB

great athelete but a terrible QB

also hes in prison so its kind of irrelevant

Answer 8

Warren Moon,

Jamarcus Russell looks like the real deal but only time will tell.

Warren Moon was a great guy.

The rest were overrated and average at best. Don't get me wrong average is good in the NFL.

I hope Jamarcus AND Vince Young turn out to be great though. I am a fan of both guys.

Answer 9

Waren Moon is in the Hall of Fame. I know everyone would disagree, but nobody else on your list, including Cunningham, belongs in the same sentence as Moon.

Answer 10

Warren Moon, hands down.

Answer 11

Moon, he did it in a time when he was the only one.

He dealt with a lot of stupid c**p from racist that the guys of today don't have to (at the scale he did).

Like Jackie Robinson.

Answer 12

Warren Moon.  The rest of them are just above average.  Also, your forgetting Donovan McNabb.  If I had to make a list it would be.

1.  Warren Moon

2.  Donovan McNabb

3.  Doug Williams
