The Kansas City Chiefs retired Warren Moon's jersey yesterday. Moon, a 2006 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, is without question one of the all-time football greats. He completed 3,988 passes for 49,325 yards (4th best in NFL history) and 291 TDs - and that's not even counting his great CFL days with Edmonton. So what's the problem?
He played only 3 games over 2 seasons for the Chiefs before announcing his retirement. In other words, my Chiefs career lasted nearly as long as Moon's did.
Warren Moon deserves accolades and recognition for his phenomenal on-field accomplishments - but not from Kansas City. For the Chiefs to retire Moon's jersey cheapens the honor for those players who truly made a difference for that team.
