Moon had a long career in Canada before he played in the NFL. Warner was simply a late bloomer ... he played at a small college and wasn't even the starter until his senior year, didn't get drafted, and never played in the NFL until his late 20s.

Doug Flutie actually reinforces my point. That guy was a great college QB who spent his career in the NFL mostly as a backup.

Actually he may be a good comparison. He couldn't get a starting job in the NFL because he was said to be too short. He became a Hall of Famer in Canada and then was a starter in the NFL at an age when most QBs are retired. I'll always wonder what he could have done in the NFL in those intervening years. I think he played well enough during his second NFL run to at least dispel the height concerns.
