"...trashing Warren Moon as completely unworthy because he didn't win a Superbowl..."

That's just ignorance.  Moon was a good QB who played for a mostly mediocre team.  There were a few other good players, but not enough to win the big one.  Coaching and drafts also played a role.  There are many factors that must all come together at the same time to make it to the SB and win.  It shouldn't keep a player from being recognized for his talent and accomplishments, but often, it does.   Perhaps that's why football is called a team sport.  Now, if someone thinks Moon should not be in the HOF for other reasons - like other more deserving players, or lack of stats, or lack of leadership, etc. - then that argument should be made.

Yeah, I would have been ok with Moon just missing out to someone like Thurman Thomas, but of course am thrilled to see him get in. Also glad that Rayfield Wright finally got in.
