Franchise Quarterbacks Who Made Late-Career Moves to New Teams: S/D

lol yeah that was v much a Dilfer-type year for him

actually probably worse than that

the funny thing about Warner is inbetween the Rams and the Cardinals he had that weird blip with the Giants

yeah, where they benched him when the team was still fighting for a playoff position and then they crashed out with Eli playing as rookies often do

while journeymen are specifically excluded, let us nevertheless also pay homage to:

vinny testaverde (seven teams, 16th all-time in passing yards)
joe flacco (four teams, 19th)
kerry collins (six teams, 20th)
dave fucking krieg (six teams, 24th, got sacked so much)
fitzmagic (nine teams, 34th)

well, maybe not flacco

Just looked, Moon is still #13 all time in NFL passing yards behind Elway and Stafford... Think about reasonable production for six more years if he had been in the NFL his whole career and he'd be flirting with the top 5.

Dan Fouts had a tale of Johnny U's lone season with the Chargers where they were on the road where they were going over to a teammates room to have a beer and they walked in on the a bunch of the players passing a joint. Unitas saw the scene and kinda backed out saying "I guess I went to the wrong room" or something of the like.

Remember Warner's hand got busted up with the Rams and he was having all sorts of time losing the ball and fumbling - he did not have much grip in his passing hand. Some thought he was washed up but I he had a surgery and they got it straightened out before he had the late career surge with the Cardinals.

Odd thing I remember about Stabler going to the Oilers was that Dan Pasterini went to the Raiders and as I remember right him getting hurt with the Silver and Black kind of opened the door for Plunkett (I think after Marc Wilson also got hurt too). It was kind of unusual to have the QBs trade teams like that even really now.

The old school NFL trade I was always curious about was the fact that Fran Tarkenton left the Vikings to go to some horrible Giants teams for a few years and then came back to Minnesota.

Michael Vick had a couple very good seasons with the Eagles iirc
