Warren Moon isn’t shy about who he thinks should take the lead for the Super Bowl, as he’s putting his chips on Sam Darnold. The legendary quarterback believes Darnold’s recent performances show he’s ready for the big moment, citing his confidence on the field and ability to protect the ball as key attributes. Moon explained that Darnold has really turned around his earlier struggles with turnovers—an undeniable skill he picked up along the way.
However, Moon didn’t throw shade on Drake Maye, the other contender in the mix. While he acknowledges Maye hasn’t quite found his rhythm during the playoffs, especially due to an undisclosed injury, he still reserves respect for Maye’s physical game. In Moon’s eyes, Darnold is simply peaking at the right time. If he keeps up this momentum, who knows—Super Bowl Sunday could be his big moment in the spotlight!
