During the 2006 Canadian Football league (CFL) regular season, Damon Allen surpassed Warren Moon to become the all-time passing yards leader in professional football league history. Although Allen was already the all-time leader for the CFL, Moon had overall better statistics when considering both the CFL and National Football League (NFL) statistics together since he played in both leagues.[1][2][3] As a result, when Allen surpassed Moon's combined statistics that year, it was a noteworthy accomplishment.[4] Brett Favre surpassed Warren Moon in both passing touchdowns and passing completions during the 2007 NFL season and surpassed Moon in pass attempts during the 2008 NFL season to become the leader in those categories.
Below is a listing of the combined professional football league leaders (CFL/NFL/USFL) of outdoor style professional football for passing yards, passing touchdowns, passing completions, and passing attempts.[5][6]
