In quarterback duty, he threw 33-of-79 for 411 yards with four touchdowns to nine interceptions.

Despite this, he finished as the AAFC's second leading all-time rusher and all-time leader in rushing touchdowns. He was lured out of retirement to play in the NFL in 1950. Because of the knee problems, he opted to play only defense and punting that year.
