MWil23 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 For those of you that never got to see prime Steve Young, you were truly missing out. He was a FANTASTIC athlete, running a 4.5 40, threw as beautiful of a ball/tight spiral that I have ever seen, could beat you inside or outside of the pocket, in both the short and downfield passing game, and could read a defense. He was very similar to a left handed Aaron Rodgers, although more of a running threat. It took him a little time to refine his skill, but WOW was he special.

I've been on a this board for a long time, and I get this sense that people would put him on the level of Peyton Manning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecmoSuperJoe Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I want to be a homer and say Steve Young from 1992 to 1994. Homer pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I voted Favre but could definitely see the arguments for Young above him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t think there is anything Favre in his absolute Prime did that was better than what peak Steve Young could do. Young was literally Aaron Rodgers physical talent PLUS about as good at running as any QB we’ve ever seen. Like he had great vision and could break tackles.

Superman(DH23) Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 If we are talking pure peak, its very close for me between Marino and Warner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a killer unit around him, but the numbers he was putting up were staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super4 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I mean it's got to be Young or Brees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Non-homer is probably Dan Marino from 1984 to 1986. The numbers he put up were incredible for the era. Voted first team All Pro all three years. Also, the number of sacks he took during those three years were 13, 18, and 17. Even more amazing when you consider his pass attempts in that span. Folks have mentioned Steve Young like myself, but his sack numbers even during his best years weren't that fabulous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaosoy Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Prime Steve Young is the best QB I've ever seen play and I started watching when Montana was at his peak. Aaron Rodgers is the only other QB that've watched that has a similar all-around skillset but Young had that extra level of finesse and field awareness that makes him, IMHOP, the best. Kurt Warner also has a case but Young's added mobility and arm strength are a step above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
