Steve Young was so passionate and intelligent. But he was also pure hearted, kind, and good. You could see it in his eyes. A GOOD human being. One of my childhood heroes.
I had to look away and mute the sound at the point when you reacted to the Packers-Niner finish. Over twenty years later, this Packer fan STILL can't get over it.
He got so much spin on the ball, his passes were so pretty. Hard to believe he threw 6 picks in a college game, he only had two games with 3 interceptions in the NFL.
No shame in it. That 94 team was one of the best ever and Steve Young was in his prime, along with Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders? Lol it’s just not fair at that point. The pokes were so good in the 90’s though…as a kid I loved that rivalry. Legendary.
Billy Bong I know it’s a joke these lists. Boy Troy was young and favre daddy. If f if deon had not signed with niners in 94, the pokes would have 3 peated.
Ditto on the Aikman video Young’s on a whole different level sure he had Jerry but still his ability to to make those throws made Jerry look good I know Jerry’s the best ever but he should be up there around Brady or Montana
I would put him right up there at the top with the greatest qb's of all time. He is by far the best dual threat qb to ever play. He is my favorite nfl qb of all time because he was so insanely competitive and was one of the very few guys who could do it all. I would put him top 20 all time.
The passer rating thing just shows you how the game has evolved to be far more pass-centric since Young's heyday in the 1990s. It started with Kurt Warner in 1999 and then blew up with Manning and Brees and Rodgers and such taking the Greatest Show on Turf template and running with it. Things are swinging back the other way now with both more running QBs and the re-emergence of the featured Running Back thanks to people like Marshawn Lynch. But the 2000s and early 2010s were definitely the golden age of the QB with the whole league essentially copying the Kurt Warner 1999 template - which was itself adapted from the Arena Football League (which is a lot more pass-centric because the Arena game is played in basketball arenas on a 50-yard field - hence a faster game with more passing and more scoring.)
yeah offensive schemes now were impacted by the 99 Greatest Show on Turf high powered offense, but we also gotta give credit to the 98 Vikings, the 1990 Run and Shoot 5 Wide Out Offense led by Warren Moon for the Oilers, and of course Bill Walsh's West Coast Offense for the 49ers in the 80s that changed football. But as for Qbs now influence on a high powered pocket qb pass style pass styles without question you gotta mention Dan Marino who pretty much rewrote the script for qbs. in his 2nd season in 1984 he threw for over 5,000 passing yds and 48 TDs in the 80s and led them to a Superbowl which was unheard of and those records stayed all the way up for over 20 years. As for Duel Threat QB from being mobile and a pocket QB before the 00s the 3 big names that usually get brought up is the Godfather of Scrambling Fran Tarkenton, Steve Young, and before the injuries Randall Cunningham
Young should be 40 slots higher than Aikman. And you can't really compare QB ratings between eras. The current rules are catered for QBs and the passing game.
Is Steve Young the first true dual threat QB in NFL history? At least, a QB who was as good of a passer as he was a runner? (And he was a prime time passer)
Young was the QB for the LA Express and played the longest pro football game ever played which lasted 93 minutes. I wonder if it's been beating yet? Here's the link if you want to spend 3 hours watching one football game. th-cam.com/video/xsLsJurXt40/w-d-xo.html
@@acenace24 I'm a 49er fan, and by default, I think Young is better than Aikman, but Aikman's completion percentage during the Cowboys' Super Bowl years were insane for the time. They weren't exactly running the West Coast Offence, either.
@@ryanm5578 I don't think Troy is bad by any stretch and he should be in the top 100. I think he has great talent and is an exceptional leader, but Steve Young is very underappreciated since he is always compared to Joe Montana. There could be arguments that Steve Young is very close to being just as talented as any QB in NFL history in my opinion.
it was that hit from what's his name from the cardinals. has his arms wrapped up and slammed into the turf. same type of hit that forced Brett Favre to retire, happened at Gophers stadium.
Little by little Jacob is starting to realize and accept that American football is a much more difficult and requires more skill and intellect than Rugby. Lol 👍🏿👍🏿
Different games man. Different skillsets. Rugby requires tons of toughness and endurance. American football requires massive energy in short bursts - and because of the constant stop-and-reset it has more specialized positions and is more like Chess than anything other sport. You want to see some really crazy athleticism and jumping, go wacth some Aussie Rules Football, or better yet go look at what all those games (and soccer) evolved from and watch Gaelic Football. Every code has it's own unique things that make it great
@@wolf2109 I was with you till you said that white men are far less superior than black. That's just ignorant for saying that, there's plenty of white men who are on par with black men as well as better than them.
@@wolf2109 HAHAHAHA!!! Dude. First off that says nothing about the quality of the game itself even if you're right. Also you need to watch more Aussie Rules man. A lot of the best players are black (either African like Majak Daw, Australian Indigenous like Liam Jurrah or Adam Goodes, or Melanesian like Nick Naitanui).
Jake Miller the only reason Aikman is ahead is because of the two offenses they were in. Aikman was in a run first offense while young had more of the west coast type offense. Either way both the most accurate qbs in nfl history.
Other than rings, he had better stats than both Troy Aikman and Joe Montana, who are both probably ranked above him. This list is garbage and outdated. This is an example of why its not worth it to watch this series
One of my favorite players ever. This guy played the game and lived his life the right way. I hope you do another highlight video for him
Steve Young was so passionate and intelligent. But he was also pure hearted, kind, and good. You could see it in his eyes. A GOOD human being. One of my childhood heroes.
Jerry Rice on that key block in Young's TD v Vikings
I'm glad you appreciate the speed of the game, and that you recognize how fast it is played. Great observation.
6:35 That was Terrell Owens, #81.
I had to look away and mute the sound at the point when you reacted to the Packers-Niner finish. Over twenty years later, this Packer fan STILL can't get over it.

Dang I am part of the first 300 views. I had no idea.
Keep it up man!
F ing young broke my heart in 94 when he ended the pokes 3 peat bid.
No shame in it. That 94 team was one of the best ever and Steve Young was in his prime, along with Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders? Lol it’s just not fair at that point. The pokes were so good in the 90’s though…as a kid I loved that rivalry. Legendary.
Your forgetting a Q B' bread and butter. The Offensive lineman. That is where all games start. The line of scrimmage.
Young is better than Aikman. What horseshit from the NFL
NFL looks at rings first over everything, kinda messed up
And it's not even close.

@@mrmcquackthehippo7802 yes. he was better than aikman.
57?!?...holy shit i feel old right now.
That receiver that got crushed in the end zone is Terrell owens. He was a baller.
Ironically that was Terrell Owens worst game of his career. He dropped everything thrown to him up till that point.
I would put him right up there at the top with the greatest qb's of all time. He is by far the best dual threat qb to ever play. He is my favorite nfl qb of all time because he was so insanely competitive and was one of the very few guys who could do it all. I would put him top 20 all time.

Young at 81 is almost criminal should be way higher
My favorite qb without question
Young should be 40 slots higher than Aikman.
And you can't really compare QB ratings between eras. The current rules are catered for QBs and the passing game.
When you watch on TV, you can't tell how fast everything is moving...
Just my opinion, but fwiw, I prefer the old picture-in-picture format, even tho it's smaller. Your head blocked that great catch lol.
Steve young is related to bringhan young in byu
That last block was Jerry Rice. :)
6:40 that's the most physically dangerous and vulnerable area of the field for a receiver

Hi again.
Tyler Sinkins hey
Looks like I'm following you!
I’ve been waiting for this reaction! My favorite QB OF ALL TIME!! Steve young = Most accurate NFL QB
“That Receiver” is Terrell Owens😂
Young at 81 is a disgrace. This man was one of the top 5 qbs of all time. Someone like him only comes once in a generation
That’s a rediculous statement 😂
@@matthewaleman4401 you definitely didn't watch young's career did you?
I agree Connor!! My favorite player ever and he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves.

Yesss you are the man! Lets go lefties!!!
#81? Who made that list?
That’s Steve Young!
MFW Young had both Jerry Rice and Terrell Owens to throw too
How in the heck is Steve Young #81, he should be top 50 ATLEAST
Troy is higher as well so how does that make sense?
@@jakemiller270 Troy should also be top 50 atleast
@@picafavo3466 No he shouldn't considering Kurt Warner and Fran Tarkenton are much better then him.
Steve Young does not even belong in the Top 100.
you also have to consider with steve. . he spent what 5 years as a back up. . . imagine where he'd have been if he took over sooner
He’s a direct descendant of Brigham young
Strange coincidence 49ers won by 49 points in the Super Bowl Steve helped win.
If I was starting an nfl franchise, I would pick Steve Young First w/o question
God loves all you people
That was the GOAT Jerry rice on that block
Not a big fan but he should be much higher
It's honestly not his fault, it you fools who won't suggest Montana.
You should react to James Harrison's workout routine.
That wr is top 3 of all time
Tom Brady is now the record holder for most yards thrown in a Super Bowl. He did it in Super Bowl LII.
Young should be significantly higher than 81. He's top 50 imo.
The 49ers violated the salary cap the year of that Super Bowl win.
Yes they did, big time. Robbed the Cowboys of a 3peat. Mind you with out bullshit calls on the day the cowboys might still have won anyway.
One of the top 7 quarterbacks EVER!
TFW a cowboys fan thinks Steve Young should be above Troy Aikman on this list. Aikman was on a better team, he wasn't better at his position.
yeah troy aikmans stats are not hall of fame numbers.
It's not even the stats, I can't make an argument that Aikman does any since thing better than Young.

Watch the playoffs!!
Gave Steve young more money than Hershel. Walker. U s f l 50 mil then Tampa bay then montana
weird how he was the BACKUP to Joe Montana. talk about stacked at QB!
you rlly need to do a vid on terrell owens
I remember when he retired. He really didn't want to, but if he took any more concussions, he could have died or gotten severe brain damage.

seriously
How is Troy above Young? I get the rings debate helps legacy, but the better player is Young in all stats besides rings.
