    Steve Young is the most underappreciateded quarterback of all time. The guy is a top 5 QB of all time and nobody even knows who he is. He is the most efficient quarterback ever by far, nobody led his time with more efficiency than he is. His career avg. stats are misleading because he sat down his half of his career behind Joe Montana. Once he became a full time starter he never looked back. His stats between 1991 - 1998 are off the charts. Just google it. He led the league in passer rating 6 times between that time phrase. And his QB ratings were no joke. 101, 107, 112, 105, 97, 104. it's just insane. imagine he was a starting QB in his 20s. I'm not kidding just go look at his stats between 91 - 98. his Passing yards per attempt are out of this world. THE MOST efficient quarterback ever step on field.

He was off to his hottest start yet. He had TO, JJ, Rice- They were unstoppable and I have no doubt they would have won it all that year. Dam shame what A.Williams did. It was a different game back then where QBs were NOT protected and babied like they are today. That 8 year stretch will never be duplicated. Steve was the GOAT and still is in my book

    Also, I think Young while only being a starter for 8 full seasons still has an NFL record where he led the league in passer rating 6 times. His dominance from 1992 to 1994 is arguably the best three year stretch for a QB in NFL history.

      Agreed. And he had to go toe to toe with one of the best dynasties ever in the 90's Cowboys. Imagine if they weren't there for 3 years in a row in the NFC title game. How many more SBs would Young have.. Probably two more, almost assuredly, just based on how great those matchups were against the Cowboys every year. NFC Championship Game WAS the super bowl back then--two best teams in the league, just happened to be in the same conference

      That's what makes his accuracy so unique. He was not a natural downfield passer like Marino or Namath. Those guys were taught great mechanics by their father and brother respectively. They arrived in pro football as polished products. Steve was born a gifted athlete, his natural talents were such that he should have been a halfback or a defensive back rather than a quarterback. If you read his biography, he talks about just how raw of a passer he was throughout his early years and even in college. At BYU, he was buried in the depth chart, and he was moved to defensive back. Despite that, he eventually become one of the most accurate deep ball throwers in the history of pro football. Steve wasn't born to be a quarterback, but that was his dream, through hard work he achieved it.

    Steve Young was my favorite SF 49ers growing up. Jerry Rice was my dad’s favorite SF 49ers. Dad, I am so glad we were both able to see SF 49ers vs Tampa Bucs in Tampa, FL. Even though Jerry Rice injured his knee and we lost a very close game 13 vs 7, we had an amazing time. You passed shortly there after from cancer. But this is my greatest memory of us. Your face lit up when Young and Rice entered the locker at halftime from our end zone. Even when the dumbass Bucs fan pouring beer on us while we both wore #8 and #80. Love you dad.

    Steve Young was the first truly modern, efficient passer. His quarterback ratings in the early '90's of 98.0+ set the standard that today's quarterbacks are held to. Two MVP's in three years, and arguably should have been more. Brilliant and strangely underrated; even vilified at times.

    I'm Packers fan since 1996, I was nine years old, when my dad let me stay up and watch the Superbowl against the Patriots, but man, Steve Young was my absolute favorite QB during that era. He was then what many players are now at that position. He wasn't just a dual threat QB, he was a great scrambler, too, and he was gutsy and sticked it out instead of demanding a trade. He was great, not just as a lefty, he was all-time great.

    Thanks a ton for posting this Steve Young career highlight reel As an east coast '49er fan who became a Niner fan when I was a kid back in the '80s with the rise of Joe Montana, I'd forgotten not just how good, but how great, a quarterback that Young actually was and just how lucky the Niners franchise were to have had two consecutive H.o.F.-level starting QBs on their roster. Their decade and a half of dominance from the early '80s thru to the mid '90s would not have been possible were it not for that stroke of luck. Watching this video convinced me that he would've had three or four of his own Super Bowl titles had he not played a significant stretch of his overalm career as Montana's backup.
    Something not mentioned in the video during the segment focusing on the early-mid '90s rivalry between the Niners and the then-ascendant Cowboys was the fact that, in the season in which the Niners finally defeated the Cowboys in the NFC Championship game, those two franchises also faced-off twice in the regular season (a scheduling quirk that doesn't happen in the NFL for franchises not in the same division) -- with SF besting Dallas in both meetings.

    I started watching the NFL in 1965 with my dad in Boston, dad was a player and a coach so I learned everything about football from dad very young, I watched Brady come here and win like no QB in history, I watched, Bradshaw, Marino, Tarkington, Staubach, Elway, manning, but Steve young was the most exciting QB to watch, bar none, you never knew what he'd come up with, he had to follow Montana so we figured no way he's going to be able to fill those shoes, he didn't, he had his own shoes, and man he could run in them.

Not the direct quote, but something like that. I didn't start watching football until well after Steve Young had retired, but he's one of my all-time favorite qbs. Still a little disappointed he never got that run-back against Joe Montana.

Might actually be the only time I saw Rice ready to actually fight a guy there. So much respect for both of them, I love them both, especially as a lefty myself. Steve showed me how to do it when I was a kid, wanted to be him, and I had no problem learning to catch like Jerry. I miss those guys, but Deebo and Aiyuk, and Kittle are pretty cool too.

    Tks, Steve. Video shows us how the NFL changed in the 90's. In 1991, Young could run crazy. There we collisions, and everybody moved on. By the end of the decade, players were 3x faster and 4x larger. Every hit a potential ACL, concussion, cracked ribs - out for the season. 1999 was too much for him.
    Today you have to call penalties otherwise careers will be over every Sunday. The cult of "freaky" bodies spoiled a lot of the fun. Fortunately, Young could play when his best could be appreciated.

In an era where every QB had a low passer ratings, he had 100+ 6 of the 8 yrs. He won a SB MVP, 2 time league MVP, pro bowl every yr, 1st team all pro 3 times, 5 time completion % leader.
