Where does Steve Young rank as NFL QBs

Archaea

Dec 25, 3:39pm

Has to be top 50. Maybe top 25

HimmerFredette

Dec 25, 3:41pm

Montana?

Archaea

Dec 25, 3:41pm

What about him?

HimmerFredette

Dec 25, 3:43pm

Where do rank him?

Archaea

Dec 25, 3:43pm

Around 10

HimmerFredette

Dec 25, 3:44pm

He was frustratingly timely and special

Archaea

Dec 25, 3:45pm

Young or montana

HimmerFredette

Dec 25, 3:46pm

Montana. I only liked SF when Young played

Archaea

Dec 25, 3:52pm

Well I’m a cowboys fan so I have mixed feelings about that

HimmerFredette

Dec 25, 3:54pm

TNT would say #2. But Mahomes is closing

TNT

Dec 25, 3:59pm

Above Peyton? Really?

HimmerFredette

Dec 25, 4:00pm

Yeah. Montana was incredibly clutch. Just like Brady

TNT

Dec 25, 4:01pm

True. I think it is really close between Montana and Manning

HimmerFredette

Dec 25, 4:03pm

Well and there are a bunch TNT never saw play. Bart Starr, Tarkenton, Staubach

TNT

Dec 25, 4:05pm

There are a bunch I never saw play

HimmerFredette

Dec 25, 4:07pm

Aikman is extremely overrated in TNT's book

TNT

Dec 25, 4:09pm

He’s good. I am a cowboys fan so a bit biased

HimmerFredette

Dec 25, 4:10pm

Best O-line in NFL history. Also had Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith

TNT

Dec 25, 4:13pm

Ya that helps

HimmerFredette

Dec 25, 4:43pm

I saw all of them play.

Archaea

Dec 25, 4:23pm

You ARE young.

Archaea

Dec 25, 4:22pm

Me Or TNT

HimmerFredette

Dec 25, 4:40pm

Both

Archaea

Dec 25, 4:47pm

Must be above Brady, because any legitimate list has Peyton #1.

Young in many ways revolutionized the QB position along with Randell Cunningham, but Young had a better command of the

Ahead of his time, one of the first real dual threat QBs, put up good numbers

ArcticKat

Top 5

AF Cougar

Dec 25, 3:42pm

Near the bottom.

The Pope

Dec 25, 3:45pm

15-20 years ago, he often made top 10 all-time lists. Probably still top 15-20

STL

Dec 25, 3:47pm

20 years ago he was probably top 5. But there have been a ton of QBs who have

Duke Silver

Dec 25, 3:47pm

Yes, he lost years of production playing behind Montana

AF Cougar

Dec 25, 3:53pm

But I bet Montana taught him a lot. He seems like a great mentor

HimmerFredette

Dec 25, 3:58pm

Nope. He hated Steve. This is well documented. They made up a few years ago

TNT

Dec 25, 4:00pm

Oh my bad

HimmerFredette

Dec 25, 4:01pm

Steve Bono and Montana both seemed to have a thing against Young for a time

BYUBandfan

Dec 25, 4:03pm

Bono and Montana both ended up moving to KC

AF Cougar

Dec 25, 5:05pm

Definitely Top 50. This NFL.com article has him at 15

Revolution

Dec 25, 3:48pm

I would go with Steve over Tom Brady any time.

BYUBandfan

Dec 25, 3:58pm

Oh cmon. That is just a little too blue goggled

TNT

Dec 25, 4:06pm

1994 Steve was incredible

Odysseus

Dec 25, 4:14pm

He was. Brady has six (seven?) NFL rings and was crazy clutch

TNT

Dec 25, 4:15pm

And for the record Steve Young is TNT's favorite QB of all time

TNT

Dec 25, 4:17pm

Yes, Young was great. But 2007 Brady was perfect.

Revolution

Dec 25, 4:27pm

Like Steve, Tom benefited from having good coaches and teammates around him.

BYUBandfan

Dec 25, 4:17pm

If Steve has started our on a good team instead of the LA Express and TB Bucs

BYUBandfan

Dec 25, 4:20pm

Top 10-15, but at his peak I’d say Top 5

Odysseus

Dec 25, 4:03pm

Top 15, IMO. Maybe Top 10. He was really good. Better than Bradshaw for sure.

Japan Coug

Dec 25, 4:48pm

Top 15 for sure.
