- Steve Young is The Most Efficient QB in NFL History...(Payton 2nd) Retired with the highest QB rating of all time and in my opinion arguably the best duel threat QB ever...but that's a whole other video...Having to follow in Joe Cool's footsteps is almost impossible to achieve but Young did it minus 3 less Super Bowl rings but blew by Montana production wise...Young still holds the record with 6 td passes in a Super Bowl game...He was inducted in to The Hall of Fame in 2005 and does commentary for the NFL...Bottom line might be the most underappreciated QB in the history of the sport...Like, share and subscribe if you haven't...Thank you for the support and all the love đŻ% đ

Young Steve Young looks like he'd make a great super man
Qb face is a real thing!!
Oddly enough thatâs what we used to call him when we watched him play. Weâd say âhere comes Super Manâ.
He does look like Christifer Reeve.
Who says he wasn't?
Funny thing is that he appeared in an episode of the Lois and Clark TV series.
My favorite athlete of all time.. the reason im a life long niner fan.. my daughter was brought home in a steve young jersey! Long live the legend
jygjgyukj
Playing after one of the âgreatestâ qbs in 9er history wasnât easy, yet Steve Young did it. Great player and person!
you gotta love Steve Young.
If you don't, you have no heart.
That man is everything his father taught him to be.... Tough!
âSteve Young, the ultimate dual threat QB!âđ
Steve Young was one tough sob. That guy could take a hit. He's the Goat. I'd take him over any Q.B.
Ima lefty so u kno I'm not faking my agreement
I'd like to see Tom Brady take fraction of the hits Young took.
Given our offensive line back in those days it's a wonder he survived.
Young and Marino are my two favorites
Brady playing in any Era from 1995 and before, weâd never even know his name.
My favorite player of all time. Watching Steveâs journey was amazing, like a movie
Ya it is 8th sting at BYU almost went home as he was very homesick
I am a Niners fan, and a lefty, so this man was was my Montana, and I grew up on this man. Miss him as our QB.
Underappreciated
Imagine how good he would have been if he had got to play more years and also played in the statistic inflated era of today with rules protecting the QB like today??? God mode!
Huge cowboys fan but Steve Young will always be my favorite player. Not only was he one hell of a dual threat but he's left handed which as a young boy was something to look up to as I'm also left handed
I duck
STEVE YOUNG ONE OF MY FAVORITE QUARTERBACKS GREATEST LEFT HANDED QUARTERBACK PERIOD!!!!!!(8) âïžđđđ
If you thought Steve Young was a downgrade after Joe Montana you better think again. Was his play style different, of course but Steve Young was amazing. Such a cerebral athlete đđŒ. On the side of intangibles, Young has an amazing self deprecating sense of humor which had to have helped him game time. We were so spoiled as 49ers fans during this era.
Yeah, you guys had HoF QB talents for something like 20 years between Montana and Young. Absolutely nuts
Steve was better than Montana - He just had a different level to his game. Better scrambler, more accurate passer. Montana was probably more clutch, but if you were to drop prime Young into today's game, he'd be blowing shit up. Couple Brees' accuracy with Newton's legs and combine that with QB friendly rules in today's NFL. Young would easily be in the mix with Mahomes, Rodgers, Wilson for the best QB in the league.
@@RockChalk263 Joe was FAR more clutch.
Hell I'm a cowboys fan but young is my favorite player
Steve Young was Russell Wilson before I ever saw Wilson play for Wisconsin. He was waaaaay ahead of his time and played when Ronnie Lott could hunt you down and end your career with one hit. QB's are so protected nowadays.
Led the league in passer rating 6x
This is great. Seems like this has had some content added in the past year, particularly regarding Young's college career. Grateful for your post.
GREAT video! Thanks for the upload
Thank you sincerely for the upload. However, I don't think I'm alone in saying you Bastardized Young's Iconic run against the Vikings with all the cut aways and rewinds.
Awesome vid showing steve young's beginings and to retirement. Loved watching this guy get it done. Very awesome section of career plays 3/4 iof the way into this vid. Simply awesome.
I was and am a fan of both 8 and 16. Now its todays never say quit #13 and yrs before that #11 . Cannot say enough absolute super vid. đđđ
Why did you feel like you had to edit and cut up Young's greatest TD run against the Vikings? It should have been seen in it's entirety. It kind of cheapens and deflates such a great play.
During the 1989 and 1990 NFL seasons, the 49ers had unbelievable depth at quarterback, perhaps the best ever in all of NFL history. It was Joe Montana backed up by Steve Young backed up by Steve Bono. During those two seasons in particular, Joe Montana was easily the best quarterback in the NFL. But the backup at that time, Steve Young, was so good that he was probably the second best quarterback in ALL of football. In other words, the 49ers backup quarterback was better than all 27 other STARTING quarterbacks in the NFL, besides Joe Montana. THE BACKUP !!! So the 49ers in the 1989 season and the 1990 season had the two best quarterbacks in all the NFL, at that time, together on their roster. That is insane. And third string qb Steve Bono was very, very good as well --good enough to start for a lot of teams himself. It is a miracle that the 1990 Giants just barely kept the 49ers from three-peating. Montana was down and out but Steve Young was ready to light into the Bills in Super Bowl 25.
It was a Roger Craig fumble that kept the 49ers from repeating. Uggghh!
Joe Montana was Never Hurt, they had him sit out and made it look like Steve young and Roger Craig Lost that Game. I've been a Niners fan since 1981 NFC Championship, the Freemasons control all sports, if not for scripting these game the 49ers should by far have the most Superbowl, and Dan Marino should have At least 2 Superbowl, if Adults can't see that these games are Scripted, why in Hell is a QB like Thomas Brady better than Montana, Steve young, Brett Farve or John Elway. The Patriot Act was introduced, and then the New England Patriots started winning Superbowls. How week was the AFC East became for a week Franchise to take over as the Greatest team ever when you look at the Roster of The 1994 San Francisco 49erss, they have more Hall of Famers than all of the draft picks of The Patriots. Can you say "The National Fixed Leauge".
28:49 This was when I started to love Young. Montana was my fav but being a lefty myself and the way Young would scramble fearlessly was excitingly different. Young was one of the best to have ever played.
My GOAT!
Definitely not underappreciated by this 49er fan. I used to have a poster of him as a kid. Now have a '94 throwback jersey of his. And the best run ever as a quarterback against Minnesota, not to mention the best Super Bowl performance ever by a quarterback (6TD's) as you mentioned. A chef with the left, slicin' n dicin' defenses. He was and always will be my starting quarterback. #ForeverYoung
Yep he will always be my favorite qb
I am a left-handed fella, and if you ask me, Steve Young is the most bad ass lefty of all time. Idc about the presidents, actors, authors, or other athletes. The GOAT Lefty bar none.
@@The.Kyle.Scott. Bill Walsh was a lefty, too.
6 TD's in 3 quarters! They should have ran up the score!
2x league MVP
Super Bowl 29 MVP
3x Super Bowl đ Champion
My favorite athlete ever with a mobb deep intro? Cant beat that
This guy was awesome.
Great job editing this video into a fine tribute. Aldo reqlly ldig the music you made/chose for this!
Appreciate you
Stone Cold Steve Young was a awesome greater Quarterback with 49ers without a doubt he was a excellent duel threat QB he won a super bowl championship in 1994 i appreciate of what he brought to the game he is a one of a kind player
One of the best mobile and left handed QB to ever live.
I know sitting behind Montana helped him but If he started since his rookie year heâd be known as the greatest statistical player to ever play. Definitely apart of top 3 most talented QBs in all aspects
Couldn't agree more. His 2 year stint in the USFL, his time at Tampa, then sitting behind Montana totally limited his time. I was at his last game at Candlestick when he got a concussion. It was so sad to see him go and never come back.
He might have been when he retired, but these modern day guys would have still passed him.
And it's not like he didn't have a shot, he didn't make it in Tampa Bay. Those coaches in SF got the most out of him.
Top 3? Must be a whiner fan you do know he played in the USFL also Tampa Bay and with the team the whiners had at the time he won only 1 superbowl. I cant even see how he got in tbe HOF. Too 3 you smoking shit. If he was that good with the team they had he should had won more but he couldnt he wasnt montana who by the way beat young with the chiefs. Stats dont tell the whole story and young was a good descent qb but could only take the whiners once to the ultimate goal enough said NOT even in the top 10
@Swine-Flew Ummmm... no quarterback before or during had numbers as good. Now days with all of the rule changes, an average QB puts up a 100 passer rating. It's not a fair comparison, the game is so different. Apples and oranges.
Young #1 player in NFL for 6-7 years straight. Who else can say that?
Brady, Manning, Rogers, and Brees were changing, that #1 spot weekly.
@sactown steelers Really? 1 game? Even the best teams lose to random teams once in a while. There are so many guys on the field...not 1 on 1
He would be more unstoppable in the nfl today.
Yes for sure
With the no-touchee-the-QB rules these days Young would have been able to play over 20 years and accomplished such much more. Have watched many QB's over the years, he has to be the toughest QB to defend.
The one stat of his that jumps off the chart to me is he has MORE rushing TDs than Gale Sayers?!?! That's unbelievable considering GS once scored 6 TDs in one game, against, who else, the 49ers.
20:51 felt like I was watching bizarro world tv with the rolls completely reversed
Steve was the greatest "backup" qb in history
great person
My favorite of all time! And this was in the era of Montana, Elway, Bradshaw (end of his career), McMahon, Plunkett, Kosar, Jim Kelley (who remembers the missed field goal?), Doug Williams, Boomer, Broken leg Joe, Randall, and Dan Fouts! Long live Air Coryell..
Steve Young is still my favorite of all time
Watching this team growing up are some amazing memories. What a dynasty.
Thanks!
Was a nfl fan since 1985 first of the bears,then I heard there was a team named sf 49ers with Montana/young sine then until today die hard niners fanđȘđžđđđđđđșđžđđ
jim kelly and steve young left some impressive numbers back in the USFL.
warren moon left most nfl qb's numbers up in canada.
Dude made me a 9ers fan js
Steve Young is an awesome QB. Heâs really nice too. I met him when he visited Cisco Systems to promote Super Bowl 50.
GroĂartig đȘ
As a 33 YR niner fan , I was obviously drawn to this vid
Just had big boots to fill. Great qb on his own right.
Steve young is the best , great person and athlete!
Steve-o was a beast! đȘđ
Its funny that all the great ones had someone in their life that told them they would never be great. They also had ones that said they would be. With that being said, all the great ones had to make a choice on who they would listen to. The answer is always obvious. The positive people.
It was hard for me to like this guy when he took montanas job lol but respect his talent as one of the best scrambling qb.
Steve was electrifying.
Can you please tell me what the music beat is that starts at the 33:34 mark and the one at the 1:00:00 mark. I got to have them ! Very inspirational!
In my opinion he and Collinsworth are the best commentators in the NFL
Definitely among the better color commentators. I agree.
I have a Forever Young T-shirt that became worn out from wearing so much. Years of use created holes and such. When I started dying my hair I would use that t-shirt while the dye did it's thing. 30 years later I still can't get rid of the holey stained t-shirt. Love Steve Young. :)
Steve Young is the greatest player to ever play at BYU, change my mind.
Does a one legged duck swim in circles, genius?
Jim McMahon. He played for a Neanderthal team. Not only did he know NFL passing better then the offensive coordinator. He then had Iron Mike take over play calling. Look up vikings game 4 of 85 season. Ditka was not going to let McMahon play cause he didn't practice cause back spasms.
So fuller is having plays that McMahon doesn't get called. Like after a 7rd run by Payton on 1st down. Throw a 25ydpass over the middle. Int. Whole 1rst half McMahon is standing 5yards behind a maybe 5yds behind Ditka behind the direction of off. He has his helmet in hand for 2nd qtr. He is just making comments. Finally it's 20-7 vikings 3rd qtr. After first bear drive fails they get the ball back. Ditka just turns an realized he was gonna lose game. McMahon s first play he called was a 75yd tx to Gault. 3 an out. 2 play 45yd td pass. 5th play another td 3 for3 145 yes 3 tds. If not for Ditka ego the bears should have won at least 1 more title.
This guy still is 1 of The Toughest Quarterbacks, if not the only one in the NFL,of all time taking off running and breaking tackles like a bulldozer running over or evading everyone. GO NINERS
Steve young was the best qb to ever play passing and running. Duel threat
To each his own.
In my eyes Joe Cool Montana is the #1nfl QB to grace the field. A legend. So beautifully mesmerizing i just love watching him throw. That arm, precision.
1:04 Young throws a touchdown pass to Brent Jones vs New Orleans
1993/94
3com Park
kids donât know this guy makes mahomes look like a little girl
I forgot how dominating Steve Young was.
đ
I grew up in the 80's watching Montana win 4 rings. As hard as it is, I had to admit it was time to move on to the Steve Young era.
A 10 QB!!! NOTHING HE COULDN'T DO AND DO GREAT!!!
and at the same time such humility.
Steve Young's longest run from scrimmage ever as 49er was 49 yards. That is outstanding. Hard as it is to believe, Joe Montana, of all people, actually had a longer run from scrimmage as 49er quarterback. In the second quarter of the 1984 NFC divisional playoff, where the 49ers beat the Giants 21-10, Joe Montana took off running out of the pocket and headed up the sideline for an incredible 53 yards. It was quite shocking to see.
It was the third qtr.
@@johnre5342 Yep. I stand corrected. It was indeed the 3rd quarter.
@@scottmitchell3641 yeah it was 3rd and 10. he tricked LT into thinking he was going out of bounds and he quickly turned up the sideline and CB Perry Williams caught him from behind.
@@johnre5342 You're right. You could definitely see LT slow up noticeably from his trailing position as he expected Montana to just continue on the same course he was currently on and go straight out of bounds. But then Montana made that sudden pivot.......
Moments later CBS showed Bill Parcells shaking his head, as if to say, "How could we let the quarterback, (the quarterback!!!!!) run on us like that?? 53 yards!! by the quarterback??!!"
People forget that in his early years Montana was a mobile quarterback.
Young had the best peak of any QB ever... Montana was the best overall QB of all time though...1. and 2. All time...Brady played with much better talent and coach
Almost agree wit errthing u sed but imagine if like brady..joe & steve couldn't be touched like 2days player
Maybe more than any other pre 2000s QB prime Steve Young would shred the modern league. His mobility accuracy arm strength intelligence & leadership combined with the post 90s pro offense & QB protection rule changes would be instant dominance.
Facts scott !! Steve Young is my 3rd fave qb of all time behind kelly and moon..I'm a lefty as well
Probably the best white running QB ever. For the best running QB ever say he crafted his game after Steve is huge. I can recall spitting out my beer watching that Viking run.
Joe Cool = Stevie Y
When Joe Montana was traded to the Chiefs, many 49ers fans couldn't stand Steve Young at that time and I understood why of course. One night I was heading home from work while listening to the local 49ers Radio Sports talkshow, people wear calling up and was bashing poor Steve. I took out my phone and called the show, basically saying; "I know we've just lost one of our best QBs of all time in Joe Montana. But I happen to know the tyoe of person Steve Young is, because I'm a huge BYU fan)" and that within less than 5 years, he'll win us our 5th SB." Then I hang up the phone. Sure enough, within two years he won đ in the 1994 season. And the rest is history.
Highest passer rating in NFL history
Man, I STILL have nightmares about that game when Jerry made the most STUPID mistake by not humbling himself, and respecting Jimmy Johnson and hiring Barry Switzer. And we still almost won that game.
No, you didn't. And it showed in 95 rematch.
Dallas said they were glad they played against young instead of Montana

Give Steve the coaching and team that Brady was blessed to have and he would have won the same amount of Super Bowls as Brady,guaranteed!! You can add Aaron Rogers and Dan Marino with Steven Young!
Young actually has 3 Super Bowl rings, one less than Montana.
only person i put above montana and young is brady, only because of the record.... but when it comes to plays most def its young and montana 2nd.
This Video gave me so much Anxiety....the editing was driving me crazy...
Today's football is so sensitive compared to old days...
Only QB I can recall catching his own pass(twice I believe). 23:15 dude needs to just close eyes in tanning bed and not wear the little glasses. Dudes (or women) shouldn't need tanning beds anyway. Get your ass outside lol.
Steve said "Somebody take the monkey off my back" and ole buddy said it's a gorilla.. Gorilla was exactly right, no better way to describe it if Joe Montana was your predecessor..
You have to remind that Steve Young lost about seven great years with the LA Express, Bucs and sitting behind Joe Montana. If he played those years he would have broken a lot more QB records.
Byu.... Chills still 2nd best ieva saw at the position better than montana sat for years got his chance BEST supa bowl eva 6 t d.s nvr done AGAIN brady first but.. heart u can't measure
I donât know who produced this video but the way it was edited is crap. Thereâs this thing called continuity. Itâs a great story that wasnât done justice.
Lefty young was nasty đł definition of duel threat QB accurate and could đââïž đââïž run cam Newton was never a accurate qb people and I'm from NC luv my 49ers but the panthers was formed when I was in high-school,luv my niners and I like the panthers and cam would miss wide open receivers multiple times every game
Already seeing most of this footage before, the motivation to continue watching was squashed by the many instances of video bits being used four times in a row, irritating me and wasting my time. Iâm moving on.
Hell no had a team around him that the only way he made it not lik joe he was the team
Stabach his idol
Aaron Rodgers? Russell Wilson?
Their prime pales in comparison to Steve Young
Whose toughest competition consisted of the Dome Patrol Linebacker Saints Brett Favre and the Packers The Cowboys Jim Everett Kevin Greene and the LA Rams The Buccaneers đŽââ ïž
Nah forever Steve Young
Ed debartolo greatest owner ever!
Africa
Joe Montana put it together with Bill Walsh - Young got his But kicked by Joe Montana & Kansas City.... Terrible Loss
Is Steve Young Mahomes father
I'm not going to watch a video that has 16 different levels of volume, from audible to not audible in any way.
So da most accurate QB ever ranked #81 on da all-time players list...blasphemy!!!
U guy are crazy better than joe nuts
Steve was great but this video and all the cut back replays, from good quality cuts to bad video cuts almost made me stop watching
I love Steve Young, he is clearly a great QB one must remember comparing Montana/Young is comparing 2 different eras. It was easier to pass in the 90s than 80s. He should have better #s
@@hydros25 it was a little easier in the 90s than the 80s but not too much. The real difference between the 2 of them is joe was a much better playoff qb than young.
FUCK you, you piece of shit. SY4L
@@hydros25
You didnt even read what i said.
Major rule changes in 1994 kick started the new era. So yes Steve had it easier than Joe because it was an easier decade
@@integrity101
And what might those "major" rule changes be?
â@@BeefPapa
Look at the 1994 rule changes. Young is still a great HOFer.
Super weird and irritating instrumental you played during both sequences that were without any dialogue, strictly highlights... Oi
I worry about this warrior CTE with his style Steve was different a good man.
Blah. How many NFC championships did he lose? He is 1-3 in NFC Championships. He was a great statistically but when it came to actually winning in the big games he was not consistent. He always lost to Dallas and Green Bay. And if Jimmy Johnson had not left, he might have lost 3 straight NFC Championship games. Give me Joe Montana over Steve Young when it comes to actually winning championships and Super Bowls.
Young? He ranks #35 of all time.. --> Joe Montana is #2 greatest quarterback to have ever played the game!
He lost to charle haliy tht is da real story plus why da hell u get rid of ricky water
