Steve Young On The Dan Patrick Show Full Interview / In this interview, Hall of Famer Steve Young discusses various aspects of football, emphasizing the concept of "football speed" and team dynamics.
Young differentiates "football speed" from mere athletic speed, citing Jerry Rice and Puka Nakua as examples. He explains that some players excel in full gear, while others falter, highlighting the importance of adaptability and effectiveness in a football uniform.
The conversation shifts to Josh Allen's evolution. Young admires Allen's talent but wishes he had more support. He notes that rule changes have made the game more open, favoring players like Allen who possess a strong arm and mobility.
Discussing the Dallas Cowboys, Young criticizes their inability to utilize their talent effectively, a trend spanning two decades. He attributes this to the lack of an empowered head coach, suggesting that Jerry Jones, the team owner, hinders the coaches' authority. Young argues that the Cowboys' culture of entitlement and fame exacerbates their performance issues.
Regarding the best quarterback of all time, Young concedes that Tom Brady's seven Super Bowl wins make a compelling argument for his supremacy, despite acknowledging the subjectivity of such comparisons.
On the San Francisco 49ers, Young points out their vulnerability, particularly against teams with either a strong defense or a potent offense. He believes innovative minds in today's game, like those in Miami, Kansas City, and San Francisco, are essential for success.
Young also discusses potential Hall of Famers from his former teammates, suggesting Roger Craig and Brent Jones. He reflects on his playing days with a sense of nostalgia, expressing a desire to play in today's more open and quarterback-protective NFL.
