A two-time league MVP, he completed 2,667 of 4,149 passes for 33,124 yards and 232 touchdowns, with 107 interceptions, and 43 rushing touchdowns. He was a passer first, but if nothing there, he wasn't afraid to run it.
Hard to call a Hall of Fame QB underrated but Steve Young will never get the credit he deserves because he stepped into a winning program and followed Joe Montana but only won one Super Bowl.
Many people don't even think of him as a running QB, but he was one of the best. Cam Newton is the only QB with more rushing tds than Young's 43 and only 3 QBs (Vick, Cunningham, Newton) have more career rushing yards than Young's 4239.
He had a cannon for an arm and was very smart.
He is the only QB in history to lead the league in passer rating 6 times, and he won 2 league MVPs.
Yet almost no one mentions him as one of the greatest QBs ever.
