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.

Interestingly, he took over as a starter when he was 30 and played at a productive level until he was 37. I think it's that short career peak, that makes him not end up on the lists of greatest. He basically did very little until her was 30.
