Steve Young running QB

Once again Steve Young refers to himself as a running QB and yet every time running QBs are brought up people quickly dismiss Steve Young and Russell Wilson from the discussion because their passing ability is or became better than the normal narrative.

I do wish more dual threats would work on their game and aspire to Young’s completion percentage.

One of my favorite’s

This is by far one of my favorite podcast. I love Trey miss him on ESPN. Crazy stories he’s super charismatic and fun to listen to. Also the episode with his father was one of my favorite podcasts of all time.
