Steve Young was the absolute master of reading defenses. One of his best jobs of reading what a defense was throwing at him came in the NFC Championship Game against the Cowboys during our last Super Bowl run.
I'll never forget how Madden diagrammed it -- and how UPSET Haley got -- because Young just BURNED Haley time and time again.
It appears that coaches picked out one of Haley's classic moves -- a wide sweeping rush in an attempt to get to the QB -- opened up the right side of the field for a brief second or two before the LB could move over and cover for Haley's absence.
Whenever Young spotted this move -- he just took off and ran right where Haley had been a second or two earlier. He ripped off some enormous runs in that game. And Haley was forced to abandon his signature move as the game wore on.
If that's not reading a defense, I don't know what is. But I will not forget that move to this very day.
Wow that is some legendary s**t bro!

Steve Young would throw blind passes to spots on the field, even though he could not see the receiver. He threw a touchdown pass to TO doing that. Can you imagine any of our quarterbacks throwing blind touchdown passes?
Sometimes when you say the exact opposite of the truth, and you say it enough, eventually people begin to believe it. I guess that is Napier's strategy.

I actually agree with Grant because he was talking about the playoffs. I was listening when he said that.

Mmm, it depends on the context in which this quote was spoken. If this guy was saying this about Young for the majority of his career, I'd vehemently say no. Steve Young was quite brilliant in our Super Bowl season, and every year afterward. But if he was talking about the early part of his career, then I'd say most of us would agree.

Dumbest thing I have heard. Steve Young was a great athlete playing Quarterback - early on. Sitting behind Montana and learning the offense and how to be a better QB, is what made him a Hall Of Famer.

Early on, he did rely too much on athleticism, but toward the end of his career he was carving people up. His Qb rating was over 112 in '94. You don't do that if you can't read defenses.
To this day, there are STILL people who hate Young simply because he isn't Joe Montana.
hhhaha i've been guilty of this. Its tough to watch him dominate in the regular season and then in the playoffs it was like watching a different quarterback.

This doesn't deserve a response. Steve wasn't Joe. But Steve was Steve and he was awesome and he torched defenses.
