Steve young didn’t have to rely on his legs the way Vick did, so he didn’t have the sheer volume of rush attempts that Vick did, but watching his highlights, that man did things with his legs that you’ve never seen Vick do, not even close. He’s got that slippery style that Lamar has, drawing in defenders real close and slipping off their tackles with ease, and his maneuvering in the pocket is a lot more like Lamar’s, where Vick is just rolling out and sprinting to buy himself space as soon as he sees trouble, Lamar and young are climbing, dropping, sidestepping, dipping, and resetting their feet to get their eyes downfield without breaking the pocket.
I really underestimated what I thought I knew about Steve young lol and I suggest maybe you take another look at him. If Lamar is the greatest dual threat qb we’ve ever seen, id say Steve young fathered his style, not Vick. The long speed and both being black QBs are what the comparison is based off of, the actual skill set though is way different and I’ve always thought that.
And btw, I think Vick is overrated af. I watched him live, falcons and eagles, I was a Vick fan, supported him on his return to the league, but with Lamar’s emergence suddenly Vick is brought back into the spotlight and people are so scared to say Lamar is better that now folks are reaching to hype up Vick, he was different, not special, not a rare talent, just a really fast and shifty guy with a strong arm who played qb, but overall skill set Vick was kinda trash, the film and the stats all back it up as well, he was absolutely horrible as a passer up until he teamed up with Andy Reid and actually worked to develop his game
