Steve absolutely nailed the problem with Dallas. Why on Earth did ESPN fire this guy??

Always, always love when Steve is on the show. It always feels like a conversation between two friends that we all get to be a part of.

Steve Young has an excellent view of the game.

Always golden nuggets from Steve Young.

Parcells removed stars from helmets. Took a team of Troy Hambrick & Quincy Carter to playoffs. Steve is 1000% spot on!

Dan is THE MAN - a great interviewer & Steve Young is an AMAZING interviewee - please keep creating awesome content. Thank you

Roger Craig for NFL HOF! Hell yes!

Steve is the best.

Always loved and respected Steve Young, my favorite Mormon. In my mind, he's a Top-10 QB in league history, and his running presages Vick and the great Lamar Jackson. Go 49ers!

Steve= a total class guy, everything you’d ever want in a father or leader

Two GREATS, just covering the game👍🏻✊🏻

Steve Largent had football speed as well. For being "slow", no one could cover him!

GREAT INTERVIEW..

One class act interviewing another class act.

When he was at his best, Steve Young played QB in the NFL at the highest level I have seen. There isn’t as much data to go on because he started in USFL, started career in NFL with awful Bucs team, was traded to 49ers where he was a backup for several seasons. But when he took over for as starting QB for 49ers in 1992, won the MVP. Won it again in 1994. Nobody has played the position better than he did in that span. Finished career with 96.4 passer rating. That’s an equivalent of 125 in today’s NFL. Elway retired with a 79.9 passer rating. Marino 86.4. Favre 86.0. Montana 92.3. And to all you young guys whose only point of reference is the past 5-10 years, stats should be analyzed on a curve. Elway would torch today’s NFL. Back when Steve Young played, NFL defenses levied a much heavier tax to advance the football downfield. Two words. Steve. Atwater. They’d be petitioning to have him thrown in ADX Supermax if he played in today’s NFL. Ronnie Lott. When Steve Young ran with the football, there was Bill Romanowski. If Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson had to face Romanowski, they would petition congress to have him thrown in Gitmo. “This guy is crazy. He doesn’t understand that I’m precious! If I want to run with the football, he is supposed to be gentle with me! He grabbed the thumb on my throwing hand and started bending it backwards trying to snap it when I was at the bottom of the pile! There is no place for guys like this in the NFL!” 😂😂 retired NFL vets would say they expected to play against guys like Romanowski every single week. They’d feel disrespected if someone wasn’t trying to give them lifelong fertility issues or break the bones in their hands at the bottom of a pile.

Good stuff

I lived in Dallas for about a year, from mid 1987-88. The Landry era was in its final stages. Their star player was Herschel Walker, who didn't understand that the object of the game was NOT to get tackled. He just kept running into people. Steve Pelleur was the qb, but Landry was so old he would call him "Danny." I'd grown up in the Bay Area a dedicated Niner fan, so of course I was in hog heaven watching the Cowboys bumbling along. But it also gave me the chance to kind of compare the Bay Area attitude about football with Dallas, and it was an eye-opener. Don't get me wrong, the Bay Area was gaga over the Niners. When Joe Montana went down with a back injury, it was all anybody could talk about. But football in Dallas, especially the Cowboys, was an obsession, a religion and an addiction all rolled into one, and I don't mean that in a good way. It was the first time I saw detailed accounts about the draft, well into the late rounds (there were about 20 rounds back then). I remember the local TV stations had "up close and personal" specials on Michael Irvin, who was just a ROOKIE. Yes, he turned out to be great -- after a couple of mediocre seasons to begin his career -- but in comparison, I remember when the NIners drafted Jerry Rice, and the hoopla wasn't nearly as much. Irvin got a couple of drug arrests before straightening himself out. I'm not necessarily blaming his fame for that -- but being known for a fast-living lifestyle certainly didn't help. So I can see exactly how Cowboy players get a sense of entitlement, and how it might undermine their performance on the field. The team's hype machine makes them think all they have to do is show up and their opponents will cave. And when that doesn't happen, they find out that it's not that easy to muster the extra effort you need to win, superior talent or not.

Steve criticism of Josh Allen is the exact same thing we used to criticize him for.

as a die hard cowboys fan, im open to whatever might help. I could get behind star idea.

I'll add to that last point, the fact that Roger Craig, the first RB to have a 1000/1000 season, isn't in the hall of fame, is a problem for the hall of fame. If they were smart, they'd put aside their silly voting rituals and correct it outside of those rules.

Lol. Guys with no frame..”She runs the house!” Unreal

Good Interview. The "who is the greatest QB of all time?" line of questions are low hanging fruit and wish would only be used when the interview time slot has absolutely nothing left.

Ricky Watters too, Steve.

Wasn't Bill Parcells in control when he was in Dallas? C'mon. It's the brand that is the problem, not the coaches. You nailed it with the sense of entitlement that players feel when they are on the roster. The Cowboys are the top brand in the NFL, and the top valued franchise. By every metric other than the Super Bowl the national media awards the Cowboys as champs every year with the coverage and exposure the franchise receives. There used to be a number of teams that rivaled the Cowboys 20 tp 30 years ago, now it is only the Chiefs with Mahomes and Kelcie and Taylor Swift as the drivers, but even the Chiefs are a distant 2nd to Cowboys media dominance. Thanks for excellent segment.

Giving the credit/blame to a quarterback is like giving the King the credit/blame for winning or losing at chess.

steve was in his bag today

Nobody on the planet more qualified to give a running QB advice than Steve.

#1 passing yards in a game, Norm Van Brocklin, 1951

So he would start the season as a 29er too?

Dallas Cowboys are entitled. Fame. Money. Women. Social media followers. They are rockstars. A Super Bowl for most guys on the team is an after thought.

Why is he not coaching?

Tampa got their hands full with Detroit WOW. In Miami we all had respect for Dan Campbell, made him coach and let him go

Bill Parcells tried that bit about making Cowboys earn their stars, during his tenure as their coach. Did it work?

No such thing as a GOAT in any sport, only the best of your era, too many rules and equipment changes

If Brady had been drafted by Detroit he would be selling used cars in Pamona. It's a team sport.

Roger Craig and Brent Jones. Young read my mind.

You might want to at least mention Randy Moss

Why hasn't danny boy hired any blacks, asians, females, etc. To be seen on his podcasts. Or a transgender, or a Native American, or a Hispanic male, or female. The Outrage!!

football speed? very easy: the ability to change direction, not just straight line speed.

Montana

The cowboy problem is jones.

I love how you say he has to put the cape on when he's had a top 5 defense almost every year. He has a first-round tight end he has digs and he has cooked so explain to me why he has to put a cape on every game

Replace Steve's take on the Cowboys with the 49'ers and it works better. Since winning it all every year is everything, the 49'ers are in a longer drought than the Cowboys and both have 5 total Super Bowl wins so...

Any bozo with a microphone is instantly an expert. Been overrating the Cowboys for years. When a team doesn't live up to pre season predictions the coach gets fired. How about they fire the experts.

If they did the star thing they would just start losing the second playoff game.

DAN TOOK A DISGUSTING MASSIVE DIARRHEA DUMP IN MY FRIENDS DINER AND CLOGGED THE PIPES

Buffalo Cowboys Dallas Bills

How the hell does Josh Allen not have help??? It’s crazy how this narrative is pushed and it’s a BS lie.

Dallas need to get rid of Jerry Jones-he's no good for The Cowboys-he's gotta step down if he cares.

Randy Moss is the best ever. Jerry Rice used stickem.

Steve Young is too simple-minded to use any other criteria for greatest QB than Super Bowl wins? Sad.

The great Steve Young is a beta
