    Luck played with abandon more often than not... his style of play was destined for constant injury.

    Steve Young was the same... then wised up and changed his game.

    Colts aren't without blame, but...

    His career would've been just as short and, probably, no Super Bowls if he hadn't changed his style.

    He'd have severe concussions and probably wouldn't be able to walk right.

    It’s also a good thing the OLine got a couple games off against the titans. I could only imagine how many years earlier he would have retired if the titans could ever mount a pass rush to hit him.

    Steve B was one of the very few allowed to hang around the league for 15 years before he finally got a shot to prove himself. He need with like 2 years worth mentioning.

    Good change of style moving from TB to SF. Not sure what style was changed outside of “OL block”.

    Incorrect.

    Steve Young's QB style was to move the ball, no matter what. One of his most infamous plays in San Fran was when he scrambled (for a TD, I believe) through a lot of defenders. He was erratic and a true backup.

    It wasn't long after that he had come to the conclusion to focus on his pocket game.

    Sure the blocking changed... but that's how he played. Injuries be damned.

    Jerry rice, john Taylor, Brent ones and Rickey waters make a lifetime of difference (literally in this case) over............. was James wilder still there? I suppose Bruce hill? Mark carrier played well with vinny T but I don’t think Young had him.
