He is the great-grandson of both Brigham Young and his brother Joseph Young. Care to disambiguate? :) Fuzheado 03:53, 28 Aug 2003 (UTC)
How about his marriage? His GGG Grandfather said any man not married by 25 was a menace to society and he was famous in some circles for not doing so until 29 if I'm correct. dvhatwiki (sorry, not logged in)
That's totally unfounded, by the way. That quote cannot be found in any credible source and was probably fabricated before becoming widespread. Tannerb 07:34, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
In the disambiguation page it states that Steve Young is the best known quarterback for the San Fransisco 49ers, which is a questionable suggestion.207.157.121.50 06:57, 9 October 2005 (UTC)mightyafrowhitey
Wow,Gentgeen, you're absolutely right. I've read that sentence numerous times and somehow failed to se the modifier "as"207.157.121.50 03:29, 11 October 2005 (UTC)mightyafrowhitey
I believe the stated "fact" about Young being still paid by USFL is incorrect. USFL is bankrupt -- then who pays him? and if USFL is still paying him, how did he play for the 49ers without a contract buyout?
The Bengals were not moribund in 1984; they made the Super Bowl in 1981 and were 7-2 in 1982 and 7-9 in 1983. They got the No. 1 pick because Tampa Bay traded its first-round pick (which became No. 1 overall) to Cincinnati for Jack Thompson. Young didn't want to go to the Bengals because he would have had to sit behind Ken Anderson for a year and he wanted to play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PpA_1W4qZc
Reworded a poorly written sentance about commercial appearances and deleted the following line.--Atomicskier 21:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
I can't see when this change to the title was made or who made it. Was this a necessary change?--Atomicskier 00:25, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
I think that if you check the articles of other football players, you will find their specific "title" regarding the sport they are/were involved in. So perhaps the chance wasn't exactly necessary, but it doesn't weaken the article. "Athlete" was perhaps just too vague. --DavidD4scnrt (talk) 23:01, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Steve Young → Steve Young (disambiguation) – The football player received almost 28 times as much traffic in 2010 as the next most popular, the musician—clearly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC by any reasonable threshold. –CWenger (^ • @) 02:14, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Steve Young (American football) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RM bot 02:30, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
The current version of the article includes currentteam=San Francisco 49ers and currentnumber=8 in the infobox. He isn't currently playing for the 49ers (or any other team), so is this really appropriate? On the other hand, his jersey has been retired, and I think the only way to note where he was when he retired is by using the currentteam and currentnumber parameters. What do people think?

parameter is only for current members of teams. I've removed the entire parameter. Eagles 24/7 (C) 23:24, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
isn't this more valid? i mean, aaron rodgers has only played a few years, and i'm sure young's was higher at that stage of his career. i remember a lot of talk amongst analysts in the late 90s about him retiring before he lost his +100 rating. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.53.24.43 (talk) 06:41, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
For "College NCAA Division I records:", this entire section needs to either be revised or deleted. The footnote(8) refers to an article from November 1983, and so the section should clearly state that the records listed are as of that date (if this is true). They are most certainly not current records (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_football_records#Passing). What stood out immediately as an egregious error, which prompted me to write this, was the first record listed - 1,832 career games gaining 300 yards or more?
Strongly recommend research-->revise or complete deletion.

I updated his USFL stats and was thinking of adding his BYU stats also. Does anyone object? It is in line with others in his category.--MattyMetalFan (talk) 16:57, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
