Steve Young
Joe Montana and Brett Favre have led the NFL in QB fantasy points three times. Steve Young did four. His fantasy prowess might surprise you because you forget about all of the rushing yards and touchdowns this guy used to get. I am not enshrining him because he appeared on 90210. Taking away his years in Tampa and seasons behind Montana, Stevie played eight seasons of great football. In '94 he had a 4,000 pass yards with 35 touchdowns to go along with 300 rush yards and a ridiculous 7 rushing tds. After Montana was done in '91, the high powered 49er offense was ripe for Young's taking. If you grabbed him then and there, you had the top QB in the league for three years in a row.
