PHILADELPHIA — In the four seasons after he turned 33, Steve Young led the NFL in both passer rating and completion percentage. In that span Young was better than fellow Hall of Famers Brett Favre, Troy Aikman, Dan Marino, and John Elway, who all were about the same age or younger.
Russell Wilson turned 33 in November. He has missed three starts in 10 seasons. He’s smallish and mobile, like Young, but with a stronger arm and faster feet. Wilson’s the new, improved Steve Young.
He also might be available for the Eagles. It would take a lot of assets. He would demand a top-tier salary.
