Try finding Left brain dominant quarterbacks in the NFL in 2017 and you’ll be truly hard-pressed. (There is only 1 such QB among the 30 teams–#4 BEAL Carson Palmer.) Left brainers could play QB in NFL antiquity much easier than in today’s fast moving, sophisticated game; nonetheless, try finding any Left brain dominant quarterbacks who have actually done well in their careers and you’ll be equally hard-pressed. That is why when #15 FCIL Steve Young of the San Francisco 49ers led his team to 3 Super Bowls in the 1980s, while also becoming only one of two QBs in history to lead the NFL in passing six times, you just have to stand back and give him a hearty congratulations. In 2005, he was also inducted into the Hall of Fame as the first left-handed quarterback in NFL history.
By the way, notice he is left-handed? Just like fellow #15 Phil Mickelson of the PGA Tour, Young no doubt found greater success by being a Left brained ‘lefty’, thereby enabling him to better utilize the Right hemisphere of the brain to control his motor skills (the Right brain largely controls the left side of the body).Young’s atypical lefty gross motor adeptness helped him in both passing and running the ball.
