You know, they were both great players. But I actually give young Steve a bit of an edge. Yes, Joe had a great ability to see the whole field, and had an amazing talent for throwing to the "correct" receiver. However, he was surrounded by colossal talent, especially his Offensive line. He had time to operate, and to choose the correct receiver. If you remember Young's best years, he was constantly being harassed and having single handedly make something happen. He was more responsible for the success of the teams he led then JM was.

As much as I love Steve Young, Montana was a far better QB. Young was VERY good, but if you had one game who would you take?

 

[PejaFanatic]

Both were awesome!!!

Congratulations Steve Young!!

Montana and Young were different kinds of QB. The 49ers were just lucky to have both of them!!!

Congrats, Steve. It's a well-deserved honor.

Don't know if I could pick between Young & Montana. Both in the "all time greats" category of QBs. And both part of a very exciting and fun part of 49er history. Boy, I miss those days.....

Big Congratulations to Steve Young -- it is well deserved!
