GRIT THE TRUE STORY OF STEVE YOUNG

My GOD Steve looks IDENTICAL to his dad when he was younger. Some damn strong good genes right there.

As a long time 49ers fan from 1979...yes, we loved Joe Montana...we also loved Steve Young.

[@Makeitliquidfast]

Steve is a great person and even today could go out and play a game in the NFL, he's a devout LDS and while I don't share his faith I do share his love of God, he's definitely one of the best QBs to ever play period.

[@scottjarantowski7956]

Steve Young is absolutely the greatest Quarter Back in the history of the National Football League. His ability to run and pass with great efficiency will never be surpassed ! His father Grit was the key for Steve’s greatness.

[@arenaymar7625]

Me too, with Steve Young being L.D.S. I started watching him, didn’t know nothing about American Football 🏈

[@davidjamespiano]

These were the BEST days of football. I remember as a kid following Steve's uphill battle to get to the Big Game. Those were the days when you lived and died with your QB and you rallied around him every week in and out. You felt those losses as hard as they did. Today it seems nobody stays on a team long enough to ride that wave with their fans. When Steve finally won a championship, I remember feeling like we all won it, even though I've never met him and he has no idea who I am, it was a great ride. I truly miss those days!! He was definitely my idle growing up in sports.

[@roberthardwick442]

I was so fortunate to have been born in Ft.Worth Texas where i have lived for 68 years.Lots of relatives tv always on sports. I was six years old when Texas Schramm,Clint Murchison and All NFL All of Fame Coach Thomas Landry and Gil Brandt came to start the Dallas Cowboys from scratch. NFL Football is the only game. I witnessed the changes implemented to this game we have today. It’s called parity. The inferior teams screamed for it back then for years. Your viewing it. The man who vigorously pushed for tape review was Tex . So many bad calls in critical points in the game it finally became evident. The oldest franchises fought it tooth and nail! I know a lot of y’all hate my Cows but the innovation and many huge changes came because of our Owner and who he hired.

[@taivo5753]

Steve Young is a rare mobile and great passer combination.

we the niners fans were fortunate to have montana and young. doubt san fran will see that again. Of course jerry rice. Jerry was the definition of a true champion. Have all 3 of their autographs. Be awesome to meet at least one of them

Great story. Anyone who has watched Young play or listened to him talk - should not be surprsied that there was some awesome influence on him.

[@jesseiese3976]

Steve Young was my favorite quarterback in the 90s when Joe Montana was still on the 49ers and 21 years ago Steve Young got the 5th Super Bowl championship for the 49ers

[@MattSmith-iq1ld]

What made Steve great was he was old school. I will never forget his last play when he was knocked out against Cardinals. As soon as he woke up, he grabbed his helmet and went to the sideline on his own. People were trying to assist and acted like, "Get the hell away from me." And then he got pissed off when they wouldn't put him back into the game. After he was knocked out! Truth his, he needed to retire. But he had zero regard for his own body. He'd take a lick just to get another 4 yards. You rarely saw defensive players resort to trash talking because they knew it would just piss him off and it would have zero influence on him trying to take on a linebacker the next play

[@kevinthomas2906]

Matt Smith That was respect.

[@lukey1210]

I hope that uni is ashamed to treat my GOAT QB of all time. Steve your a GOD

[@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants]

That his dads name is Grit and one of the definitions of grit is " courage and resolve; strength of character. " kind of cool to have a name or even if it was a nickname that fits.

[@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants]

This documentary cut out so much from his life story and what he overcame. It took his entire pro career before the 49ers to like one sentence without him even talking about it. Plus stories of both 49ers fans talking shit about him not being Joe and non Niner fans telling him he would never win or beat the cowboys ect.

[@akray1153]

i needed this

[@davidmansir8469]

I love Steve Young. I grew up watching the 49ers go from one of the worst teams in the league, to what I think was the greatest team ever. My brother and I each got a season ticket as our Christmas present every year and saw some of the greatest games ever in person. We never got lucky enough to get picked to go to the Super Bowl, but I got a SB ticket and flew to Florida and saw Steve Young throw 6 TD’s in just 3 quarters. He could have thrown a couple more if they left him in the game. Watching the 49ers go from one Hall of Fame QB to another was something that I’ll never forget.

Great quarterbacks benefit greatly when part of a great team that has a great system in place. Any quarterback would benefit being on the Niners or Patriots at their peak. That is why the discussion of GOAT does not really make sense.

Not many comments from 49ers fans here so here one from a Patriots fan Steve Young was hungry to play football and wanted to be great and he achieved it he worked hard Montana pure talent but didn't study defenses like Brandy and thats what puts them apart. its not just the 5 rings Brady has

[@INFINITEMODIFICATIONS]

How exactly do you know that Montana didn't study defenses like Brady? You don't. You're making asnine statements out of thin air. Great job!!! :):):)

[@mrburbank9196]

J Long : Do some research what I said was a fact.... No Q.B. in the history of the game studied more other than Mr Young who I have as the 2nd best Q.B.when it comes to work ethic and one more thing If Mr Young was not the back up to Joe I think the story would be different.. Mr Young would probably be the GOAT

[@MattSmith-iq1ld]

Joe played in an era where there was no quarterback and receiver protection like there is today. There was also no salary cap, so playoff teams back the in the 80's were way more talented than they are today. Brady still hasn't blown out a team in any of his super bowl wins. Average margin of victory is less than 5 points. Joe didn't possess a rocket arm. He had the skinniest legs of any NFL player I have ever seen. He wasn't tall. He didn't possess as much natural talent as you think. A lot of people thought Walsh was nuts for picking Montana where he did. Young had better arm strength than Montana and he could run like a running back. Not that he didn't study hard as well.

[@riteousrighthand6144]

Brady has 1 more ring than Montana does. You know what else Montana doesn't have that Brady does? Let me help you: a Superbowl loss.

Over rated? Look at what he accomplished while trying to break free of the shadows of the great Joe Montana????? Young had to bust his ass to become what he is.

[@TheSilverbar]

Overrated? I didn't know we were talking about Brett Favre. Young overrated? What an utterly moronic statement. He was a phenomenal talent, a complete player, and a fierce competitor with an old school work ethic. And his value was proven whenever an injury removed him from the game, and the Niners would collapse without him.

[@ryanstein440]

Lame

[@TheSilverbar]

@Matt Beeman Favre was an athletic marvel, blessed with a murderously strong arm and a body that could seemingly withstand being struck by a freight train. But career longevity isn't much of a yardstick for assessing a QB. And Favre, for all of his talent, was a rather poor decision-maker on the field. This, IMO, is the main reason his playoff record is so lackluster - he seemed to demonstrate a knack for folding against postseason-quality defenses. Don't get me wrong; I agree wholeheartedly that he was a well above average QB, and quite entertaining. But when people mention him along with history's all time great QBs...yeah, then he's overrated.
