Imagine if Young beat the Cowboys in the '93 NFC championship game and Montana beat the bills in the '93 AFC championship. A Super Bowl match up between those two would have been a legendary. Those are the kind of things you see in movies lol

[@ZhangtheGreat]

Heh, even Troy Aikman said in a Sports Illustrated interview that he would've LOVED to see that matchup. Of course, Troy wasn't going to allow it to happen since it was his Cowboys playing the 49ers that day.

[@RaiderGannon12]

both the Chiefs and the 49ers got the beat down neither game was even close, which was a shame because nobody wanted to see another bills vs Cowboys superbowl unless you were a fan of either team.

I'm a hardcore Elway fan, and I can attest, there were games when Thomas was almost like part of his uniform...basically on him the entire game. He was relentless, and such a phenomenal talent. In fact, I always felt that going to Kansas City once a year was good for Elway. No other place in the league would get a quarterback battle hardened like Arrowhead back in the early 90's...between the noise, and that pass rush....it was an unreal environment...

Purdy could be the next Montans in SF with his dream start

[@Ray-dl5mp]

I think it’s more crazy the 49ers sat a 4 time Super Bowl champion for his backup and constantly was worried about making his backup unhappy. Injuries probably didn’t help but Montana should have been on the 49ers till the end and we should have seen what we could have done with Rice in the 90’s. Young should have been traded or remained the backup. At least that would have been the right thing to do. But who knows how it would have played out. One of the weirdest things in sports history that Montana lost his job in the weirdest way possible after being a perfect Super Bowl Qb for 4 Superbowls!!!

[@SPTO]

This was a great game! One of my favorite games and showed that Montana still had some magic. I dunno if we'll see a feature that has to do with the '94 MNF game against the Broncos but that was at once thrilling but kind of sad because by that point in the season Montana was totally beat to hell and it was painful to watch him just throw the ball.

[@thesentinel5523]

That was the game that really proved more than anything that the Clutchness of Joe Cool was not of this earth and he was everything people said he was without a Walsh, a Rice, etc.. He and Elway (the king of 4th Quarter comebacks) were going back and forth throughout the 4th quarter of that game and just when you thought it was over after Elway had rushed in a td, there was still 1:22 left in the game. Chiefs need a td to win it, nothing else comes close and he has half the time to do it in as compared to the drive he led in Superbowl 23! I still refer to that MNF game as one of the greatest football games ever played.

[@SPTO]

I totally agree with you and as further proof that Joe didn't need Walsh or Rice just look at the '93 playoffs where he had two great performances. If the Bills had lost to him in the AFC Championship that year I wouldn't have minded. Sadly the way he got knocked around that game was the nail in the coffin in a lot of ways as from that point on he was more physically fragile than he was before.

Joe Montana will always be my favorite QB. Was a huge fan of the 49er's during that time. Montana, Rice, Ronnie Lott, Roger Craig were some memorable players. I never really cared much for Steve Young even though he was a great QB as well. The fact that he replaced Montana never sat well with me. I get why the 49er's went that direction, but to me it was always a slap in the face to Montana. He won them 4 Superbowls and was still capable of playing at a top level. I very much wanted Montana to win a Superbowl with the Chiefs. At least he beat Steve Young during the regular season.

When the NFL learns to mind their own business and handle situations correctly they’ll be a better organization. I’m ok with the kneeling but most of the other fans would beg to differ. Instead of supporting the kneeling ON the field just make them sit in the locker rooms during the National Anthem. Offer a deal to Kaepernick to play on an NFL team but only if he promises to sit in the locker room during the National Anthem. Don’t try and ban the Nike commercial. Don’t put male cheerleaders on ANY NFL team. Change the QB rule. Get better referees. Replay certain plays to see if it was a flag or not. And get better celebs to do a fucking half time show. The NFL handles situations poorly. Why can’t they be like the NBA and let their players have fun?

Montana was better...that's why Young sat the bench all those years at S.F..... Bill Walsh wasn't stupid.

[@deshawnallen1153]

Steve Young > Joe Montana

[@deshawnallen1153]

Steve Young would have 5 superbowls if he started early

[@battlestarmarc]

Montana is the greatest of all time. He made the 49ers a dynasty. Young was good, but Young was not a clutch quarterback. Montana played in a much tougher era. Montana was the best clutch quarterback ever.

[@andrewjamshidi1549]

Disagree with the statement Young wasn’t clutch. His game winning pass you Owens in the ‘98 wildcard game was proof enough. I think he dealt with a lot of unfortunate events - Losing Shanahan as OC, losing Rickey Waters. Not to mention Seifert wasn’t nearly the coach that Walsh was. By the time Young has to retire from the concussions, the Niners were basically an expansion team with no talent.

[@perezfinichames]

One game though, Andrew. I agree with Battlestarmarc. I take Montana in the clutch over Steve Young in a heartbeat. Taking nothing away from Young's greatness, I just think Montana was better.

[@akray1153]

Battlestarmarc correction to your statement, Young was very clutch just not as clutch as Joe, I think you need to do more research on Steve's career to truly appreciate what a legendary player he was

[@akray1153]

@@perezfinichames what about the Vikings run? The sb where he threw 6tds and had the most yards, what about the game where he finally beat the cowboys, what about the game where he took young Peyton Manning to school, in terms of talent he was a top 10 qb of all time but it's a Shame that his short career as a starter prevents him to take that spot , and btw he was very clutch, just not as much as Joe Montana

[@keepercity]

My entire family tree was from SF and the Niners were gods to us and everyone else in the City back in those days. My mom always said Steve was the future as soon as he was on the team and she was team Young for sure in the fued. Her sisters and brother were so hurt by the niners trading Joe that they became Chiefs fans and literally did not talk to my mom for months after the trade happened. I have a friend who loved Montana and switched teams to the Chiefs. He is still a die hard chiefs fan to this day and flies to KC every year to watch "home games". After this game the following Monday, my PE teacher literally spent the class talking about the game with the students the entire time. That's how big Joe vs. Steve was back then.

Anyone today for that matter. You could just unload on guys back then, and not just QB's. Hard hitting safeties were a threat to anyone who roamed over the middle. You just don't see the massive hits anymore. It's a lot easier to play until age 40 when you aren't dealing with a decade plus worth of nagging injuries.

[@chessward4832]

I...was at this game. One of my best memories, ever.

[@frankeezee]

I grew up in the bay area watching these two. Great times!

[@owenmcgee8496]

I remember this. Wasn't very memorable. For me, the thing was: Montana, when he didn't do 3/5 step drop, lighting fast plays (or play-actions), used to roll out of the pockets (side line to side line) and throw athletic perfect passes without ever setting his feet and seemed to be unstoppable, up until that hit in 1990. But, by now, he looked like he was playing in slow motion and watching him play you couldn't help thinking: "I hope he doesn't get killed", because he was so vulnerable, from injuries, and didn't have that mobility that made him such an effective operator before. He was originally actually more mobile than Young ever was, and was also a runner, albeit not as good a runner as Young.

[@Briggie]

07:47 Young is so lucky his knees didn’t get destroyed on that play.

[@Yeomannn]

His legs were too strong for that.

[@calbassas87]

This is why, to me, Brady will never be considered on the level of Montana. Joe was just electrifying. And Brady never in his career has had to take the kinds of hits that Joe took. Yea Brady has two more rings, but the struggle for a qb today is far less than it used to be. And Montana’s playoff numbers are just so off the charts they’ll never be replicated.

[@pandabearmadness6263]

Growing up as 49ers fan I forgot how they quickly just gave up on Montana to go with young. Which is imo was similar on how the 9ers gave up on Smith to go with kapernick.

[@jegca]

i don't think it was quick at all... montana was coming back after almost 2 years ('91, '92) away from the game due to injury... he only played 2 more seasons at the age of 37 and 38 and had ok (by his standards) stats/QB rating... the transition had to be made for the next QB (Young) for the sake of the franchise.. even Bill Walsh believed you'd rather get rid of even your star players 2 years too early instead of 2 years too late...

[@pandabearmadness6263]

@@jegca after reading my comment I think me saying they gave up on Joe is wrong. Joe could of easily won that sb in 94. No knock on Steve and I just felt on the surface . Smith at the time had the highest qb rating gets injured mid season at gets replaced with a rookie QB. Smith had earned the right to go to the sb that year. Even though very different it just made me think of that. Personally I don't disagree with Walsh bc young was amazing.

[@robertkess9907]

I was lucky enough to see Joe's first come back win with the Chiefs after his injury. It was in San Diego against the Chargers, and he got the ball back with about 1:50 left in the game, my friend and I looked at each other with big eyes and just started grinning. Sure enough he led them down the field and won the game with Marcus Allen on a draw play for a touchdown. What a moment, I'll never forget that game, that drive, or that moment in time. I loved watching Joe play, he just looked like poetry in motion, the way he moved was so smooth, no one looked like him, and he didn't even have a huge arm either, he did it with his brain.

[@bully3628]

The Wilbur Marshall hit did injure Montana, but it wasn’t what kept him out for most of the next two seasons. He tore ligaments in his elbow during the 1991 preseason and after trying to rehab it, had surgery which forced him to miss the entire 91 and almost all the 92 season.

[@Kashype101]

In my opinion the best qb of all time i know tom has 5 rings but if he played in the era joe did he wouldn't have lasted that long to me joe is and will always be the goat in my opinion if the niners would have stuck with joe they would've had a least 1 more superbowl more than what steve gave them dont get me wrong i love steve but joe was something really special come playoff time and he would have retired as a niner the way it was supposed to be not a chief if i was the owner i would have shown loyalty to a 4time superbowl champion well thats just me anyways like i said joe is my goat dont care what tom does

[@andrewjamshidi1549]

What? Did Steve choke against Dallas in ‘94? Jimmy Johnson has built a juggernaut, acquired Charles Haley, & was a waayyy better coach than Seifert. And that’s some serious revisionist history to say Joe “carried” the ‘81 49ers. Joe still had Ronnie Lott, Carlton Williamson, Fred Dean, Eric Wright, Dwight Hicks & Keena Turner on defense & Dwight Clark & Freddy S. on offense. That team was pretty talented. Oh, they also had a coach named Bill Walsh which Steve didn’t have by the time he started regularly.
