You're comparing Steve Young to Alex Smith. Not even worth responding to IMO.
I am saying that one QB pretty well sucked or was underwhelming in his early years, yet later became good. Did people think Steve still sucked in the 90's just because he sucked in the 80's?
... but all your mind sees is "OMGzz comparison between Steve and Alex!!! OMGzzz..."
c'mon now.
Did you actually watch Steve Young in the 80s? He had one full year as starter (1986) in TB before he came to SF, and while he wasn't awesome that one year, he wasn't terrible, and considering he was on a horrible team, he put up decent enough numbers to the point he intrigued one Bill Walsh. And he didn't "suck in the 80s" with the 49ers...look at what he did coming off the bench in 1987, his first year with the Niners. He nearly unseated Montana as the starter in 1988, and arguably saved Montana/Walsh with his run vs. the Vikings, as they may have missed the playoffs without that win. Anyone who says Young sucked in the 80s, especially as it pertains to 87-89 with the 49ers, doesn't know jack.
