And I do love Steve Young, not saying Brock is better!

Was there an elimination game he ever played well in?

92
93
95
96
97
98

I like Young too. But winning with that 94 team happened because he could never get by Dallas the previous years.

The Cowboys and Packers were better teams, though I don't think Young played well in a lot of those games. Teams dominated the LoS.

Just as an aside, he barely played in the 96 season divisional round game against the Packers.

If he were playing in texas he would make another 7m per year. Why would any athlete reside in california or new york etc.

Puts us at a competitive disadvantage? I guess we won't be getting anymore players now with all these media outlets trying to highlight this point?

Lol everyone knows CA taxes are s**t

They are pretty much almost like Canadian taxes. Just up the azz.

Still, it's better than the 900k he was making lol..but after taxes, that was what? Like half a mil a year? Less? It's why he was living with a roomie and doing coin laundry.

Oh how will ever survive taking home only 24m?
Ultra wealthy millionaires and billionaires are the ones that SHOULD be paying the bulk of taxes, but I'll keep it at that.

They weren't better teams, imo. Young played poorly in the playoffs despite having the better offenses, including the best WR of all time in his prime.

Look at his playoff stats. They were not good enough.

I remember the games well. I agree he didn't play well in a lot of them, as I mentioned.

I'll preface this by saying, man do I like Brock. Hope he's our QB for a long time. Having said that, I was watching the 94 SB earlier tonight and it is amazingly apparent how lightning quick Youngs decision making was. Like every damn play. Brock looks like he's playing in molasis compared.

Go watch some of Steve Young's playoff performances outside of the 94 season.

Couple things I'll add. Yes, Young suffered from the same "choke" in big moments like Peyton Manning. That's why he's not better than Joe. That's why Peyton isn't as good as Brady.

With that said, some context. Due to the Niners dominance in the 80s the entire LEAGUE (not division) was devising ways to counter Bill Walsh's system. The Cowboys built a defense to counter the 49ers offense (kind of what Seattle did this year vs us), and Holmgren practically stole the blueprints on his way to GB. Those were some tough matchups against 2 HOF QBs and 1 HOF coach. Second, the Niners didn't do a good job of building around Steve / Jerry post 1994. Outside of 97 where we signed a bunch of semi-retired retreads (who fizzled out by the time we faced the Packers in the NFCC), we did not resign guys like Deion and Watters and instead replaced them with guys like Pope and Terry Kirby. It was a Steve and Jerry vs the world mentality and as soon as Young went down with that final concussion the dynasty came crashing down.
