I wonder how many people wanted to trade Young or Montana during that 4-5 years stretch when they had to co-exist on the roster?
Montana was winning super bowls so I doubt anyone would want to trade him... And young was the one being developed.
Not how I remember it, fans were split down the middle. Many wanted to trade Joe and many wanted to see Young go.
I was/am a big Joe Montana fan so I wanted to keep both with Young as the back up.
If we learned nothing else over the past year, it was that we can't win without a quality QB. In the case, of the Young/Montana era, that transition never put us in the same mess as the Mullens/Beathard saga. Still, fans took sides to send the other one packing. That thinking was short-sighted then, and it is now as well.
We are in a perfect situation now. The team can afford to pay both TL and JG, and a decent back-up in Sudfeld that would allow an in-season trade to a desperate contender. Such a trade would almost certainly yield at least a 1st round pick or a 2nd+.
