One of my favorites. Will never forget that night he snapped his leg

Was it a broken leg? I thought it was an ACL.

Snapped his leg in half . Was brutal

Incredible he played a couple of more years - and was good.

Yup. Had that steel rod in his leg too. Guy was a warrior

I still have the front page of the sports section with the photo of Mariucci kneeling over Young as he laid on the field with that broken leg. The look in Mooch's eyes tells it all.

Bryant and Dana Stubblefield ruled the middle. His numbers are best 49er history among DL. You don't last 14 years on one team if you are not good. I think he is worthy of HOF, maybe not now but later I hope. Did Haley get in? I thought he did, then so should Young.

I think he has the most sacks in niner history or did I misread an article. Of course, people will say because he played so many years.

He has the most official sacks (86) but Hardman is the all time leader with 107. The NFL didn't start recording sacks officially until 1982 so Hardman's numbers aren't considered official. He had 121 sacks in his career including his 2 years with the Raiders.. He was really a monster and it's too bad he didn't play on better teams. He had 11 sacks in his one game during his senior year and 30 for the season. He then added 8 more in 2 post season games.

That was one of the worst injuries I ever saw on TV.

You are correct, I try to go with official numbers because a lot easier for people to track and avoid argumentations. Niners were not bad for the most of his years, Dallas was the obstacle which is why the catch that allowed us to get over the hump and into the SB was made all the more sweeter. They did waste some picks though-like drafting Spurrier who was a bust. What really killed the niners during his years was the WFL who poached our several of our players.

They drafted Hardman in 1970 so they had 3 good years and then it started to fall off. By the middle of the 70's they were terrible. One thing to keep in mind about sacks. Prior to 1982 they weren't an official stat. One of the reasons was that sacking the QB didn't carry as much weight as it does now since teams were built around the run and passed far less. The great teams had great backs. So when I see numbers like 130 sacks for Hardman or 173 for Deacon Jones it floors me. These guys put up those numbers with fewer opportunities because of less passing and fewer games. Hardman had 18 in 14 games.

Jones was in another world. From 1964 thru 1969 he averaged 19.5 sacks per year. (117.5) Imagine having more sacks in 6 years than the great Sir Cedrick or Young had in his entire Niner careers. I imagine if they were to go back and count QB hurries it would be thru the roof. He did benefit from playing next to Merlin Olson with Rosey Grier and Lamar Lundy on the other side.

Sapp - 96.5 sacks and 578 tackles.

Young - 89.5 sacks and 627 tackles.

BY was and is a HOF player. He just played on some horrible teams with little talent the last years of his career. He never complained. Never said look at me I'm more important than the team. Dana Stubblefield should still be sending BY checks from that Washington deal.

I've said it before and will say it again I would take BY over Sapp. I don't care who doesn't agree I'm freaking right. Get this man in the HOF.

BY was as good as any DT I've seen...and that goes back a long way. That he isn't in the HOF is just pure crap...the voters have their heads in a place it shouldn't be.
