[QUOTE="RedSoxExcel, post: 232945, member: 748"] I'm so sick of this comparison of situations. I just heard someone on the radio go off about how Montana/Young proves that the Favre/Rodgers situation is being handled properly. Complete ignorance of the facts. Heather's post gave me the inspiration to refute this. ONE - Montana was injured in January 1991. He missed the ENTIRE 1991-92 season and Montana barely played the season before he was traded (1992-1993). Favre did not miss a single game in 16+ years. Favre finished with 4000+ yards, 28 TD's and in OT of the NFC Championship season. Montana barely played in his last season. THREE - Rodgers is NOT Steve Young - Case and Point below. "In 1989, he displayed his potential to become the team's starter in the future. While Montana won the NFL MVP award and led the team to victory in Super Bowl XXIV, Young still had a good season, completing 69% of his passes for 1,001 yards and 8 touchdowns, with only 3 interceptions. [b]In his four seasons as a backup, he had thrown 23 touchdown passes and only six interceptions.[/b] It seemed there was a good chance he would eventually become the team's starter." Rodgers has played in half a game. Young had proven WAY more than Rodgers has. Do you really think 49ers would have told Montana to go away if the only game Young had played was ONE good game. FOUR - "Montana recovered from his injuries at the end of the 1992 season, but had lost the starting quarterback job to Steve Young. Montana, who felt he had more football left in him, was then traded to the Kansas City Chiefs in April 1993." - The 49ers did not go out publicly and say after Montana said he wanted to start - "Hey come back and be a back up". That is insulting to a legend who gave you so much. At that point you say "ok, sorry we've moved on, let's try to work out a trade". But noooooooooooooo, TT has to try to play the media game. [u]FIVE - THE KEY POINT. [/u][b]"Young finished the season with an NFL best 101.8 passer rating. Despite missing five games, he still threw for 2,517 yards and 17 touchdowns with only 8 interceptions."[/b] THAT IS WHY THE 49ERS WERE JUSTIFIED IN THEIR MOVE. He finished the 1991 season with the league's best passer rating! SIX - This is the most insane part. In Young's previous season before Montana was traded (1992). "Young finished the season with 3,456 passing yards and 537 rushing yards, along with an NFL best 25 touchdown passes and 107.0 passer rating, earning him the Most Valuable Player award." - [b]MVP MVP MVP v. Playing in half game in Dallas. [/b] STOP COMPARING RODGERS TO YOUNG AND FAVRE TO MONTANA. It doesn't work. Do you honestly think that the 49ers would be treating Montana like this if Young had played HALF a game. NO. MVP v. Half a game, this should put any Rodgers comparisons to Young away forever. Not to mention the fact that people that bring up Young ignore Griese, Feeley, etc. [/QUOTE]
