Young's first two years were with the Buccaneers and they really didn't qualify as an NFL team. Here are his career regular season numbers with SF as a starter:
65.9% completions, 233.0 ypg, 5.9 td%, 2.3 int%, 101.1 rating. Young's numbers, while pretty good, show why he never could replace Montana up there. He was much more of a regular season guy and just didn't come through in the clutch the same way as Montana did. Montana got markedly better as the pressure increased. Young regressed. Not by a lot but still, went backwards.
