[1]Regular Season Record:This is a critical part of a QB. Their record. Supported by the table above, Joe Montana's record is 100-39-0. (with the 49ers)As supported by the table above, Steve Young's record is 94-49-0. This helps the 49ers out a lot because it helps them win, which makes the QB better for the team, which is trying to be proven here. Post Season Record: It all matters about pulling through in the clutch, right? It helps the team out. Joe Montana has a record of 16-7 in the postseason. A great record. It shows he can help out the team by coming through in the playoffs. Steve Young has a record of 8-6 in the postseason. This is still an average record, but it doesn't compare to Joe Montana's 16-7 record. [2]Super Bowl wins:Joe Montana has won 4 Super Bowls (3 being MVP [3]) in his career with the 49ers. Steve Young has only won 1 with his career. (49ers)Joe Montana has contributed to the 49ers by winning them 4 Super Bowls. I am not saying Steve Young is bad, but I believe these things prove Joe Montana was a better QB for the 49ers than Steve Young. Con, you're turn.
