Let's see, Steve Young "bitches & moans" but Joe Montana is being 
competitive???

That was utterly stupid of Joe Montana to get "wacked" (?) out of a game,
knowing all the time that Steve Young is a consummate loser.  How dare Steve
Young not win the game when Joe is out??  Of course, we know for a fact that
Joe Montana could never lose/blow a game.

This is getting awfully tiresome.  Mindless ramblings like this by Joe-fans
can only hurt the team.  Thankfully, the majority of the 49er fans are 
perfectly happy to support the team and give them a vocal boost when they
need it.  The team wins IN SPITE of the likes of you.

Of course, Joe's had the chance to get his starting job back in the off-
and pre-season games.  At the time, he just didn't make the grade.  Who
exactly do you blame for his dysfunctional elbow??  Or do you think that 
the 9ers should have forfeited all the games (rather than let Young start)
until Joe is hale and hearty again??  Steve Young became the starter and 
has shown the necessary skills and leadership to get the team to an 
almost-perfect season.  So Steve Young stays as the starter, plain and 
simple.  

In the off-season, as the 49er office has pointed out repeatedly, 
the starting QB position will once again be open to all 3 QBs, and whoever
performs better gets it. This season, the 9ers win or lose with Young at the
helm, so why can't you accept that for a fact and support the team instead of
spewing your bile all over the place??  

Face it, every QB has had perfect and nightmarish days.  The dividing line
is very thin, and it's all part of being human.  Right now, only the Dallas
Cowboys are the only reality in the minds of the 49ers, and anything else
is hypothetical and academic.

Seems to me that the likes of you aren't really 49er fans but just Montana
fans and, in your own little worlds, believe that Joe can do nothing wrong
and Young can do nothing right.  

I'm sick of this drivel.
