Yeah but he wanted us to draft Zach Wilson. Maybe being a great QB doesn't mean you're good at judging rookies. I do agree that Lance needs time to play but I don't think the 49ers can afford to let him learn on the job. Which makes you wonder why they drafted a green guy like Trey if they didn't have time to let him learn on the job? Then they add an experienced journeyman for him to compete for the #2 job. This is a mess.
As a Niners fan since 81, I was spoiled early and often by Joe Cool and then Steve Young. Two different styles but the same results. It's been a hard 25 or so years since the late 90s!
NOBODY dealt with more pressure or was put in a tougher spot than Steve Young, the man picked to succeed GOAT Joe and keep the dynasty going. I really wish Trey would lean on Steve a little bit to gain some perspective on his situation. Steve is so smart and no one is gonna understand what Trey’s dealing with better than Steve.
The age/generation gap is too great at this point. Players can look for mentoring from someone maybe 10-15 years older, or at least still active in the league. The game has changed significantly since Young last played. It would be the same for Joe Montana. Lance working with Mahomes this off season was good, but unfortunately Pat doesn't play for the Niners.
@@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536 the game has changed some but we’re not talking about Steve teaching Trey Xs and Os lol. We’re talking about Trey getting to know Steve well and pick his brain about the pressure dynamics and psychology of the position, which are largely the same. Steve Young is just a wise person in general, but more than anything he understands what it means to have the weight of the world on your shoulders trying to play the hardest position in sports for the San Francisco 49ers. There’s wisdom to be gleaned there.
@@joeynickles7962 the game hasn't really changed since the 90's, and players aren't any strong or faster since then. Officiating is the only difference, and the fact that teams pass a lot more. Steve could undoubtedly help Trey.
Steve Young! I could listen to his wisdom all day! Trey needs him as a mentor! He’s been through that fire and he definitely can relate to this situation! Way to shut these radio fools up as well Steve!
you can be the greatest mentor in the world. If you aren't working with enough potential, it doesn't matter. Hopefully someone will be able to teach Lance to become a serviceable backup in the coming years.
Geno Smith is a perfect example of what Steve is talking about. Geno Smith figured it out and we all hope Trey can do the same wither as a niner or somewhere else. Good Luck to you Trey!
Actually, the jury is still out on Smith. The narrative was strong with that one last season, but a huge part of that was built on the shoulders of only three or four games. The rest of the time he was basically the Geno Smith we'd always known.
Steve young is my favorite QB of all time..the good ol days..Tampa Bay ran him out of town and then Steve figured it out.. thank you for having Trey’s back
Steve is right on the money, unless it's a perfect game, Trey is damned if you do, and damn if you don't. If Trey had played well from the start of the Raiders game, critics would have said, "well, he was going against backups."
@mihaiconstantin-pau5116 he really does have to play better. But this man has been the most critiqued 49er in a long time. And most of its undeserved. I'm convinced he can go undefeated and win a superbowl, and that same portion of the fans that never wanted him will always say its not enough.
This is damn near exactly what I told my dad at the game on Sunday. I’m a perfectionist with anxiety and my first thought at halftime was that he seemed nervous. He clearly wasn’t comfortable until the second quarter, and I can relate in that, it takes me a while to get the nerves to go away when I have to perform in any way. I can’t imagine how much pressure he’s facing with people immediately ready to say he sucks or even personally attack him the second he has a bad quarter in a preseason game
Lance reminds me of our local college QB at Boise State, Taylen Green. Early in the game, Green looks not to great, and appears to be thinking about what the coach said, going through the play in his head, or whatever. He is THINKING about what to do (Green is only going to be a sophomore so he is very young still). As the game goes on, he just starts playing football and not thinking about it so much, and THEN he starts throwing great. Kyle SAYS that he wants Trey to go out there and sling the ball, but we all know Kyle and what Kyle wants is for his QB's to follow his directions EXACTLY. Trey plays better when he stops thinking about all of the directions and just starts playing football. What Shanahan says he wants and what he actually demands are two different things. Lance needs to go to a team where the HC knows how to groom QB's and also has an interest in doing so. Kyle Shanahan isn't that guy.
Steve is so qualified to talk on this subject because he definitely lived it back in the day. He was always one of my favorite players because he played the right way, he worked hard, he was a high character leader, and I hope we get to see Trey grow in to that at some point too. I think he definitely has the potential.
He was also 100x the quarterback than Lance has ever demonstrated himself to be. I don't care for piling on, but I think Young was a bit too nice in this assessment.
Man I love Steve. Tell ‘em! Brock is the starter, there’s no reason 49er fanbase should bash on Trey. He’s the backup that still developing and coming back from a major injury. Just chill and cheer for our team.

Thank You Steve, spoken from a Quarterback. I played QB in high school, they need you to help his mental. The 49ers gone Dink and Dunk a super bowl with Purdy.
I honestly feel bad for Trey. He hasn’t been able to play as much as he should and because he was a top 3 draft pick he has extremely high standards to achieve
@@doggybark4502Because he's on a bum organization that didn't focus on his development an claim to be a win now team despite being allergic to winning NFC championship games on the road then he has less than 5 starts but high IQ 49er fans think preseason week 1 is a real game. I'm glad I'm no longer a fan of this organization.
I second that remark! Trey's standards have been stratospheric since he got to the team, with everyone expecting him to be a darker shade of Joe Montana. Meanwhile Jimmy was given 8 years to play like Daffy Duck and no one said a word edgewise.
It’s so refreshing that a HOF like Steve Young is not helping to beat this kid down like everyone else is seem to be doing…good looking SY, I hope this kid can prove them all wrong whenever he gets a second chance!!!
Steveo sees himself in Trey. He understands exactly what he's most likely feeling. People wrote Steve off except Bill. It takes the right coach Steve's the proof Brocks no Joe
I might have to agree.. I was a little young watching Joe..saw more of Steve to understand the game more as I got older..but I did have Joe's video game in Sega Genesis lol
Steve was an underdog, so he has that underdog mentality. There are odds and circumstances that make things happen. 49ers was all up Lance ass... now let him play. . Let him win....let him fail... give him a chance to prove himself or the doubters
Steve Young was ahead of his time, Every team today is looking for Steve Young. If he had played today he would be the Face of the NFL. I'm not a Niner fan either
That “emotional “ block created by expectations of perfection… the “every throw being a memorandum”…. That has existed on this franchise for decades. It was their with Montana , Young, Jeff García, Alex Smith , Kaep, and then the whole thing with Jimmy.
Lance’s TD throw in the preseason Raiders game was spectacular. Not even Mahomes could ricochet a football from player to player before finally being caught by the TE for a TD.
At some point it's going to click for Trey.. and when it doe's. I hope he's still in a Niner uniform...Nobody knows better what Trey Lance is struggling with ..than Steve Young
The one thing he needs is what he can't get in SF: the freedom to not be perfect. Purdy and Darnold are ready now, he has no room to learn to relax. He has the tools, when he lands somewhere he knows his constant improvement will give him the chance to take a breath he will blossom.
A lot of players in all leagues struggle with what Steve Young is describing. It's normal, some people overcome it and play, and some don't and get cut.
Spot on from the Hall of Famer. The organization has really bungled up Trey’s development. He has all the tools. It’s frustrating to see. I believe in the kid and wish him the best. I know if we trade him he will flourish elsewhere. Keep your head up Trey!
You really want to keep throwing good money after bad? We already have a keeper in Brock. Just build up Trey's value this preseason so we can get something back in trades. The team is in position to win now and has no business risking games to develop talent. If he's not ready, just cut bait and move on.
@@MrPhilbautistai agree, I don't necessarily think his development has been bungled, its just that his injury meant that it gave Purdy a shot, and he took full advantage of it. I think Trey is just feeling the pressure of being the no.3 pick and living up to that, with Brock Mr Irrelevant doing way more than that.
@@BulldogSportsCards508 I don't think Purdy is gonna be the same player... dude has how may pick-6's so far in training camp? I lost count. He's gonna throw more INT's than TD's this season. Trey will get his shot.
Makes so much sense. Purdy plays free and can throw 10 picks in practice because he has Kyle’s support. Trey walking on eggshells thus can’t let it rip in practice or in pre-season games. Hope he gets a fair shot.
Steve Young once again is spot on. His objective is to feel the offense, not think it step by step. Having everyone second guessing every play is counterproductive. It makes him second guess, and double clutch. Al Davis picked up a bewildered Jim Plunkett and let him slowly settle in. Steve himself was positive enough to get better sitting behind Montana. There’s still a good chance Lance will reach his ceiling. It’s just not likely on the 49ers Super Bowl schedule.
Spoken from a true QB who has gone through the wringer himself. Remember, Steve played difficult, underachieving years at Tampa until someone (Bill Walsh) saw something in him.& gave him a chance. So he is speaking with experience and empathy. The kid needs a chance. Unfortunately, The Niners situation is not ideal for Trey right now.
Thank You, Thank You Steve!!! We need to focus on our entire team and our Superbowl Run. Trey should not be the spotlight, he will be fine. We have 3 excellent quarterbacks on our team. Maybe we should focus on improving our offensive line, so all our quarterbacks can thrive. If we did that last year, we might have been holding the Lombardi Trophy.😎
Bro, he hasn't played much to begin with. Hes still learning what open is, what he can get away with, etc. He processes well, Steve is right, he needs a little room to relax and be able to play free so he can learn. I thought everyone understood he needs to develop.
He needs to be in Seattle! Coach Carroll's style would be perfect for him! Coach's interview with Richard Sherman the other day was very enlightening in this respect.
The same way Zach Wilson is sitting and learning Trey needs the same time until his number is called. With the 49ers track record for injured quarterbacks everybody needs to chill.
I'm glad there's people out there that still believe in Lance. I'm one of them. Lance never had a shot. They should let him play the way he wants. Plus our offensive line sucks major.
Steve Young sounds spot on about Trey Lance. All the fans and media bashing on Trey are just exacerbating the problem. I can't imagine any fan wants to make things worse for the team. I doubt most media wants to make it harder for a team but they need those clicks. I don't understand why Trey is so polarizing for some people. He just needs to play more before we have a real idea of what he can and can't do. Fortunately, 49ers carry 3 QBs on the roster and with the new rules about having 3 QBs dressing for games Trey should be out there every week helping Brock.
Steve is right. Trey needs to play in all the preseason games to refine his skills. They need to let him know it's ok to make mistakes refining his skillset in preseason games because that and to look at rookies is what they are used for. And tell him to just go out and have some fun.
If he has not done so, Steve Young should give Lance a call to offer him some words of encouragement. I am sure it will go a long way with Lance especially with all the negative press on him after the loss to the Raiders.
Over intellectualizing the position is something Steve knows very well. He came through it, won his SB. I hope the same for Trey no matter where that ends up being, which I hope is here if it all works out.
Someone said that Lance was doomed when the niners sold the farm to pick him at 3 bc the niners put him in a pressure situation right away, considering he didn't have much playing experience. I remember hearing this comment when the niners lost to Chicago but forget who said it. Trey was put in a very difficult spot from the moment they drafted him.
"He needs to prove the improvable." Great quote from Steve Young. The problem with Trey is that it was always known that he's a development project, but his injuries prevented and delayed that development for essentially 2 years. And now the 49ers simply don't have development time to afford him. They are a mature team that has to make their SB run NOW. And so they have to give the majority of 1st team snaps to Brock and mere scraps to those in the QB2 hunt. It was Trey's injuries that derailed his development window. It's ironic that the reason they went out to get him was their primary concern with JimmyG being injury-prone. And then they end up with someone even more injury-prone, with regard to games played per injury. That said, Trey is not a bust. For him to be a bust he would need to fail after a legitimate chance at development, which he just hasn't had due to his injuries. He still MAY develop into a great QB, but he'll have to do that more and more on his own time. The 49ers are in win-now mode and simply can no longer afford to give him the focus that will accelerate his development. But Trey is young enough that he still could make it after his continuing development. I think the overnight-sensation of Trey ain't happening, but the future sensation of Trey might still happen.
Brock' s annual salary is $800k with 4 yr contract. He saved the team by leading to the nfc final and got seriously injured. I think, Trey (whose salary is $17m) should be the qb1 from now on. He is paid big. He must play big and lead the team (yes, with many more reps he need)..
I totally agree with Steve Young and I’ll be consistent with what I’ve said since beginning of training camp. Trey Lance would need to really shine and obliterate the competition during preseason in order to be considered for the starting job. Steve Young is absolutely right, Trey Lance has to be damn near perfect because of what Brock Purdy accomplished while he was the starter last season. It’s really unfortunate for Trey Lance that he sat out a year in college because of Covid, sat out a year behind Jimmy his rookie season then obtained a season ending injury the following season. Regardless of how much “bad luck” Trey Lance has ben threw, the fact of the matter is he lost his job due to unavailability, then watched his backup outshine him. Its cruel, but fair. I agree with Steve Young also on the point that because of that series of unfortunate circumstances, Trey Lance’s confidence may be shot a bit. Trey Lance must really get it together on Saturday.
The part where Steve Young was talking about playing with the problem of everyone scrutinizing every play you made? He went through that when Joe Montana was traded away and Young became the starter. Montana being traded away was not a popular move with the fans. I still recall when the 49ers were having issues, people going, "That wouldn't have happened with Montana there." Montana may be gone but the fans still called San Fran his town. I liked Young in that period because he was trying hard to prove himself against the doubters. He probably was playing too hard with some of those risks, but he played like he was desperately trying to show his mettle. He did this for years and the only way the doubts went away was when he led the 49ers to a championship in '94. It's easy now after Young's career was done and see his accolades. He should be a no-brainer to lead the 49ers as its QB. That wasn't so from 1990-1994. Young had to beat that respect out of people, out of the fans that refused to let go of Montana.
How could you not love Steve Young!?

Steve Young is dope. He brings great insight to everything.
Steve's so right. I hope he has spoken to Trey or gets the opportunity to cause Trey needs to hear this.
Steve Young with an executive position with the 49ers would be great.
Love Steve most level headed take ever from one of the greatest
Steve was an underdog, so he has that underdog mentality. There are odds and circumstances that make things happen. 49ers was all up Lance ass... now let him play. . Let him win....let him fail... give him a chance to prove himself or the doubters
He just blew his chance to be in consideration to play if Brock has a cold streak in the regular season
Steve hit the nail on the head with it this guy is a true professional
Young is the GOAT
Steve Young told trey Lance that he could call on him anytime, and I wish he would’ve done that.
It's crazy to think Steve young is the last quarterback to win a Superbowl for the 49ers,,
it was suppose to be jimmy g but then he choked
Steve Young was ahead of his time, Every team today is looking for Steve Young. If he had played today he would be the Face of the NFL. I'm not a Niner fan either
Steve is so right. Trey is not free to make mistakes.. Brock can throw all kinds of ints and he's qb1
That “emotional “ block created by expectations of perfection… the “every throw being a memorandum”…. That has existed on this franchise for decades. It was their with Montana , Young, Jeff García, Alex Smith , Kaep, and then the whole thing with Jimmy.
Lance’s TD throw in the preseason Raiders game was spectacular. Not even Mahomes could ricochet a football from player to player before finally being caught by the TE for a TD.
better analysis than this sugar coated summary for the base.
Facts, Steve. FACTS!!!
At some point it's going to click for Trey.. and when it doe's. I hope he's still in a Niner uniform...Nobody knows better what Trey Lance is struggling with ..than Steve Young
The one thing he needs is what he can't get in SF: the freedom to not be perfect. Purdy and Darnold are ready now, he has no room to learn to relax. He has the tools, when he lands somewhere he knows his constant improvement will give him the chance to take a breath he will blossom.
Bars! Facts! Love the fact that a guy who ACTUALLY PLAYED QB in the NFL gives out a great assessment, REPS REPS REPS
A lot of players in all leagues struggle with what Steve Young is describing. It's normal, some people overcome it and play, and some don't and get cut.
Spot on from the Hall of Famer. The organization has really bungled up Trey’s development. He has all the tools. It’s frustrating to see. I believe in the kid and wish him the best. I know if we trade him he will flourish elsewhere. Keep your head up Trey!
You really want to keep throwing good money after bad? We already have a keeper in Brock. Just build up Trey's value this preseason so we can get something back in trades. The team is in position to win now and has no business risking games to develop talent. If he's not ready, just cut bait and move on.
@@MrPhilbautistai agree, I don't necessarily think his development has been bungled, its just that his injury meant that it gave Purdy a shot, and he took full advantage of it. I think Trey is just feeling the pressure of being the no.3 pick and living up to that, with Brock Mr Irrelevant doing way more than that.
Would be dumb to trade him cuz he has more upside than Brock.
Brock Purdy is not our answer. He hit his ceiling last year I promise.
@@BulldogSportsCards508 I don't think Purdy is gonna be the same player... dude has how may pick-6's so far in training camp? I lost count. He's gonna throw more INT's than TD's this season. Trey will get his shot.
Thank you Steve for the Truth everything he does is under the microscope it's not fair to that young man
Makes so much sense. Purdy plays free and can throw 10 picks in practice because he has Kyle’s support. Trey walking on eggshells thus can’t let it rip in practice or in pre-season games. Hope he gets a fair shot.
He got his fair shot and he just isn’t that good.
"You gonna go in for Joe Montana, the ball BETTER move!" 😂
Steve Young once again is spot on. His objective is to feel the offense, not think it step by step. Having everyone second guessing every play is counterproductive. It makes him second guess, and double clutch. Al Davis picked up a bewildered Jim Plunkett and let him slowly settle in. Steve himself was positive enough to get better sitting behind Montana. There’s still a good chance Lance will reach his ceiling. It’s just not likely on the 49ers Super Bowl schedule.
Is this Tom Tolbert on the interview with Steve? He deserves an award for working with Ralph. I miss KNBR and the talent they had.
Steve give excellent analysis of Trey's situation.
Spoken from a true QB who has gone through the wringer himself. Remember, Steve played difficult, underachieving years at Tampa until someone (Bill Walsh) saw something in him.& gave him a chance. So he is speaking with experience and empathy. The kid needs a chance. Unfortunately, The Niners situation is not ideal for Trey right now.
i feel like the play calling and the players in that offense didnt help him..not many guys got open and the o-line was atrocious.
I Love Steve Young my Favorite Qb much respect!!!
Great assessment! The nfl has never seemed like a sport that develops talent, you get a small window to perform or your out.
Thank You, Thank You Steve!!! We need to focus on our entire team and our Superbowl Run. Trey should not be the spotlight, he will be fine. We have 3 excellent quarterbacks on our team. Maybe we should focus on improving our offensive line, so all our quarterbacks can thrive. If we did that last year, we might have been holding the Lombardi Trophy.😎
Bro, he hasn't played much to begin with. Hes still learning what open is, what he can get away with, etc. He processes well, Steve is right, he needs a little room to relax and be able to play free so he can learn. I thought everyone understood he needs to develop.
He needs to be in Seattle! Coach Carroll's style would be perfect for him! Coach's interview with Richard Sherman the other day was very enlightening in this respect.
Wisdom from a man who has been there and done it.
Steve is on the money. Trey really needs a shot with a different team.
The same way Zach Wilson is sitting and learning Trey needs the same time until his number is called. With the 49ers track record for injured quarterbacks everybody needs to chill.
How could anyone fire Steve Young? I could listen to him all day.
Wow. That's some amazing analysis right there. Definitely food for thought for the Niners.
Thank you Steve for breaking it down for those that purposely or unaware on how over complicated they paint narratives
THIS IS WHY STEVE YOUNG IS THE BEST 49ERS OF ALL TIME!!
Steve is a very smart man and understands human behavior and the underlying layers. Kudos Steve!
The voice of reason
Love and respect Steve
I'm glad there's people out there that still believe in Lance. I'm one of them. Lance never had a shot. They should let him play the way he wants. Plus our offensive line sucks major.
It's almost time!!! ✅💯💪🏾
Steve Young sounds spot on about Trey Lance. All the fans and media bashing on Trey are just exacerbating the problem. I can't imagine any fan wants to make things worse for the team. I doubt most media wants to make it harder for a team but they need those clicks. I don't understand why Trey is so polarizing for some people. He just needs to play more before we have a real idea of what he can and can't do. Fortunately, 49ers carry 3 QBs on the roster and with the new rules about having 3 QBs dressing for games Trey should be out there every week helping Brock.
Steve is right. Trey needs to play in all the preseason games to refine his skills. They need to let him know it's ok to make mistakes refining his skillset in preseason games because that and to look at rookies is what they are used for. And tell him to just go out and have some fun.
If he has not done so, Steve Young should give Lance a call to offer him some words of encouragement. I am sure it will go a long way with Lance especially with all the negative press on him after the loss to the Raiders.
Over intellectualizing the position is something Steve knows very well. He came through it, won his SB. I hope the same for Trey no matter where that ends up being, which I hope is here if it all works out.
Someone said that Lance was doomed when the niners sold the farm to pick him at 3 bc the niners put him in a pressure situation right away, considering he didn't have much playing experience. I remember hearing this comment when the niners lost to Chicago but forget who said it. Trey was put in a very difficult spot from the moment they drafted him.
Thank you Steve young!!!
So true.. Steve has been there. Montana did everything right . Where Steve had to press on every play. He should be Trey's QB coach.
Love what steve and kurt have said about trey this week. Give trey reps, let him cook
This the first person i respect talking about the same job
Love that from Steve Young he had to sit behind Joe Montana I would love to see Trey to get 5 games with the #1s
Love this assessment
He has to learn to play relaxed and let it fly and trust his instincts.
Excellent analysis
My biggest issue w this is competition seems to solve these issues. And in this instance, Trey is just being outplayed.
"He needs to prove the improvable." Great quote from Steve Young.
The problem with Trey is that it was always known that he's a development project, but his injuries prevented and delayed that development for essentially 2 years. And now the 49ers simply don't have development time to afford him. They are a mature team that has to make their SB run NOW. And so they have to give the majority of 1st team snaps to Brock and mere scraps to those in the QB2 hunt. It was Trey's injuries that derailed his development window. It's ironic that the reason they went out to get him was their primary concern with JimmyG being injury-prone. And then they end up with someone even more injury-prone, with regard to games played per injury.
That said, Trey is not a bust. For him to be a bust he would need to fail after a legitimate chance at development, which he just hasn't had due to his injuries. He still MAY develop into a great QB, but he'll have to do that more and more on his own time. The 49ers are in win-now mode and simply can no longer afford to give him the focus that will accelerate his development. But Trey is young enough that he still could make it after his continuing development. I think the overnight-sensation of Trey ain't happening, but the future sensation of Trey might still happen.
I can't take it no more 💔 this QB situation is tearing me apart....I want a star QB!
Yes and welcome to the NFL. Waaaas too much pressure
Joe didn't have to try to be perfect. He was just cool and calm and did it.
Brock' s annual salary is $800k with 4 yr contract. He saved the team by leading to the nfc final and got seriously injured. I think, Trey (whose salary is $17m) should be the qb1 from now on. He is paid big. He must play big and lead the team (yes, with many more reps he need)..
Thank you Steve Young thank you
Young is such a stud #goat#8
That’s my qbs! Go trey shoutout the legend Steve young
If he’s letting all that noise into his head maybe he isn’t cut out for the NFL. Mental toughness is vital.
So Steve wasn't NFL material? He LITERALLY is explaining what happened to him!
Love how Steve put these fools in their place
Steve Young knows, Trey needs confidence and the 49ers can't give it to him. If he gets with the right team he can develop.
I totally agree with Steve Young and I’ll be consistent with what I’ve said since beginning of training camp. Trey Lance would need to really shine and obliterate the competition during preseason in order to be considered for the starting job. Steve Young is absolutely right, Trey Lance has to be damn near perfect because of what Brock Purdy accomplished while he was the starter last season. It’s really unfortunate for Trey Lance that he sat out a year in college because of Covid, sat out a year behind Jimmy his rookie season then obtained a season ending injury the following season. Regardless of how much “bad luck” Trey Lance has ben threw, the fact of the matter is he lost his job due to unavailability, then watched his backup outshine him. Its cruel, but fair. I agree with Steve Young also on the point that because of that series of unfortunate circumstances, Trey Lance’s confidence may be shot a bit. Trey Lance must really get it together on Saturday.
The part where Steve Young was talking about playing with the problem of everyone scrutinizing every play you made? He went through that when Joe Montana was traded away and Young became the starter. Montana being traded away was not a popular move with the fans. I still recall when the 49ers were having issues, people going, "That wouldn't have happened with Montana there." Montana may be gone but the fans still called San Fran his town.
I liked Young in that period because he was trying hard to prove himself against the doubters. He probably was playing too hard with some of those risks, but he played like he was desperately trying to show his mettle. He did this for years and the only way the doubts went away was when he led the 49ers to a championship in '94.
It's easy now after Young's career was done and see his accolades. He should be a no-brainer to lead the 49ers as its QB. That wasn't so from 1990-1994. Young had to beat that respect out of people, out of the fans that refused to let go of Montana.
