San Francisco has had some big names under center as the years have gone on.
Y.A. Tittle, Joe Montana, John Brodie are just a few, but one name just came in at No. 11 on CBS Sports' best quarterbacks in NFL history, Steve Young.
"Young's pro career included two years in the USFL, two forgettable years with the Buccaneers and two Super Bowl wins in San Francisco as Joe Montana's backup," writes CBS Sports' Bryan DeArdo. "Young didn't become a full-time starter with the 49ers until he was 30 years old. Despite that, he enjoyed a prolific career that included seven straight Pro Bowl selections, two league MVPs and a Super Bowl MVP. His 96.8 career passer rating was the best in NFL history at the time of his retirement.
"In Super Bowl XXIX, Young threw for a Super Bowl record six touchdowns and was the first QB to lead both teams in rushing in a Super Bowl. Speaking of running, Young was one of the best dual-threat QBs in NFL history. He's sixth all-time among quarterbacks in career rushing yards and fourth in career touchdown runs."
Young didn't just go to seven Pro Bowls, he went to seven straight from the ages of 31-37.
Across 13 seasons in San Francisco, Young posted 124 starts in 150 games and threw for 29,907 yards and 221 touchdowns with a 65.8 completion percentage.
He was also named to First-Team All-Pro three times and Second-Team All-Pro three additional teams, was named Offensive Player of the Year in 1992 and finished second in that voting two more times in 1993-94.
