8th string as a freshman. OC wouldn’t coach a lefty. Was moved to defense that winter. Then we got a new OC. I was backing up Jim McMahon by April. And the rest is history. If it’s your dream, and you’re willing to put the work in, never give up on it. (Pic: 1983 Rose Bowl)

Lamar. Patrick. Josh. Michael. These are my people. I feel a tremendous kinship to the challenge of being mobile and playing the position. So when I see my guys in a situation that's not being given the opportunity to flourish, I’m gonna speak up.
Hall of Fame QB Steve Young had to get STUFF OFF HIS CHEST as it pertains to Lamar Jackson. “Don’t tell me, ‘Well, that’s Lamar - he can’t do certain things.’ I pull my hair out … because do not diminish the potential of what Lamar Jackson can be in the game today. The game *is* his game. “I’ve admired the humility and the savviness of John [Harbaugh] and the people inside the building that have done this [made changes to more passing] because to me I think it opens up the possibility for a big victory on Monday night and wins in January. … “I beg. I beg them to continue to take chances to let him develop because I still believe that, like Patrick Mahomes, Lamar could be the greatest player. You see Patrick headed that direction. And I think he and Lamar could go head-to-head for 10 more years. “I want to speak for Lamar. He hasn’t asked me to do that, but I feel like I’m the older guy and I gotta speak for my guys.” Full ep: shorturl.at/eksUV SUBSCRIBE

The holistic ability to process, filter, and decipher (in 2-3 seconds) who should get the ball -- and to do it successfully over and over again to the point that opponents can't stop you -- that’s the superpower.

Go through it not around it. #grit
In 1980, Steve Young was the 8th-string quarterback at BYU. He was on the scout team and was continually getting beat up. He was frustrated and ready to quit. Steve called his dad and said, "I'm done...This is crazy, I'm coming home." His dad's response changed his life because he said, "You can quit, but you can't come home. I'm not living with a quitter. You can decide for yourself." Steve said his bags were already packed and he would have run home in a second. He said that moment changed his life because it made him look inside himself and his willingness to be resilient and gritty. The decision was made to stay and he had to stick to it. That summer, he was moved to safety because the offensive coordinator (OC) said he would never start a lefty and Steve was having trouble throwing the ball. While on defense, he would watch how the starter, Jim McMahon, would throw the ball. Steve realized that he was throwing improperly and he adjusted his technique when practicing. At the same time, they switched OC's and the new coordinator wanted to give Steve a shot at the backup QB position with his improved technique. From there, the rest was history. He used the next year as a backup to learn everything he could from his coaches and Jim McMahon. In 1983, he was a unanimous All-American and was enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame in 2001. Takeaway 1: Grit isn't talent or luck, it's the ability to have stamina and endure. Steve Young's journey demonstrates the power of grit and perseverance. When faced with adversity, he learned the power of perseverance from his father. His opportunities only came because he was there and ready for them. It highlights the importance of tenacity and determination in pursuing your goals, even when the odds seem stacked against you. Takeaway 2: A growth mindset starts with the belief that your abilities and intelligence can be developed through hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Steve Young's throwing journey started when he recognized his weaknesses, such as his improper throwing technique, and rather than succumbing to self-doubt, he embraced the opportunity for growth and improvement. By learning great technique from Jim McMahon, he developed the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in his position. “The principle is competing against yourself. It’s about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before.” - Steve Young

I was supposed to throw eight TDs in the Super Bowl that year but I only threw six and OC Mike Shanahan got mad at me
The 1994 @NFL MVP: Steve Young 30 years ago, @SteveYoungQB delivered what many consider as one of the greatest seasons in QB history, earning his second MVP in three years, and the fifth MVP for the 49ers franchise, which was the most of any franchise at that point. Young had himself a generational campaign, with a passer rating of 112.8 (an NFL record at the time), 324 out of 461 completions, 3,969 yards, and 35 touchdowns. But Steve Young could run the ball, too. His 293 rushing yards that season were the most of any quarterback in the league, as were his 7 rushing touchdowns, and perhaps most impressively, Young fumbled only 4 times. Young was not only the best passer in the league, he was also the best running quarterback. In that era, this was an extraordinarily lethal and rare combination. In the Super Bowl, he threw six touchdown passes in a 24-for-36 performance against the San Diego Chargers, leading San Francisco to a 49–26 championship victory. On the 75th anniversary of this iconic 1994 season, a year where throwback uniforms were celebrated by the NFL and a special anniversary logo patch was worn, we’ve brought back the Authentic 49ers ‘94 uniform. Staying tuned to the finer details that make all the difference, our Authentics feature the same ‘HAY’ letters that was embroidered into each patch that year. This was done to pay homage to Ralph Hay, who was incredibly influential in bringing teams together to create a more structured professional football league.
