Steve Young

[Kdo5]

The Pats must have spiked the ball on nearly all of their TD's I thought. Brady did it, Vrabel did it maybe someone else did it.

Thanks for the summaries. My favorite Parcells moment this year was when he embarrassed Steve Young on the 'gamesmanship' stuff his 49ers used to pull. The look on Young's face was priceless.

Said also you dont know if there is something from the past between BB and gibbs. Which i thought was interesting. Maybe in the 80's when BB was the D coordinator and gibbs was with the skins there was a similar situation. Would be great if someone can dig those scores up.

I think there is some stuff between them, I've heard that before too. But I don't think yesterday was personal. Belichick is doing this to everybody.

Parcells said this is a no-win situation for a coach. He said he knows of situations where a team took a knee with a lead and the other team got upset that they are being embarrassed. He also said the coach has 40 seconds to make the decision not the 24 hours the analysts have to criticize the decision (I am paraphrasing).

I just caught the end, but Parcells said something like "You don't think Bill Belichick wanted that game to end just as much as the other guys?"

A good point that was kinda lost since Key and TJ were frothing at the mouth by that point. Parcells knows Belichick as well as anyone, yet nobody seems to want to listen to him. Steve Young knows nothing about coaching and less about Belichick. Methinks he doth protest too much...

I didn't think Young said anything too terrible during the pregame. All he said was that Welker shouldn't spike the ball when they're up 44-0 and the team should be a little more conscious (his word, not mine) about the situation. He then went on to say that all of this "running up the score" talk was taking away from the real story: we're watching the best team of the past 10 years. Young kept on mentioning that the Pats are as good as a pre-salary cap team which was unbelievable in his opinion. From what I heard, him and Keyshawn had similar thoughts on the issue.

well he praised the pats and said he wanted to talk about them but they keep doing this "stupid stuff" which makes us not talk aboutthem so they should stop doing the stupid stuff. Said a championship team should act the same way when its on top as its on bottom and its not acting like one right now.

Young is being objective. He's handing out praise but not always kissing ass. Nothing wrong with that at all. No one wants to hear analysts that are homers.

It wasn't just the words...it was the way he was apoplectic about the whole situation. Something like "they have to change this" and "stop playing for the whole spygate thing".

He is usually clear and insightful but ever since violation-of-gameday-policy-gate, he just takes everything about the Pats way too personally. Almost to the point where he doesn't make much sense anymore.

Did you actually see what is being talked about here? Young was freakin off his rocker. He should be embarrassed.

Hey, didn't you get your ass kicked 6 weeks ago? You're like a battered wife. You just don't know when to get out do you?

 

[FrontSeven]

I'm glad he hasn't hopped on the other bandwagon, since he is the one who burried the Chargers with 6 TD passes in a SB.

Come on, though, one wrong comment is no big deal. You guys are sounding too thin-skinned. Steve Young is a huge Brady advocate, and he realizes how good this team is and does not deny it.

Cripes, lighten up and let somebody pick a little. You have to have some picking. It's not right to expect everybody to just fall all over this team. They will generate enemies and lovers alike.

Steve Young has been riding us for a while, and it all goes back to that special media day Bellichick did a couple years back where he said as the giants coordinator, he feared Montana much more and welcomed it when Young was in on offense, and then showed identical plays where Montana made a pig play while Young screwed it up. This of course, was in retaliation for Young harshly criticizing Chris Simms, Son of Phil, a close BB friend.

 

[PatsSteve1]

Very few ex-players who are now in the media don't have obvious bias towards thier ex-teams and the positions they played. Does Merrill Hoge ever pick against the Steelers or not say RB's and the run game is the most important thing for an offense? They are all pretty much the same in that all have agenda's, bias's and favorites.

Which is exactly why I struggle to find the logic behind Jackson's constant beratement of Bill. You'd think he'd show some gratitude to a former coach of his.

You buy into all this retaliation stuff? Sounds pretty immature and childish. I don't think Steve Young is too worried about people criticizing of his play. He's only the highest rated QB of all time, numerous pro bowls, SuperBowl rings and MVPs. And if someone says you are not as good as Montana, that's a huge compliment right there they are even comparing you to him. I've heard Steve Young go out of his way complimenting the Patriots this season but when he has any criticism all of a sudden he has a vendetta? Some people are being way too sensitive. Some things warrant a critical eye, but no one who is a blind homer can ever accept anything like that as legitimate input to be considered.

He was right about Simms, anyway. I mean if he said he sucked, I watched him get taken out of games at UT.

I am so glad someone else started this thread.

I am so sick of this pansy ass pretty boy Steve Young and his sanctimonious BS every week. I think this stupid mofo got one too many concussions because he spouts off with the most incredible line of crap I have heard in years.

Every week he sounds like a little biatch whining about something.

He needs to STFU

Yes, I do. You don't think these gusy hold onto that stuff? Why does Belichick feed these guys stuff coaches and opposing players said years ago? Then why did Belichick tell Tom Jackson to F off after winning the second super bowl, and why does Marino throw a hissy fit everytime someone brings up the fact he never got a ring, even when in jest.

These guys have egos and they care about how they are perceived. Ive heard that story about Belichick and Young from multiple people in the media. Especially for someone like Young who spent thos eyears in Joe's shadows after failing in the usfl and at tampa. Remember what a big deal he made about getting "the monkey off his back" at the super bowl? Of all the people, I think he would care a great deal, especially when someone disses you by saying they HOPED you would come into the game becaus eit mad eit that much easier to win.

 

[NYPatsFan]

I am so tired of hearing his stuff...He was compaining about Wes Welker spiking the ball with a 45 point lead. I find him to be somewhat pompous. I was just watching ESPN and Keyshawn was adamantely defending the Pats as was Parcells. Of course Tom Jackson was playing the Devils advocate...

What about opposing players doing end zone dances when DOWN by 30 (or 52) points? To me, that's worse. When Jason Taylor intercepted Matt Cassell last week, he did a little look-how-great-I-am move when running into the end zone. When the Redskins finally scored, didn't Cooley spike the ball or do something like that? Talk about futile.

 

[Michigan Dave]

It was awesome and classy when Steve found the cameras and whored it up in the closing minutes of SB XXIX after throwing his sixth TD pass. "SOMEONE TAKE THE MONKEY OFF MY BACK!" Your back Steve-O? I thought it was a team game?

 

[Pats726]

Dont PHUCC with Steve Young, He knows more about football than you will ever half-way know.

STeve young is a ponpous pig who obviously has so many concussions he has forgotten a lot of the past..
