Steve Young Blasts 49ers Ownership

Earlier this week, Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young appeared on the Tolbert and Lund Show on San Francisco’s KNBR 680.

And he didn’t mince any words about how the York’s ownership has put the 49ers into their current situation.

Here are some of Young’s comments (transcribed by our friend Rob Lowder over at Niners Wire):

"You don’t have to win to make money. That’s (the York’s) A-game. Their equity value in the team is their A-game. It’s what drives them. It’s what drives most of the owners. It’s what matters. It’s what they think about. It’s what they talk about. And the B-game, is whether we win some games. It doesn’t mean that you don’t want to, or you don’t really want to, or it’s not really important. It’s just not the A-game. And so when it’s not the A-game, that’s the biggest issue with the NFL, is that success doesn’t track to success on the field. So that you’re not held accountable."

Young went on to comment how everyone involved in the organization should, in all intents and purposes, be jettisoned from the team unless he or she can prove to be a “part of the solution.”

We know this — Young simply echoed what the vast majority of Niners fans are feeling right now.
