Regarding Young being a scrambling QB, not a pocket passer, you are talking to a devoted Niners fan since 1987. As someone that watched probably every game Young ever played, I think I'm more than qualified to answer whether he was a pocket passer or not.
Just because you watch highlights of Young being able to scramble doesn't mean he did it on every play. Frankly put, you can't be a QB in the West Coast Offense if you don't make quick, accurate decisions, something which doesn't lend itself to a QB who is letting plays breakdown frequently.
This is just really stupid. you know nothing of the niners and the west coast offense. Walsh's west coast offense relies on a 3 step drop, not a 5 or 7 step drop like other offensives. the 3 step drop forces QBs to make faster decisions. if they can't find a receiver in a 3 step drop, then they have to make a play with their feet, either throwing on the run or running to the sidelines. that is why Walsh always favored or had to draft and coach scrambling QBs like Montana, Young, and Garcia (now Kaepernick)
