Montana was primarily a pocket QB. When Young came in and started flying all over the place to make plays, 49er fans started talking shit about it, saying he looked lost and shit. I even remember the fanbase calling for Bono to get the job over Young when Montana went down.
Hill is more of the Montana "type" of pocket passer. He`s not going to razzle dazzle with his feet to make plays, nor did Montana. I`m not saying Hill is = to Montana by any stretch. I`m simply making reference to the "type" of players.
Basically stating, until Young came in and turned the image of a running QB around for the 49ers, the fans hated the idea. Ironic how the perception and times have changed.
