You have to work for everything every day.

And Bill Walsh always told me this man, he said, Look, if you don't put the work in, you don't have a chance.

If you mess around all week long and and you feel like okay, now it's game time on that Sunday.

You know, somehow I'm gonna turn it up and go make those place.

No, it's not gonna happen, you know, doing those us like that Sunday that Monday are those playoff games Are those Super Bowls?

I had one speed and that was it.

And and my teammates, they thought I was crazy because they were like, Jerry, Why are you still working so hard?

Why, Why?

You're the man.

You don't have to do that anymore.

I felt like I needed to set the example if I set the example and I practiced a certain way and you know my teammates if they buy into it now we have a cohesive group.

We have an engine and we're gonna be unstoppable, you know, because you know that those guys pretty much at your back well, I think that's huge.

To be able to set your your team up to show this is the standard.

Like to create that standard to have that deliberate season and training and to go from to go from the five yard line, like you said all the way 95 yards when Joe Montana throw you that slant route every rep.

You know, Joe would always talk about that with you and and how you took every rep to the house.

And that's something that my dad always taught me.

You know, you can't like one of things that bothers me.

If a guy takes a takes a ball and stops the fire like you already gotten all the way down there like Bob, turn around now, you know, But like s o, like keep going like I always I always try to get on guys about that, but just finish the reps.

And so we have several guys.

You know, a lot of guys that do that, which is great.

They finished the rep, which is huge to me.

And so you know, a few things I want to talk to you about before I know you've got a busy day and we're all rolling.

I'm getting ready for your 40 Niners over here.

Just so you know.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm talking to Jerry Rice right now, having a good time getting ready for the last game of the regular season.

And but I want to talk about one I wanted you to quickly talk to me about you know, how significant this relationship with you and Joe was.

And the kind of the comparison with Jo and Steve.

But then also, I want you to talk about just these championship teams.

You've won the Super Bowl three times, right?

Three time Super Bowl winner.

Three times.

You will win a Super Bowl M v P.

I want you.

I want to kind of bring up some of these games.

But talk to me about just that relationship between Joe and your relationship with him and how connected that was.

But also, Steve, you kind of talked about a little bit, but And how How are they different?

Cause I I love watching great quarterbacks, and both of them are great.

Well, the thing about you know, both guys you talking about complete professionals that came to work every day, and we knew that if we had those guys under center and we have some time on the clock.

They could lead us down field and win that football game now, Joe, on the other hand, uh, my relationship with Joe it was like it was so smooth.

I mean, I mean, the timing of everything.

Uh, he knew my body language.

He knew exactly when I was getting ready to come out of a cut so he could let the ball go.

And he had the confidence in me that I was gonna, you know, fight for the ball or make that play.

And and it was just like and I always use this as an example.

My my manager, she always gets on me about this, but and I and I have told you this.

So I said, Joe, I said, Man, if you were a female, I would date you because we got such great chemistry s.

Oh, yeah, we would joke around about that.

But now think about this.

This transition of Steve Young, a lefty I had never called a ball from the lefty eso.

It's crazy how much different ball is.

People understand how the ball comes in the trajectory of the ball comes in differently to Yeah, the different spin on the ball.

So now everything that I had developed with with Joe, I had to put that on the back burner and and I had to transition to Steve.

And I was able to do that because, you know, uh, I was one of those guys that that was always going to just make plays for you.

I was gonna somehow build a relationship, you know, gain your confidence.

So doing individual drills.

I had this trainer, uh, this equipment guy.

He was a lefty.

And I would catch so many balls from him.

Just, you know, uh, in between, uh, in between drills.

So I got used to and I got acclimated to us.

Steve and Steve and I we went on.

We had two touchdown record for a long time until I think Peyton Manning.

And also, uh, over here.

Yeah.

Marvin Harrison broke that record.

Now I think Tom Brady and Gronk they have it now, but yeah, you know, I was able to adjust the Steve and I also I told Steve because of Steve, Man, you got to stay in the pocket a little bit longer man.

Because here's the deal you heard in my You're hurting my numbers right now, Okay?

Every time you run with that flip up because, you know, uh, you know, I never thought I would see the transition where the door quarterback and And you are one of the best when it comes to that.

But what I noticed about you, too, is that when you get out of the pocket, you keep your eyes downfield.

You still looking to make that play?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And Steve Young, he you know, he was the same way.

He was more of a runner at first, and he wanted to become more of a pocket passer.

And, uh, and after that man, you know, I feel like I've had two of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game.

But, you know, I could have easily after leaving, Joe, you know, had this ego where I said you know what, man, you need to just adjust to me.

But no, I wanted to adjust the Steve, and once I did that man, we were able Thio do just great things on the football.

Jeff, you got your two minute drug.
