Well, to be fair about Montana, he was frequently injured and Young ended up getting the MVP the year before Joe went to KC (92) and they won a Super Bowl the year after (94). Joe was great in KC in '93 but even that year he missed some time with injuries and '94 was pretty bad in that regard. It was just time.
Also, Montana requested the trade because there was a major split with teammates and front offices people about whether Young or Montana should start in '93 so he really wasn't forced out.
