San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young hugs the Lombardi Trophy at Miami's Joe Robbie Stadium on Jan. 29, 1995. An unconscious Young crumpled on the turf is an image that sticks in the mind. And the fear it could happen again with more devastating consequences is at the core of the question of whether Young plays again or walks away from football. Now, at 38, he must decide his future. By Friday, June 9, 2000, Young says he will decide from three options: resume his career with the 49ers, a remote possibility for the cap-stressed, rebuilding team; ask for his release and play elsewhere, most likely Denver; or retire from a game he has played for 30 years, 17 as a professional.
