1987 was the first year that Young was on the 49ers, having been traded from Tampa at the start of the season. In fact early in the season he was the #3 QB...but throughout the season he ended up playing for an oft-injured Montana who returned in 1987 from back surgery in 1986.
Young did throw the record-breaker, the previous record before Rice was owned by Mark Clayton (18)
Edited to add...Montana threw 13, Young 8, and RB Harry Sydney threw 1 to Rice in 1987.
