I think he broke a bone in his throwing hand in that 1990 game. My thought was the Niners would have won if he was able to finish. When you said Joe was hurt against the Giants, I flashed to the more memorable hit that put him on the shelf for the game and the entire next (1987) season.
Joe played the entire 87 season

(besides the strike games that he missed). he missed the 91 and most of 92 season with an elbow injury. That's when Steve Young got his chance. he sat out half the year in 1986 due to a back issue and Jeff Kemp (son of former Bills qb and famous politician Jack Kemp) started the majority of the other games, along with a guy by the name of Mike Moroski (or something like that; former UC Davis qb).
