CTM Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 2 hours ago, Klecko73isGod said: Steve Young won 1 Super Bowl 3 years after Montana left. He didn't go to any others. Weak argument. again, SB's aren't the end all be all. Anything can happen in 1 game, the trick is maximizing your chances to get there by winning division titles and grabbing 1 or 2 seeds consistently., Steve Young went to 3 straight Conf championships post Montana, won 4 straight divisional titles and 1 st rd byes, and made the playoffs 7 years in a row. It's complete Brady bias to suggest that doesn't undermine Montana's claim. And again, I'm a Montana fan! I couldn't stand the Giants and rooted NFC in SB's because it wasn't the Jets from the AFC. Loved watching him and rooted for him every year come playoff time, but Brady has been ridiculous. You want to credit Belichick, fine, thats a different discussion, but in terms of sustained success and excellence Montana isn't in the same league. I can also see the guys who are voting for Rodgers or Marino based on the overwhelming physical talent that dwarfs both of these guys, but Brady v Montana comes down to W/L's imo and Brady takes the cake.

Wes Welker and Julian Edelman are no Jerry Rice. Like I said, Jets Fan bias. Montana was great, maybe even the 2nd best ever. He's not the GOAT. Brady is 27-10 in the playoffs. That's 37 postseason games played over 15 playoff seasons (of his 19 seasons so far). He has >10,000 playoff postseason yards. A 71-31 TD/INT Ratio in the postseason and a career >90 postseason QB Rating. He has QB's his team to EIGHT Super Bowls. Eight. He won 5 of them. 4 other times he was one game away from the Super Bowl. In the era of mediocrity and one-year-teams, his Patriots have won the East and been in the postseason and either in the SB or the Championship Game almost every year of his near 20 year career. Joe only played 13 years. Brady is already 5 seasons beyond him. Joe had 11 playoff seasons and 4 Super Bowls to Brady's 15 and 8. Joe's 41-21 TD/INT ratio in the postseason is amazing.....till you compare it to Brady's 71-31 ratio. It's just hard to say "the rules, the rules!" (ignoring the effects Free Agnecy has had in keeping good teams together) and have that overcome the vast gulf of exceptional performance and longevity of Brady vs. Montana. And lets be clear, Brady could get his team to their NINTH Super Bowl this year, and possibly their 6th Super Bowl win. And he could play, potentially at a post-season, Super Bowl level, for another couple of years. Lets say he finishes at 22 years, 9 Super Bowls, 6 Super Bowl wins. Joe's 4-0 in Super Bowls over a nine year span is impressive. Brady's possible 6-3 in Super Bowls over a 20'ish year span is more impressive. Give the guy his due ffs. It's impossible to really compare any more. If Brady played in the 80s, no way he lasts 20 years. Look at the shot the Giants put on Montana to knock him out in 86, that's not legal now. I'm not taking away from Brady. He didn't play those killer Bears defenses of the 80s. He didn't go to Philly with that crazy defense and concrete astro turf. He never took a blind side shot from LT in the Meadowlands, also on concrete astro turf. It's just a different game, and I will always go with Joe. He dominated a time where I think it was more difficult to dominate. Just one guy's worthless opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirorob Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 If it is just rings, wouldn't it be Otto Graham? Played 10 years. Went to 10 NFL Championship games. Won 7. I'm just using this to point out how it is impossible to compare different eras. Football has changed so much over the years. Heck, it has changed so much since Brady has been playing it is amazing.

I am not saying Brady is bad. I am saying, to me, it is Joe, then Brady, then... i don't really know. Dominate was the wrong word. Put up "great numbers that 20 years ago would have been impossible" for a prolonged time. I'd still argue the best single season passing was Marino in 84. To set records that hold up for 20 years is amazing. To beat the passing TD record by 12 is amazing. Marino's yardage mark is still top 10.

Nobody brought it in big moments better. If you say Brady you are either under 40 or an ass like CTM. 4-0 in super bowls but remember how much better the NFC was in those days, the real SB was usually the NFC championship. Montana lost playoff games leading Os to 3 points twice, the lowest amount brady ever led an O to in a playoff loss was 13. Brady is 14-3 in WC div rds, Montana 9-4 Brady is 8-4 in conf championship games, Montana 4-3 Brady 19-3 at home in playoffs, Montana 10-2 Brady 3-4 on road in postseason, Montana 2-5 Montana always had more talent around him than Brady, Montana is a worthy #2 but he's not close to Brady.
