Tom Brady will always be #2
The greatest doesnt get the **** beat out of him in the SB
This all day!!
It ain't over yet but either way ... of all the great players in NFL history ... my first pick in that draft would be Joe.
I don't know... This is Brady's 17th year and he's in a super bowl. Montana didn't play but 16 and he's wasn't near as good his last 2 years at KC. Another thing is NE can put different receivers around Brady, but doesn't matter... Brady keeps rolling
Top 5 for me
1. Joe Montana
2. Tom Brady
3. Terry Bradshaw
4. Johnny U/ Peyton Manning
5. Steve Young
Montana carried those teams farther than they should have gone. If the 49'ers dont have a HOF back-up QB in Steve Young- Montana never leaves SF and wins his 5th SB in 1993 or 1994. He kinda got screwed over because the 49'er organization was so good back then.Quote:

Career rating...
Montana -- 92.3
Brady -- 97.2
Montana had perhaps the best wr ever almost all his career
Joe had Rice & Taylor for only 2 of his 4 Superbowls. Not all 4. Dwight Clark and Freddie Solomon were his receivers for his 1st two SBs. He also was in AFC Title game his last year in KC and was knocked out with a concussion (his 3rd). He retired after that one.Quote:

If super bowl wins are the ultimate determinate of qb greatness, then Eli > Brady, no?
Without a doubt IMO.Quote:

Times are different with free agents, Montana, having the greatest wide receiver is a big big reason Montana and Young had also.
Montana was great but so is Brady, I can't say I would choose one over the other. Coin flip for me.
Dwight Clark at WR. Wendell was RB is 2nd SB, with Roger Craig as FB. Earl Cooper and Bill Ring were RBs in 1st SB.Quote:

Eli 2-0 vs Brady in Super Bowls. Fwiw, I don't think Eli even close to BradyQuote:
