Boom. Young actually have a better qb rating than Montana

Absolutely not. Jamal Lewis would be the GOAT RB if that was the case. Corey Dillon would be top 5. To be GOAT you have to factor in the entirety of the career not just the best 4 or 5 seasons.

I agree but I also want to point out that Young and the 49ers only won the Super Bowl once after Montana left- and that was with a team that they loaded up on free agent superstars to accomplish the task.

I'm counting all years that they played over half of a season or more. That is what I am considering "peak"- not just best 4 or 5. Essentially what you are saying is era does matter but you just don't realize it. Which is exactly what I have been saying all along.

Which already invalidates your argument. Passer rating is heavily influenced by attempts and favors offenses that throw more- like the ones today do vs. the ones the ones back in the 80's.

Montana is the 2nd best QB of all-time. That's pretty good. He ain't GOAT. There's a reason you're the only one still arguing he is.

I loved Joe Montana but he?s #2. Brady is the GOAT. The overall body of work, regular season, post season, statistically, longevity, it?s no contest, and Brady isn?t finished.

Imagine Brady with Rice and Taylor.
