Joe Montana, and its not even close. 4-0 in superbowl appearances when it was a ****ing mans game.
None of this built for TV offense bullshit where the qb might as well have secret service agents in the pocket with him. Defenders cant touch receivers, much less lay down intimidating hits over the middle. Might as well be flag football now.
God Id love to see Brady play ONE game in that era. Longest piss trail back home to mommy and daddy you ever seen.
Chris Jones slapped his shoulderpad lightly and it was a 15 yard personal foul. The little bitch didnt even get moved off his spot much less go down and its a 15 yard penalty. Anytime hes touched, Brady is off crying to an official about it. Biggest cunt strapping up a helmet today.
Brady's longevity and "greatness" have been manufactured by the pussification of the NFL.
for me it's hard to come up with 'The Greatest" just given how much the league has changed/ evolved. And, personally, I don't equate SB wins to a level of greatness; short of a QB carrying his team to a win. It's such a team game, it's hard to say X QB is better than Y because he has more SB wins etc.
I've always thought Marino was a bad MF at QB. Especially back in those days when the QB would actually get hit.
I'd probably have Marino, Montana, Brees, Manning and Brady. but I'd have a hard time slotting them in any order. [Reply]

I think that is a very fair answer. It's hard in any sport, but especially football, which is the ultimate team sport. There is no question but that Montana had some advantage with an innovative system and great talent. Brady an advantage with a great coach and consistency during his entire career. How do you balance that against Marino, who had a great coach, but overall not great talent? Dome vs non-dome? [Reply]
