The fear of Joe Montana put in Sam wyche's heart is the mark of a legend that feeling of all the air being sucked out the building knowing that Montana is about to win the Superbowl and there's nothing you can do to stop him.
It’s like Madden said: his teammates know he’s going to do, then when it’s the ultimate the players on the other team know he’s going to do it. I’m paraphrasing but it’s so true
"I love you." "Congratulations." "I'm happy for you, like I've never been. Believe me." "Congratulations." "This is yours. You deserve it." "Boy !" "Man ! That was a good game, huh ?" Sam Wyche, a class act !
I literally said the same thing after watching that and I grew up in Nor Cal in the 80s and of course watched this when it happened. Needless to say I believe Joe is the greatest quarterback of all time, he is the definition of clutch.
I remember watching this as a kid. Even then, I was so amazed by Montana's icy cool abilities. It's an instructive lesson: In case of emergency or trouble, REMAIN CALM. That's the only way you find an answer.
@Alexander G. Tsakumis I remember watching this as a kid, also. After the Jennings return for a TD, I lost my cool. I thought the game was over. Ironically, Joe Cool leading the game-winning drive was an early lesson in keeping calm under pressure, even when a situation seems dire.
This is the time in this game when Joe looked up in the stands and said, "Hey there's John Candy!" to his teammates in the huddle. It relaxed them. And they would go on to win. Thumbs up if you agree this is 100% TRUE!
Grew up in SF Bay Area listening to Lon Simmons announce the Niners and Giants games. One of the greatest and most underrated play by play announcers ever. He loved his teams and you could feel it in his voice.
Gary Fernandez your so right. I loved listening to Lon Simmons & Hank Greenwald call the Giants games, and I also loved Bill King broadcaster for the Warriors
@@bartonpercival2147 I grew up in the Central Valley in Northern California, listening to Lon Simmons and Joe Starkey on the Niners radio broadcasts. I also listened to Lon Simmons announce the Oakland A's games with Bill King. Lon had quite a year in 1989. He announced the Super Bowl and the World Series Game 4. I say I was spoiled in this this regard.

Montana did what he did without these rules and no one could match him, then or now

@@Mcgovern124 nah, Brady’s kryptonite was getting rattled when defenses were getting to him and beating him up, whereas Montana remained consistent while taking a beating. And under 1980s rules Brady surely would have seen way more of it.
I miss this era in football. This 49ers uni’s look pretty cool with the wide stripes on the side. And the fabrics without the hideous shine. football was perfect back then
@@stevencardenas6094 Probably the best era of football. The 70s defenses with good 80s offenses/teams. Some of the 70s offenses were awful as I recall. You had SBs where scoring a TD or 2 could almost win you the game. In the 80s you had blowouts because teams were so good at being efficient on offense and playing defense. Then you had multiple close SBs because of great defense still.
Dumisa Tony Johnson and Montana was about to head back to win 3 Super Bowls in a row and win his 5th one had the Giants not made that dirty hit from behind on him to put him out the game in the NFC championship
@@greatday558 no what make us loose that game was when roger Craig make that fumble they was winnig the game and he fumbled and giant recovered the ball whit 2:30 in the clock in the 4th quarter and tight the game
49ers have ball at own 8 yard line with 3:20 left in the game. Bengals lead 16-13. They go into the huddle. The conversation went something like this: 49ers tackle Harris Barton: Man we gotta get going! Joe Montana: Hey, check it out guys. There's John Candy in the end zone! Harris Barton: Huh? The 49ers players look down the field, and sure enough, there is John Candy, in the OPPOSITE end zone seats, over 100 yards away. Montana then drives 92 yards down field for a touchdown and the 49ers win the Super Bowl. They don't call him Joe Cool for nothing.
Joe went to 4 SuperBowls and won them all. With...few rules protecting quarterbacks or recievers, no radio in helmet, no tuck rule, no deflategate or spygate. Just he and his men . The real GOAT !
He also didn't throw a Single Interception in either of one of them. Which is Astonishing considering he played in most of the Games. Yes he was Mr. Joe Cool and Clutch when it counted. The Real GOAT before it was even a phrase.
It is better to go to a Super Bowl, then to lose and not go at all, so Brady's super bowl record is better. Montana played on super stacked teams because salary cap did not exist, and the cheating scandals were disproven.

I arrived in SF on October of 82, moving from Boston were I went to study music in 79 as a 17 year old Brazilian fan of World Cup Soccer. It was Joe Montana, Jerry Rice and company that not only introduced me to appreciate American Football but to have the privilege to root for arguably the finest comeback Quaterback in history. 🙏🇧🇷🇺🇸
Montana: forever and always, THE G.O.A.T. @ QB; no one will replace him. The best any other player can achieve, is #2. Look at how Joe conducted himself, on and off the field. During those days when QB's had far fewer rules protecting them, he never whined or complained about being hit, always kept his composure, knowing what had to be done, then went out and did it.
@Scottandrewthill Scottandrewthill Montana never cheated, never relied on a kicker, 4-0 and never threw an INT. We also have proof of Joe's greatness as he won a Superbowl well before Rice, Craig, Rathman, Jones in 82 and led to Chiefs a game away from returning with average talent on that team as well.
@@singingchef23 brady won 3 before Wes and them came and won a Super Bowl with the patriots the first year he started mind you nobody even expect them to make the playoffs and people thought they season was over after drew went down and the patriots thought about firing bill at the time because of doing bad the first season and starting off 0-2 the next
brilliant move by walsh to run down the clock with 3 time outs left. how many times have you seen go ahead drives only to leave too much time remaining? this is the super bowl, it took some serious mettle to do that.
@Paul Last Respect to you and your future first ballot HOF QB #10. This Sunday a new era begins but I have nothing but respect for the 1 who put the 1 in 18-1.
I just watched the 49ers/Giants 1990/91 NFC Championship game (Giants won 15-13, then went on to win the Super Bowl) yesterday. Quietly and in a subtle way, one of the greatest and most important games ever played given everything that happened in (and after) it
Tom Brady is THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME! And that's not just my opinion. www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001035041/article/top-25-quarterbacks-of-all-time-patriots-tom-brady-leads-list
The narrator(s) of these NFL FILMS were just amazing - and the dramatic classical music, too. I loved watching these things in the off-season or late at night.
As a kid who grew up in the shadow of Candlestick in the 80-90s I remember the entire NEIGHBORHOOD turned into this game. You could literally open the window and it sounded like the stadium was packed. RIP Mom, Pops, Sis!!!!
The Niners defense of the 80s doesn’t get the credit they deserve! In this game they held an unstoppable offense out of the end zone. That plus facing Elway and Marino and only allowing one TD pass and four picks between them is a testament to how great they were!
THE CRAZIEST part of this video is watching Steve Young standing on the sidelines while Montana lit up the Bengals. Just think about what Steve Young would go on to do and to see him on the sidelines with a game on the line is a rare sight. Tom Brady and Joe Montana are the only two guys I would put in before Steve Young with the game on the line. 3rd place is John Elway. He could come back on you quick. Im 43 years old and remember watching all of those guys live as a kid. I grew up in Rhode Island as a Pats fan but they had some bad years and during that time I found my 8 year old self routing for Joe Montana and the 49ers. That era of QBs has yet to be matched with the amount of great players in the league all at the same time.
It's okay- Joe Montana has a GREAT Football Resume from college to the pros. ONLY QB in the last 50 YEARS to win a National Championship in college AND a Superbowl in the NFL
The look on the Bengals faces on the sidelines remind me of the look from the Patriots after the helmet catch. We're on the wrong side of history and there's nothing we can do.

@@colderbeer lol, found the pats fanboy.......Brady doesnt even make backup in the 80s, but put Joe in todays game with the pass friendly rules, Montana shreds. You cant compare eras boy, but notice this: Brady always plays just enough to get into FG range then sits on it to play it safe. Joe went for the throat
Oh the look he has in his eyes when he plays damn just so focused and cool. I came to Canada in the 80s knew nothing about football, when I got introduced to it I instantly became a Montana and the 49ers fan. The niners back then was absolutely dynamite. That was the dream team.
LOL Joe Montana had been the 4th quarter clutch kid since he won the National Championship in College after sitting out with the flu for 2 1/2 quarters to score 2 TD's in 4 minutes in the 4th quarter to win the game. Tom may have perfected being a QB but Joe is the OG and manufactured whatever coach or scouts looks for and wants in a QB even to this day Pat Mahomes is compared to Joe Montana not TB. Look up the 1979 Cotton Bowl Classic and then you'll understand who Joe Montana was before he even took an NFL down, he never needed a Belilchick or Wash to be great he already just was.
John Taylor doesn’t get enough accolades for the catch. Not too mention many game winning catches or returns before the clutch catch. You know how many players got stone hands in that situation.
Joe Spitler The moment, the defenders so close to deflecting the pass . The total congestion of players in the red zone . Was a great pass still JT blocked it all out and ended the play. One last thought , how many times in SB or big moments in any sport the routine ,mundane play dudes choke ? Just think about it .
Joe Spitler sorry but one other thing I should have said he doesn’t get enough credit as an integral part of that team. That’s a better shout than the game winning SB catch. How’s that sit with you?
He was a very good receiver and an important part of that team. But he did not have a HOF career. You don’t get into the Hall because of a couple of spectacular plays. You have to look at their entire body of work. He just doesn’t stack up. His stat line is half of what the average HOF receiver has. He’s just not there.
It was a damn good SB but subsequently there have been a number of equally exciting SBs and the greatest come from behind victory is clearly the Pats against the Falcons.
@@cardigansrule completely irrelevant. The point was that the greatest comeback in the Super Bowl was in the Pats vs. Falcons and there have never been any hint of cheating in that game.
Montana met his first test in the Cotton Bowl (v. Houston) & that was the start of a legend. National Championship...4 SBs & "0" pics w/o a loss. No loss. 4-0. Case closed. 🇺🇸
First, I'm not going to stoop to your level. Do your research. Realize many hated San Francisco in the '80's but what Montana & Walsh accomplished during their tenure has got to be admired & respected. Can't overemphasize the importance of "0" pics & SB losses. Not going to dismiss pre-SB titles, but that was before the modern draft & best athletes did not play profootball. Before you slam Joe, see their #'s in those games. Joe GOAT.
@@bernieudo4399 Cotton bowl was one of the greatest comebacks ever if this generation watched that game they would understand where the legend started and didnt stop till he won every SB he played in
In Ohio there was a chant "Who Goin beat dem Bengals , who?". A week before the game I put a sign in the back of my car "Montana, Dat who!" . I received about three thousand middle fingers but I am still laughing.
The amazing thing about this drive is that walsh could have settled for three,but he said no we going for the win,and thats what winners do they dont settle they go the win.
+Alex M That's false. Joe Montana won his first two Super Bowls 16 & 19 and was the MVP of both games without Rice and there were no players on offense that were Hall Of Famers during those years. He was the only Hall of Fame offensive player on those teams.
I never went to a Superbowl, but I went to a few games at Candlestick during the Niners glory years. Sure was nice. Tickets on the 50, but I couldn't see all that much. Saw a lot more of the action at home on tv with a couple buddies...may they rest in peace.
Dear Joe Montana your my mentor and the best of the best than all the rest no other QB was better on an off the field your my bro no other QB in my life was better than you I'm 64 an to me your the best you an the 49ers no other team ment more to me than you guys God bless yous all forever Amen
He was the greatest of his era. There can never be a greatest of all time since the rules changed to protect quarterbacks and receivers. Now they even have a defenseless player flag. Back then they could knock out a quarterback or reciever running a slant across the middle. So yes Brady is the greatest of the modern era but Joe was the greatest of his time. What a team and what a coach.
The fear of Joe Montana put in Sam wyche's heart is the mark of a legend that feeling of all the air being sucked out the building knowing that Montana is about to win the Superbowl and there's nothing you can do to stop him.

@@colderbeer Get the fuck out of here, did u just try and compare DeSean fucken Jackson with Jerry "the GOAT" Rice?!?!?! Go sit down and think about what you did!
it’s beautiful to see joe throw that great pass right to rice and right as rice gets it he completely turns the jets on to 110% and gets the first down and even more !
Jerry Rice was incredible, no doubt. Combined with Montana they were a force.
Maybe bias because I'm a Niner fan but in my opinion Jerry Rice is the greatest player to ever put a uniform on!!!
It's not just a TD it's clock management. Not enough time left for the other team to score.
Almost like the ineligible receiver foul was just to knock a few seconds of the clock. Then again a great man once said I don't pay for the same real estate twice

You don't intentionally get backed up to make it 2nd and 20
@@thegoat164 yeah which is why I made the other comment
@@robdean704 He also took more time on the play prior to the Taylor throw. That are away at least 10 more seconds, maybe 20.

Lol!
It's nothing wrong for pursueing win. Especially against Montana.
I read it in my mind with montanas voice lol
I arrived in SF on October of 82, moving from Boston were I went to study music in 79 as a 17 year old Brazilian fan of World Cup Soccer. It was Joe Montana, Jerry Rice and company that not only introduced me to appreciate American Football but to have the privilege to root for arguably the finest comeback Quaterback in history. 🙏🇧🇷🇺🇸
This was one of the best Superbowls I ever saw
Montana
TOUCH DOWN!!
John Taylor!!
Of Jerry's 11 catches, the final one meant the most...it came immediately after 49ers were facing 2nd and 20 after a penalty on the final drive
Born and raised a Niner fan, now 60. Aww, those were the days. Montana is the greatest QB ever.
I remember watching this game, this clip is gold.
Montana: forever and always, THE G.O.A.T. @ QB; no one will replace him. The best any other player can achieve, is #2.
Look at how Joe conducted himself, on and off the field. During those days when QB's had far fewer rules protecting them, he never whined or complained about being hit, always kept his composure, knowing what had to be done, then went out and did it.
Ummm, ever heard of Tom Brady?
@@ATPH99PS3 um every heard of Tom Playing in the 80s. A untrained pet monkey can play in this era
Joe Montana the "GOLDEN GREAT!"
I am in awe of the talents of Joe Montana. The GOAt for real. Forgot to say both side fought the fight to the end.
b5ranger001 Ranks right up there with Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, and Kirby Puckett.
@Scottandrewthill Scottandrewthill Montana never cheated, never relied on a kicker, 4-0 and never threw an INT. We also have proof of Joe's greatness as he won a Superbowl well before Rice, Craig, Rathman, Jones in 82 and led to Chiefs a game away from returning with average talent on that team as well.
@@singingchef23 totally Agree
@@singingchef23 brady won 3 before Wes and them came and won a Super Bowl with the patriots the first year he started mind you nobody even expect them to make the playoffs and people thought they season was over after drew went down and the patriots thought about firing bill at the time because of doing bad the first season and starting off 0-2 the next
brilliant move by walsh to run down the clock with 3 time outs left. how many times have you seen go ahead drives only to leave too much time remaining? this is the super bowl, it took some serious mettle to do that.
When you have Joe Montana taking your team down the field it's easy to have a lot of confidence!
N Y Giants FAN FOR LIFE! But Montana was the greatest QB of all time.
You got that right. Niner 4 life
Niners since 89 ...live in MICHIGAN, MICHIGANER born and raised Tom will never be a JOE MONTANA and it will never be a JERRY RICE
@Paul Last Respect to you and your future first ballot HOF QB #10. This Sunday a new era begins but I have nothing but respect for the 1 who put the 1 in 18-1.
I just watched the 49ers/Giants 1990/91 NFC Championship game (Giants won 15-13, then went on to win the Super Bowl) yesterday. Quietly and in a subtle way, one of the greatest and most important games ever played given everything that happened in (and after) it
Tom Brady is THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME! And that's not just my opinion. www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001035041/article/top-25-quarterbacks-of-all-time-patriots-tom-brady-leads-list
Thank you for sharing this! As a Fourty Niners fan, I will never forget this. Stunning performance by both teams but, especially by the Niners.
#16 - The real Greatest Of All Time.
The narrator(s) of these NFL FILMS were just amazing - and the dramatic classical music, too. I loved watching these things in the off-season or late at night.
As a kid who grew up in the shadow of Candlestick in the 80-90s I remember the entire NEIGHBORHOOD turned into this game. You could literally open the window and it sounded like the stadium was packed. RIP Mom, Pops, Sis!!!!
I'm became a niners fan in 88 .I'll always thank Rice , taylor and Montana for there great memories...Go niners...
The Niners defense of the 80s doesn’t get the credit they deserve! In this game they held an unstoppable offense out of the end zone. That plus facing Elway and Marino and only allowing one TD pass and four picks between them is a testament to how great they were!
I agree. Best super bowl game in an era when real teams were developed. Free agency meant the end of legendary football.
THE CRAZIEST part of this video is watching Steve Young standing on the sidelines while Montana lit up the Bengals. Just think about what Steve Young would go on to do and to see him on the sidelines with a game on the line is a rare sight. Tom Brady and Joe Montana are the only two guys I would put in before Steve Young with the game on the line. 3rd place is John Elway. He could come back on you quick. Im 43 years old and remember watching all of those guys live as a kid. I grew up in Rhode Island as a Pats fan but they had some bad years and during that time I found my 8 year old self routing for Joe Montana and the 49ers. That era of QBs has yet to be matched with the amount of great players in the league all at the same time.
Coach Bill and Coach Sam showing each other love/respect was a wonderful site. My they both rest in peace in heaven!!!
only one word...AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
The real GOAT
To me, this just cemented Joe Montana's place as the G.O.A.T. Say what you will, but Joe Cool came up big.
Not taking anything away from Tom Brady.
It's okay- Joe Montana has a GREAT Football Resume from college to the pros. ONLY QB in the last 50 YEARS to win a National Championship in college AND a Superbowl in the NFL
The look on the Bengals faces on the sidelines remind me of the look from the Patriots after the helmet catch. We're on the wrong side of history and there's nothing we can do.
Don't forget the Super Bowl, Patriots down by 43 and 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter and came back and WON

Bill Walsh, among the elite NFL coaches ever.
Uno de los mejores , señor Joe montanna gracias por tantas alegrías Alós 49ers ...👍✌️
Best QB Montana and on 2 different teams! Miss those days
Today's QB's wouldn't last half a season playing in the 80's when you could actually hit the QB!
Lmao 😂 romanticising the old days. It's not even half as bad as y'all portrayed it to be
Bears Eagles Giants Raiders Redskins defense knocked out dozens of QBs in the 80s
@@1minute99 Defenses were allowed to destroy QB's until the late-90s. You're clueless if you think otherwise.
Exactly 🙏🏽👏👏👏🔥❤️
Brady would not have played 22 seasons.
2:44 Steve Young on the sidelines thinking: "Next year, for sure I'll be running the offense!"
He low-key was hoping for a pick 6, what a dick lol
Montana picked their defense apart even w/ them knowing the chances of Montana keeping the ball & running w/ it was at 0%.
Truly, the GOAT.
Joe Montana was the greatest quarterback in NFL history. Tom Brady just played in weak football divisions that’s the only reason he won.
Remember this game so well love Joe Montana and the 49ers greatest supercool game ever
Greatest final drive in sport's history!

Love that guy and I'm a bear's fan
Joe looked so great, in San Fran colors ...Joe wore 16 ...I was born January 16 ...good stuff
Rice had the best hands in football. I wasn't a 49ers fan but I couldn't deny one the best to players in the game

@@ThePopbanks007 Biletnikoff best hands. Carter second. It's already been proven.
My idol, beefore the Bengals got there. I loved it, found more kids to play, we had extra local fun. (: *^
In my opinion the greatest QB I've ever seen
Kurt Adams
He was pretty clutch
@@dumisatonyjohnson8145 yes indeed
For the time and decade yes by a Mile but overall no way any more. I’d say number two all time though.
@@hydro.pl.27 Joe Montana is a career back-up playing behind Tom Brady if he played in today's era.
@@colderbeer lol, found the pats fanboy.......Brady doesnt even make backup in the 80s, but put Joe in todays game with the pass friendly rules, Montana shreds. You cant compare eras boy, but notice this: Brady always plays just enough to get into FG range then sits on it to play it safe. Joe went for the throat
Oh the look he has in his eyes when he plays damn just so focused and cool. I came to Canada in the 80s knew nothing about football, when I got introduced to it I instantly became a Montana and the 49ers fan. The niners back then was absolutely dynamite. That was the dream team.
John Taylor was a great wide receiver, if he was a starter on another team he will be in the NFL Hall of Fame.
Taylor was a starter for niners
Lon Simmons with the call from the radio. Total excitement
That was a great drive. Remember that Tom Brady did that not once but 3 times against the Falcons and twice against the Seahawks #1 defense.
LOL Joe Montana had been the 4th quarter clutch kid since he won the National Championship in College after sitting out with the flu for 2 1/2 quarters to score 2 TD's in 4 minutes in the 4th quarter to win the game. Tom may have perfected being a QB but Joe is the OG and manufactured whatever coach or scouts looks for and wants in a QB even to this day Pat Mahomes is compared to Joe Montana not TB. Look up the 1979 Cotton Bowl Classic and then you'll understand who Joe Montana was before he even took an NFL down, he never needed a Belilchick or Wash to be great he already just was.
If you gave it a disliked to this video, either you are a Bengal's fans or you don not apreciarte the beauty of American Football.
John Taylor doesn’t get enough accolades for the catch. Not too mention many game winning catches or returns before the clutch catch. You know how many players got stone hands in that situation.
It was a routine catch, ball hit him in the #'s. That's what a WR is supposed to do when a ball is thrown that perfect.
Joe Spitler The moment, the defenders so close to deflecting the pass . The total congestion of players in the red zone . Was a great pass still JT blocked it all out and ended the play. One last thought , how many times in SB or big moments in any sport the routine ,mundane play dudes choke ? Just think about it .
Joe Spitler sorry but one other thing I should have said he doesn’t get enough credit as an integral part of that team. That’s a better shout than the game winning SB catch. How’s that sit with you?
im a bengals fan, and the drive tore my heart out back then, but now i can respect it.
And you mean to tell me John Taylor is not in the HOF? That’s wrong!
Yeah, it's not always about total yards in your career it's about catching the ball when it counts !!
Yeah, it's not always about the total number of yards in your career. I think what's more important is catching the ball when it counts.
No.. Doesn’t deserve to be in the HoF..
@@gussi123 Yeah he does.
He was a very good receiver and an important part of that team. But he did not have a HOF career. You don’t get into the Hall because of a couple of spectacular plays. You have to look at their entire body of work. He just doesn’t stack up. His stat line is half of what the average HOF receiver has. He’s just not there.
Montana, Rice, Taylor, Craig, Lot ECT... Greatest football team ever assembled!!!
Brady's comeback vs the Falcons was the Greatest Comeback of All Time...and it's not close.
I remembered I was 8 first game I ever watched.... been a die-hard Niner fan ever since!!!!!
It was a damn good SB but subsequently there have been a number of equally exciting SBs and the greatest come from behind victory is clearly the Pats against the Falcons.
wrong because the Pats are cheaters and Tom Brady is boring
@@cardigansrule completely irrelevant. The point was that the greatest comeback in the Super Bowl was in the Pats vs. Falcons and there have never been any hint of cheating in that game.
@@ellioteaston7745 Yeah, but Montana was the first quarterback to pull off such a feat. Plus, the game is totally different compared to 1988.
Total precision and no panic!
You just knew when big games were on the line he was THE BEST EVER
He was....till brady passed him
Montana met his first test in the Cotton Bowl (v. Houston) & that was the start of a legend. National Championship...4 SBs & "0" pics w/o a loss. No loss. 4-0. Case closed. 🇺🇸
First, I'm not going to stoop to your level. Do your research. Realize many hated San Francisco in the '80's but what Montana & Walsh accomplished during their tenure has got to be admired & respected. Can't overemphasize the importance of "0" pics & SB losses. Not going to dismiss pre-SB titles, but that was before the modern draft & best athletes did not play profootball. Before you slam Joe, see their #'s in those games. Joe GOAT.
@@bernieudo4399 Cotton bowl was one of the greatest comebacks ever if this generation watched that game they would understand where the legend started and didnt stop till he won every SB he played in
If you want to talk about comebacks, Brady came back from 28-3 and has had more challenges in opponents.
In Ohio there was a chant "Who Goin beat dem Bengals , who?". A week before the game I put a sign in the back of my car "Montana, Dat who!" . I received about three thousand middle fingers but I am still laughing.
This is the Real GOAT 🐐
🧢
If for whatever reason in 1989 one wasn't watching this on television, it would have been a remarkable experience to listen to it on the radio.
Joe Montana aka Mr Joe COOL!!
The amazing thing about this drive is that walsh could have settled for three,but he said no we going for the win,and thats what winners do they dont settle they go the win.
Joe Montana is the GOAT, when Joe played the QB wasn't given a safety net, if you sneeze at a QB now it's 15 yards.
Yeah and he had to play with Jerry Rice and that whole cast of Hall of Famers for basically his whole career before free agency/cap era.
Alex M tell the bears, Giants, and redskins that. More than one team in the 80's it wasn't all the niners
Alex M montana did win two before rice
Kerry Kerr not true.
+Alex M That's false. Joe Montana won his first two Super Bowls 16 & 19 and was the MVP of both games without Rice and there were no players on offense that were Hall Of Famers during those years. He was the only Hall of Fame offensive player on those teams.
I never went to a Superbowl, but I went to a few games at Candlestick during the Niners glory years.
Sure was nice. Tickets on the 50, but I couldn't see all that much. Saw a lot more of the action at home on tv with a couple buddies...may they rest in peace.
I love my Cowboys but super Joe is the greatest QB of all time👍😎👌
Joe Montana-GOD AMONGST THE TITANS!
Montana & Rice = G.O.A.T!!!!!!!
Dear Joe Montana your my mentor and the best of the best than all the rest no other QB was better on an off the field your my bro no other QB in my life was better than you I'm 64 an to me your the best you an the 49ers no other team ment more to me than you guys God bless yous all forever Amen
Until Superbowl LI #TB12 # G.O.A.T.
I literally cried my eyes out and is a huge reason I am a fanatic 49ers fan! This win will always be edged in my brain
He was the greatest of his era. There can never be a greatest of all time since the rules changed to protect quarterbacks and receivers. Now they even have a defenseless player flag. Back then they could knock out a quarterback or reciever running a slant across the middle. So yes Brady is the greatest of the modern era but Joe was the greatest of his time. What a team and what a coach.
Joe Montana what a beautiful thing to watch him in his glory
