Respect to Joe Montana, the only reason I started to watch the NFL .. thanks for all the great memories!
Me too!
Same. My dad was a 49er fan. Montana was my idol. Became decent QB because of him too. 🔥
The Joe Montana game of all time was November 9th 1986. After returning from major back surgery to correct a herniated disc, the 49ers played the St. Louis Cardinals, Joe was 16 of 22 for 296 yards and 3 TD’s. Simply amazing.
I was at that game. Amazing. Still have the ticket stub!
Then he played Dexter Manley in the Clean Your Clock game at RFK the following week.
I alway thought it was remarkable that Joe overcame a career ending injury to go on and win many more games and two more Super Bowls.
On the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle after he had surgery on his back. The headline was”Joe Wants Pizza!” 😂
I’ll never forget the comeback against the Bengals. My dad was furious and stopped watching to take a shower. When he came out I screamed “dad they won!” He said “what?!” I said again “they won!” I’ll never forget the look of shock on his face.
Bengals are now the only team to lose three SBs on come from behind touchdowns to win the game. Montana twice and now Stafford. All three games were heartbreakers that the Bengals could have won.
It was a great drive but, as someone who was hoping Cincinnati would win - I EXPECTED the 49ers to go down and score.
@@davidking4838 There is that....
He shouldn't have been so shocked. Cincy left a lot of time for Montana to work with.
@@timclaus8313 they could’ve easily had 3 I rather lose 4 straight with the bills at least they got there ass kicked in 3
I loved watching Joe Montana from Playing for Notre Dame all thru his NFL. No matter if they were down by over 14 points and there was only 4 minutes left for the game he would make huge plays and they would win . To me Joe Montana will always be the greatest Q.B that played.
I totally agree.
Joe Is the Greatest QB of all time... He never lost .. Just Like Jordan... Tom Brady Lost Several Times... Just like Lebron
Agreed. One of his greatest games was against USC in 1978. Never did anyone look greater in a loss.
Actually he was my neighbor, I showed him how to throw the football.
This one is for you Mr. Clark beautiful catch right after a beautiful throw by Mr. Montana!!! Today Mr. Clark you graduated to the big leagues up in the Sky. May you forever rest in peace and know the many blessings that you have earned here on this Earth. May God bless and comfort your family but also have the peace that comforteth and passeth all of human understanding. Thank you for being a part of one of the greatest teams ever and for being so faithful to the 49'rs!!!!
IMHO the GOAT; and a great person too. He signed a football for me at a pre-game Super Bowl event in Indianapolis a few years back after he had retired. There was a huge line of people waiting to get his autograph and I'll never forget, he seemed in the moment, not rushed, not bothered; after signing, he looked me in the eyes and said something to the effect of "are you having a good time here? I said "yeah Joe and thanks for signing this ball he shook my hand and never broke eye contact and said "my pleasure"". That is a class act guy right there.
Montana never threw an interception in the Super Bowl. I know this is not a Team thing but look at the QBs he beat Elway, Marino, Boomer Esiason, & Kenny Anderson. Two of these are arguably the greatest QB's. These are the QBs that Brady has beaten, Jake Delhomme, Matt Ryan, Donovan McNabb, Patrick Mahomes, Kurt Warner, Jared Goff, & Russell Wilson. He lost to Eli Manning twice and Nick Foles. I think Brady had 3 last minute/second wins. One was an INT by Malcolm Butler and Adam Vinatieri had 2 game winning kicks in the SB. Montana didn't need an INT or a game winning kick to win. Joe was just perfect when it came to crunch time. That's why his nickname is Joe Cool.
I grew up in that era so it's been hard to accept but there really isn't any debate that Brady is the GOAT. It pains me to even say those words but there really isn't any realistic debate. For every Joe moment, Brady's done it 3 more times and in bigger situations. Joe was magic, take nothing away from him, Brady has simply exceeded it through good fortune and longevity.
@@PickpocketJones Brady has also screwed up way more times than Montana did. Montana has a 16-7 playoff record. In 3 of those losses he was knocked out of the game on hits that would be illegal today. In 1990 he was knocked out of the game late in the 4th quarter of NFC CHAMPIONSHIP game. The 49ers were leading and if he doesn’t get knocked out they would became the 1st team to 3-peat as Superbowl Champs. In 1993 Its his 1st year in Kansas City and he has them in the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP game and in the 1st quarter he got knocked out of the game with a concussion on a viscous hit. So he was very close to winning 5 or 6 Superbowls but because the quarterback wasn’t protected like they are today he didn’t get that opportunity. So not only is Montana 4-0 in Superbowls but teams had to pretty much knock him out of the game to beat him in post season. He didn’t need a lucky tuck rule call to advanced to his 1st Superbowl and he didn’t need a kicker to kick 2 game winnings kicks as time expired, a safety to make an interception on a play that shouldn’t have even happened because Seattle should of ran the damn ball, Atlanta to keep dropping back to pass when they were already in FG range and a FG wins seals it.
Yeah Brady made plays but he had so many things go his way and his longevity is due to the era he played in. The 1 year Brady got hurt the following year they make a rule that you can longer hit a QB In the legs. How much more protected can a player be when the NFL makes a rule based on your injury.
Montana is the 🐐
@@PickpocketJones Brady is a baby. Montana was a man.
Packers fan here. I've always considered Joe the GOAT. He played when the defense could literally annihilate the QB, and he still did what he did. The best ever.
RIP #87 Dwight Clark!! You were awesome!
He was...
Thank You Clark
Absolutely! I'm a Cowboys fan but always respected Dwight Clark. He was taken way too soon.
Joe Is the Greatest QB of all time... He never lost .. Just Like Jordan... Tom Brady Lost Several Times... Just like Lebron
What John Madden said in the end of this video I must whole heartedly agree! Golden Joe Montana IS the greatest Quarterback to ever play the game!!!
I saw Joe Montana one time during the 90’s at the airport, and I remember being shocked by just how small he was!! The fact that this guy went up against 300 lb. Linemen and not only survived, but thrived is amazing!
It's kinda like the guy in the 1st Terminator movie. You don't need to be a big buffed meatball to be a physical or sports hero. I like it.
He was at least 6'2". He didn't weigh over 180 though. Very skinny man overall. I never met him up close, but some rugby club teammates of mine did in a bar in SF back in 1984. They said he had some serious shoulders, but from there down was thin as a rail.
I feel incredibly fortunate to‘ve been a young Bay Area Niner fan during those years. What an incredible rush it was to witness the unalterable greatnesss of the Forty-Niner dynasty.
Yes, we were spoiled by those old cogers. I can't believe I just wrote that. I was so upset at Jim Harbaugh and Kyle Shanahan for losing both Super Bowls that was winnable. I wanted to keep the Niners PERFECT record. Five for Five!
The best play Joe Montana ever made was calling a 6 year old boy from Edgeton KS on his birthday because the kids mom had cancer and she contacted Joe as a last request for her son to talk to his hero. That kid was me and I’d love to relive that call with him someday. I can’t imagine ever topping that on ESPN. He’s still my hero not for on the field plays but whenever I’ve had tough times I play that call back in my mind and it gives me hope.
Sorry about your mom. Really cool of Joe to do that
Sorry about your mom, my mom died of cancer.I always heard that Joe Montana is a class act.
I’m so sorry about your mom. That’s an incredible story though. Even though I’m a Steelers fan, Joe will always be my second favorite quarterback (after Terry Bradshaw)
This is why Joe Montana will always be the goat because of what he does on and off the field.
Memories brought a tear to my eye. Joe made football fun.
Joe Montana was fun to watch.
Tom Brady thinks so too. He was 7 exits down Highway 101
Joe Montana top
Brady is so boring to watch
This is when football was played, NO guts No glory (Smash mouth). There were ZERO rules about how to hit the quarterback.
You can't compare football then with football now.
Hands down THE Greatest quarterback ever!!!
Eagles fan here. I was at this game and couldn't believe what I was witnessing. Made me a Montana fan that day!
I still think his greatest characteristic was his incredible calmness, or as Walsch called it, his "serenity".
The picture of Coach Walsh lying down saying 'How are we gonna beat Marino' as a tactic...... just brilliant and hilarious..
Marino, arguably one of the greatest QB's of all time!
@@yuma9663 Marino was not a scrambler. He was more of a pocket passer. Montana was both a pocket passer and a scrambler, and Joe can throw on the run.
Joe Is the Greatest QB of all time... He never lost .. Just Like Jordan... Tom Brady Lost Several Times... Just like Lebron
The 1988 win over the Giants in the final minute in 1988 was my favorite Montana win. That crowd was literally STUNNED into silence as Jerry Rice caught the bomb to win the game.
I've always been a die hard fan of Steelers and I Loved Terry Bradshaw but for me the best QB of all time is Joe Montana. He was a natural and won many games with spectacular come backs
I agree.... am also a diehard Steelers fan... but I can say that I had the privilege to witness the GOAT.... Joe Montana... undefeated in Super Bowls... when crunch time comes there was no one better in THE biggest stage... the Super Bowl... yes, Brady won 5 BUT he ALSO lost 3 .....(.625%) compared to 1000%... if you're UNDEFEATED in anything in the sports world, its something to marveled at.
Steelers had the best defense imagine playin against montana in that time it wulda been football lore!!!
U just cant compare different eras nfl rules but come on joe montana probably the best in our era can u agree? No haters allowed jaja😄😉
pst702 so going to less SB’s and winning less SB’s is better? LMAO what a stupid comment.
@J M So ur saying u pick brady over joe in the superbowl????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I loved Joe since I watched that comeback victory against the Bengals as a 4 year old. My favorite player of all time, and to see the beatings he took. Just the toughest, greatest QB ever
This was also why he became my hero and why I played football up through college. :)
Joe Is the Greatest QB of all time... He never lost .. Just Like Jordan... Tom Brady Lost Several Times... Just like Lebron
Watching this on Montana is how you make an old man come to tears. Joe is only 2 weeks older than me and I grew up in the east bay and I was a 9er fan when YA Tittle was our QB. The championship game against the Cowboys in 81 was the game that put us on the map. Thanks for the memories Joe.
I still have that game saved on VHS tape. With the first Niner Super Bowl saved right after it. (I knew at the time that they would win both.)
I consider myself lucky enough as a 9 year old watching the NYG/SF playoff game before The Catch! I remember being in awe of Rob Carpenter (???) of the Giants catching a bomb but The Catch is what sold me! However, I feel that strip sack by Lawrence Pillars doesn’t get much attention.
@@emteebee1872 - It's true that the results of any game is due to a combination of several factors.
Joe Is the Greatest QB of all time... He never lost .. Just Like Jordan... Tom Brady Lost Several Times... Just like Lebron
recalling Y.A. Tittle, is like recalling Sterling Moss re; motor car racing.
This is when football was played, NO guts No glory (Smash mouth). There were ZERO rules about how to hit the quarterback.
You can't compare football then with football now.
Hands down THE Greatest quarterback ever!!!
3 years later… and Brady is the goat
Too bad brady will still be considered the goat and all you 60 year old montana fans will continue to be butthurt....
every facet in todays game is better. today's average player is bigger , stronger, faster, more athletic, more skilled. the coaching is better. the schematics is better. the 2 min drill is better. the special teams and kicking game is better. even with all the ticky tack rule changes, todays game is better.
Lol. Brady wouldn't have won a single championship on the teams Montana played for!!!
@@MisterCrookedNose Lol... Brady wouldn't be able to last more than a few seasons during this time.
Longevity and greatness are two different things.
And Brady was carried by his defense most of the times, btw.
Brings back all the memories of watching the 49ers with my dad.
You said it!
@j** tee great to be a niner fan those days
Back when it was a joy to watch the NFL.👍🏾
In my opinion the Greatest QB I've ever seen
YOU HAVE THE WRONG OPINION. BRADY IS THE GOAT
@@queenfanpiper6299 Lol. You're pathetic. You have the wrong opinion.
@@queenfanpiper6299 Brady plays in an era where if the defense even looks at him harshly, it's a 10 yard penalty. Montana played when defenses hit quarterbacks...and receivers for that matter. Brady couldn't carry Joe's jock strap.
@@ThatGuy-ot9uv STOP LYING
@@ThatGuy-ot9uv IF BRADY PLAYED FOR THE 49NERS IN THOSE DAYS THE 49NERS WOULD HAVE DONE MUCH BETTER THAN WITH JOE
As a Dallas fan who remembers where everyone in the family was sitting during that game, I would be very disappointed if the catch was not #1. He faced tougher comp, no rules to protect him, & played against everyone from Doomsday, LT & Banks, Manley & Mann, & many other killer defenses. Clearly the greatest qb ever
Montana never threw an interception in the Super Bowl. I know this is not a Team thing but look at the QBs he beat Elway, Marino, Boomer Esiason, & Kenny Anderson. Two of these are arguably the greatest QB's. These are the QBs that Brady has beaten, Jake Delhomme, Matt Ryan, Donovan McNabb, Patrick Mahomes, Kurt Warner, Jared Goff, & Russell Wilson.

Montana didn't need an INT or a game winning kick to win. Joe was just perfect when it came to crunch time. That's why his nickname is Joe Cool.
Joe Montana.....the greatest of all time.
Even Brady agrees with you
@Sideshow Bob what two times are you talking about?
NO! 2ND BEST. BRADY IS THE BEST
You spelled Tom Brady wrong
brady
The actual GOAT. 4-0 in SBs, played in the toughest era for a passer. Beat the other GOATs of the league.
Brady beat Manning and Ben multiple times in big games
Brady better
Michael Werner and brees
I'll give Brady props for being a great QB (although Bill B. gets a lot of the credit for their success). But, Brady and Montana played in two completely different leagues. Montana gets crushed by Leonard Marshall, gets broken ribs, a broken hand, bruised sternum and spine, and it's all in a days work. Brady gets an incidental touch on the shoulder pad and they throw the flag for roughing the passer. Surely you remember it since it just happened a few weeks ago against the Chiefs. If Brady got hit like that he would shatter into pieces.
@@Wibtlol Brady`s stats are fixed by the same guy, that does his taxes.
How do you leave off Montana Elway Monday Night Football? Arguably the greatest MNF Game ever.
Best game i have ever been to!
Exactly! I remember staying up to watch the whole thing with my dad, because it was such a close game.
Agree!!
Joe Is the Greatest QB of all time... He never lost .. Just Like Jordan... Tom Brady Lost Several Times... Just like Lebron
@@chasejordan8065 100% agree. Brady and Lebron are just the stat kings.
Agreed, best quarterback of all time, Joe Montana. Simply amazing.
Joe Is the Greatest QB of all time... He never lost .. Just Like Jordan... Tom Brady Lost Several Times... Just like Lebron
@@chasejordan8065That argument makes no sense. So losing 49-3 in 1986 against the giants is better than losing 17-14 to the giants in the Super Bowl. If Joe did make it to 10 then he would without a doubt lost 1. And plus joe player in an era when the NFc was 100% superior to the afc. If you wanna go by the numbers . Joe 4-0
Brady 7-3
7-3 = 4, so he still has the same W/L ratio and he went to SIX more SB’s. Your either a 49er fan or an “old boomer” football fan
Joe will always be king
BRADY IS KING NOW
Brady is the G.O.A.T!
Brady wasn't mobile and throw on the run like montana end of story!!!
It is close
1a) Brady 1b) Montana
TO RETARDED PEOPLE
The GOAT. Played in an era where QB's got BEAT UP, literally. Undefeated in the Super Bowl - never even threw a single pick six in the big game. People don't understand, Montana's domination at that time was unparalleled in SPORTS. It wasn't until Jordan in the 90s that anyone in sports could compare or exceed his level of domination during championship games. Tom Brady has had a greater OVERALL career with the stats and the amount of rings he has - BUT if my life were on the line and I HAD to pick ANY QB to win ONE big game for me - I'm going with Joe - he never lost. Where as TB12 has numerous SB losses. And playing in THIS era under THESE rules - Joe would have killed it even more so than he did. Dang - When you come to think of it, that Giants defense ended a bunch of great QB's games/seasons/careers. It's nice to see NFL Films is now murdering birthday cake candles instead of actual birthday cakes.
The best QB ever.
That would be BRADY!
B Real the BEST Choke Artist in Super Bowl history... agreed 3x 😂😂😂🧠💥🤯👍👍
B Real why don't you get real
no brady
Got that he is best QB all time
This puts a smile on my face, go 9ers!
Honorable Mention: The MNF Game in '94 as a Chief Vs Denver in a Shootout against Elway with Joe making the Last Second Comeback to win the Game by Far One of the Most if Not THE Most Crazy Incredible Game in MNF History!!!!
One of the best ever. I remember that game and I was jumping when Montana completed that game winning drive.
That game was amazing. The two best comeback artists of all time willing their team to score time and time again in the last 8 min. That's still the most exciting game I've ever watched.
I was at that game. My team lost but that was the best game i have ever been too.
Joe with KC against the Niners.
When he played against the 9ers as a chiefs I rooted for him even tho I'm 9er faithful. I was so excited he beat young and the 9ers.
only started 11 seasons for the 9ers. 1 play away from 5 lombardies in 11 years - . . crazy.
what play was that? even if they beat NYG they might have lost to Buf you never know
Alex,
The 49ers and Joe would have blown away the Bills. The Giants won because Bill Parcell pulled off a trick play and Bill Bellicheat was their defensive coordinator. I could be biased but I think the Giants defense seems to know what the 49ers were doing. But the 49ers should have won.
Would have been 5 in 10 years. It's really to Bad that he was playing in the middle of that with a back injury that was supposed end his career and no line. It's really scary to think what he would do to the NFL today.
LT did that to a lot of people
Not to mention he took the Chiefs to the AFC championship
Joe Montana time with Kansas confirmed to me that joe was and still is the greatest quarterback ever.
JOE MONTANA NEVER EVER PLAYED FOR THE university of kansas!!!!!!!!! YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT JOE MONTANA & PRO FOOTBALL HISTORY!!!! YOU RAIDERS,BRONCOS & PATRIOTS FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Negative Tom definitely snatched that top spot no denying that
@@robertsettle2590 no but he played for the Kansas city chief's lol 🤡
Brady
Bet you don’t say that now lol
Being a Packer fan, I HATE the 49ers' guts, but i grew up in the 80s and seen joe play, hes the goat.
I’m a Niners fan and my Step Dad, who got me into sports, had a best friend who was a Packers fan. So I always had this Packers v Niners rivalry in my household. It’s an odd rivalry as they were never in the same division, but it seems it really is a true rivalry. Good to see how it’s gone recently lol. But all love, hope to see them playing in the playoffs again soon.
Wow really? You SEEN him play, you idiot?
From a pure skill standpoint, he threw with the best touch and accuracy on game day of any QB that's ever lived
I got more and more convinced that Joe would have won more and more Superbowls if he hadn't been injured in that game against the Giants!
Thanks for all the childhood memories Joe. You were the coolest.
Joe Is the Greatest QB of all time... He never lost .. Just Like Jordan... Tom Brady Lost Several Times... Just like Lebron
@@chasejordan80657-3 is a little different than 4-6 my guy
Over 30 years as an NFL fan I still put Joe Cool as no. 1
Omarguevaraz well he's not. Brady is
ab2ab /Alex You can't beat Joe.
Yes you can, its called winning 5 superbowls
It's not called winning 5, the first one I give that one to Little Bradydid, second and third one the kicker thank u Vinateri, the fourth one. Thanks Seattle coach, and the last one for the bad management of the clock by Atlanta..
Take note of those factors and It would have been the same result and the 2 losses, if not ask the Giants for kicking his ass twice in the Superbowl.
Sounds petty? Hmm!!
If you follow your history of the NFL there was a great Qb, named Otto Grahan wich is in the Hall of Famer, He led the Browns to 10 championship games in the 10 seasons he played for them
With Graham as their quarterback, the Browns won four championships in the AAFC and three NFL titles. He was MVP of the AAFC three times.
And this part of your comment
"make an ass out of yourself trying to literally discredit every Brady SB win" it goes both ways, dont try to ignore those facts.
Good day
Thanks you for your comment...
I was 8 years old in 1989 and the first game I watched was him winning his 3rd super bowl. I was a big Montana fan after that. The best QB I’ve ever seen. Maybe some are/were better, but he’ll always be the best to me!
Montana never threw an interception in the Super Bowl. I know this is not a Team thing but look at the QBs he beat Elway, Marino, Boomer Esiason, & Kenny Anderson. Two of these are arguably the greatest QB's. These are the QBs that Brady has beaten, Jake Delhomme, Matt Ryan, Donovan McNabb, Patrick Mahomes, Kurt Warner, Jared Goff, & Russell Wilson. He lost to Eli Manning twice and Nick Foles. I think Brady had 3 last minute/second wins. One was an INT by Malcolm Butler and Adam Vinatieri had 2 game winning kicks in the SB. Montana didn't need an INT or a game winning kick to win. Joe was just perfect when it came to crunch time. That's why his nickname is Joe Cool.
Big Redskins fan here. But, I have always respected Joe Cool. I remember seeing highlights of the 1983 NFC Title game where we had a 21-0 lead over SF going into the 4th quarter but we learned not to ever count Joe Montana out. He nearly brought you guys back to win the game. Hadn't it been for two controversial calls in the last minute of the game, it might have been 49ers vs. Raiders at SB18. Probably would have made for a better game than we gave the Raiders. Joe Montana is the greatest QB to ever play the game. Period.
I remember that game vividly. I think they called a controversial pass interference penalty on Ronnie Lott that sealed the deal for the Redskins. Oh, I remember that game. It still hurts, OUCH!
Happy birthday Joe! THE man!
If somebody hit Brady like that, he'd be banned. Joe Montana is the greatest!
Would be a penalty for sure.
When Brady gets knocked around/sacked... He gets flustered. That's how the Giants beat NE twice in the SB.
TO RETARDED PEOPLE
The greatest Qb ever
@@ricardoborri5588 IS TOM BRADY!
Montana & Rice were the perfect duo! Joe got the ball where it needed to be and Jerry could get there. It was magic!
Joe cool #1
Not anymore.
Tom Brady
Hands down, the GOAT ! Never cheated - never lost a Super Bowl
49ers and the silicone?
Joe Montana, will ALWAYS be the GREATEST OF ALL TIME !!! PERIOD, so deal with it!
@@joerodriguez1320 I'll take 6-3 over 4-0, thank you very much. Making the Super Bowl 4 out of 12 times is somehow better than making it 9 out of 18 times? It just doesn't compute. And I don't recall Brady ever getting benched in a playoff game.
You must like cheaters
@@joerodriguez1320 Montana also cheated. The silicone?
Man, my grandpa was his quarterback coach at Notre Dame. Ron Toman. I've heard a lot of great stories. Very thankful
Are there any sweeter three words in the English language than “Montana to Rice”?
William Henderson "Chicken and rice" is kind of good too. Lol
Young to Rice is sweet as well seeing as how Young threw more TDs to Rice Than Montana.
Tom Brady can make any receiver great because Brady is that GREAT.
@@JohnnyBGood11
Brady is great and also a known fuc...ing cheater. We know the main culprit behind all the NE Cheatriots cheating is Belicheat, Brady, the crybaby, is still part of the cheating scheme. You can't compare a cheater to the GOAT quarterback.
Montana to Clark "The Catch", Montana to Salomon, Montana to Taylor, Montana to Francis
His Monday night game against Elway should’ve made the cut!
I loved the results of that game and I was living in Denver. Never could stand John Elway.
He cut Elway into quarter that game, what more could you ask for...?
WhiteTrashSuperstar Why didn't it?!!!!))))
WhiteTrashSuperstar true
Agreed, my brother and I watched it at a TGI FRIDAYS. Wasn't too many people in there watching but we erupted when he hit Willie Davis for the touchdown. I felt very sunk when Marcus Allen fumbled and Elway scored on the QB draw forgetting the Chiefs had Montana with plenty of seconds on the clock. Great game. Broke the Chiefs losing streak at Mile High stadium.
As a life long NYG fan, I have so much respect for Joe Montana. We had epic battles with the Niners then. Ronnie Lott and his teammates were fierce. Rice, John Taylor, Craig, against Lawrence Taylor, Lenny Marshall, and all of their nasty friends. Earlier in the season, it was the Niners 7-3 against the Giants on a Monday night game. Giants could not score a touchdown. Nor did they in this 1990 Championship game. Five field goals won the game. 15 -13. Those were some very dominating defenses. Thanks for the great video.
Joe Montana , will Always be remembered, as The King of Clutch of The Quarterbacks , in his era , and well throughout history. True, he got injured at times, but ultimately He stills remains UNDISPUTED....................
Today's game if you breathe on the QB its a personal foul. Brady should be grateful for his longevity, the rules changed to favor QBs
Brady gets rid of the ball faster than most QBs. He rarely scrambles. I love how people complain that Prescott's line didn't protect him after giving him 5 seconds to throw when Brady finds an open receiver around 1.8 seconds. I do believe that Brady is not the best QB ever though and could not survive in any other system besides a Belicek system. If he played for a Jason Garrett team he would have been buried years ago. Montana was mobile and accurate. Brees might be the most accurate ever though and has the records to prove it. Montana played during a run-first era that trusted a great defense. I didn't like how the 49ers dumped him even if Steve Young's physical and mental skills both peaked after sitting behind Joe.
And Montana should be grateful he didnt play in the salary cap era. Mustve been nice putting together an all star team for Joe to play with.
@@thecurseofghostisland3068 that's a myth. The niners stacked for Young because he couldn't win with Joe's team. The niners payroll for Montanas last year as their starter 27 million.
Youngs team got up to 58 million.
BRADY IS THE BEST EVER. STOP LYING@@teej783
Hmmm so Tom Brady's knee got destroyed 2008 and he learns to Read Defenses fast enough to average 2-second Passes, avoids most contact, limits interceptions and redefines the QB position on levels of Skill, knowledge, leadership, comebacks and championships and Haters can't give credit when due. Your Loss
I remember all those games grown as I full blooded 10th Generation Niner fan. Joe Montana 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Guess who Tom Brady's idol is?
Joe doesn't lose Super bowls.
No...he loses Conference Chamionships
You ain't Lyin!!!!!
Eltjon Skendaj he also didn’t choke TWICE to a mediocre QB.
Eltjon Skendaj Tom Brady is nothing but a East Coast Joe Montana clone that yaw had stolen from the West coast!!!!
He just loses nfc championships and divisional round games first.
Thanks Joe for all the great memories.
Joe was a little guy weight wise, but had the most heart I think I ever saw of a QB.
Joe Is the Greatest QB of all time... He never lost .. Just Like Jordan... Tom Brady Lost Several Times... Just like Lebron
And mobile. He could scramble when it was necessary but he didn't try to continuously run the ball. That's the backfields job. A QB that tries to run more than necessary ultimately winds up injured and no "running" QB has ever won a SB. Marino on the other hand was as mobile as half a brick. He couldn't scramble outta the pocket if the place was on fire.
That's why Purdy is giving us hope. He looks like Montana out there!
Montana is the GOAT! Brady not even close
@@donaldcampbell9483 lol@ yeah ok sure he does . this guy trying to compare a rook QB to Joe Montana 🤣😂
I love the recollection of Walsh saying "were done. How are we ever gonna beat Dan Marino? " so funny
Bill did that a lot. It was kind of a running joke: "Oh, these guys are too good. We don't stand a chance!"
Then the Niners would go out,, and mop the field with the other team.
Joe Is the Greatest QB of all time... He never lost .. Just Like Jordan... Tom Brady Lost Several Times... Just like Lebron
I was at the very last game Joe Montana played for the 49ers. It was the last game of the season against the Detroit Lions at Candlestick Park. SF. Joe was out the entire season from a head injury the previous season. During the first half Steve Young played throwing two TD's. It was pouring rain. In the second half, Joe walked out onto the field and the rain suddenly stopped. Montana threw two touchdown passes as if he never left the game for over a season. He is the greatest comeback quarterback in NFL history! Go Niners!
I was there too! Section 3, Row H, seats 11-12. Have those seats in my living room now. Great memories.
I realized how good Montana was after I watched a Dwight Clark interview one day. A lot of people try to say Joe was throwing that ball away, but Clark said, "No. We actually rehearsed that play in practice all the time. But every time we tried it in practice he either thew the ball too high or too low." So in other words, the only time Montana every got that play to work was when the championship was on the line and he was being chased by arguably the scariest lineman to ever live. If you think about that it better exemplifies how much ice was in his veins than John Candy.
not only was he being chased by "the scariest lineman to ever live," Dwight Clark had Everson Walls bearing down on him. Everson Walls you ask? He led the league in INTs
I've been an Eagles fan since 86 and my hope for the future is that Carson Wentz can accomplish what Montana did. That man was amazing. If Marshall didn't hit him at the end of the NFC championship game against the giants they would have won the third straight super bowl and more after that. Montana would be so far out of Tom Brady's reach nobody would be making the comparisons at all.
Jack Burton
Bills Niners would have been an awesome SP too.
Can’t complain how it turned out neither though being that it was an Instant Classic.
Jack Burton instead Brady has surpassed Montana
Funny thing happened on his way to winning 5,...it didn't happen and Marshall was the Truck that hit Montana and knocked him out of SF.
That one hit changed the course of NFL history.
Montana got hit a 100 times Brady got hit maybe once in his career if Brady got hit 2 or 3 times he wouldn't have never even had a career. Different era they used to cream the quarterbacks back then now you can hardly touch them. Come out of the coma boy's.
I'm a raiders fan and Joe's #1 to me
He used to be #1 until Tom Brady won SB #5.
+Wayne Yira Taylor tom won that? I'm sorry he sucked it up for almost three quarters and then the Falcons had a complete meltdown. That patriots defense won that.
Brady the goat
Yeah raider fan too, I remember thinking he might have signed with the raiders after San Francisco let him go; since Craig, Lott, and Rathman also went to the raiders after 1990 season. Its too bad he didn't he would have transformed the raiders into a super bowl winner.
I'm raider fan as well joe number 1
As a Bears fan I hated the guy. But in retrospect, he was the GOAT. Best I ever saw. Respect.
How is the 1994 MNF game against th3 broncos not on this list. it was a top 3 mnf game of all time
Cause NYG fans made this list so they had NYG NFC Championship loss not Chi win or comeback like the Den game.
I agree, I thought it would make the list. My favorite MNF game of all time.
Edward Brito that's what I thinking 😂😂😂
That game was a classic
I was 13 at the time and stayed up past my bed time to watch that game. Watched some on tv, listened to the end on radio. Still the best MNF game I've ever witnessed. The full game used to be on RUclips.
I don't know of Joe cool is the best ever, but he is my favourite QB of all-time without a doubt. Always in control, and while not being the best athlete on the field, his athleticism has always been understated and underrated. He was great moving away from pressure, scrambling and throwing on the run. Football in that era was also nasty, with great and juiced up players that meant to hurt you every single play. Concussions were badges of honor, and bounties were also part of the culture. Montana was a tough player, as his system would expose him to crazy hits often, specially against teams that had great pass rushers and could keep the Rice, Taylor and Jones trio in check.
Taylor and Jones to me are hall of fame players, although I don't know if they have the numbers. But if it was up to me, Jones would be in for sure. And Rathman was an amazing west-coast fullback. But it all started and revolved around #16.
Great call. I assume you're talking about Brent Jones? What a underrated player. He was a 3x champ, 4x Pro Bowler, and 3x All Pro. He would've been targeted more in his career except well, he had the misfortune of having a guy named Jerry Rice as a teammate! Always loved Brent Jones!
Carlos all you have to do is look at the era when Joe played QB's got beat up than Joe got the hell beat many times and got up to win many games. Not saying Brady couldn't do that now but we'll never know. I still cringe when i watch some of those hits he took cause Joe wasn't a very tall person and was kinda skinny.
Truly, as of April 2023, Joe Montana is the greatest quarterback to ever play the game!
Brady would not survive those defenses joe Montana faced facts! He's the Goat!
NO. BRADY IS THE GOAT. ALL SPECULATION AND STRAW MAN ARGUMENTS
That's a Dumb argument.
@Lawn Bear In that same period 70's and 80's the Raiders would have never made any Super Bowls with all the cheap shots and cheating they did....saying this and that is water cooler talk, Barkley wishes he could play in todays NBA because that game has changed too...only jealous babies talk that way
@Lawn Bear The way things are going in 25 years the NFL may not exist many parents are no longer letting kids play high school football....or it will be the NFL Flag football league.
@Lawn Bear He is crying like a BABY oh IF IF IF I had those rules I would have tossed for 6,000 yards boo hoo boo hoo Baby Montana.every era is different and the people of today don't really care for the players of yesterday they never seen played.
Best qb tO ever live
My favorite Quarterback of all time!!
My two favorite QBs are Montana and Elway. So many comebacks. Great era. Thanks for the memories.
Superbowl 24 will always be my favorite even though it was over by the 2nd quarter
Joe Is the Greatest QB of all time... He never lost .. Just Like Jordan... Tom Brady Lost Several Times... Just like Lebron
If you say Tom Brady is the best of all time I highly disagree with you Joe Montana is the true G. O. A. T.
6 superbowls end of
I would go as far as to say at least Joe doesn't have shenanigans with his wins, no spy gate no deflate gate and no headset gate! Also modern NFL has put skirts for sure on the QB and even rules favor Mr Brady so on that I'm saying Tom Brady wouldn't of had the same success in this era and hell he wouldn't of lasted 3 seasons in the 70's
dude get real
A-D Daigrepont
Also Montana wasn’t bailed out by kickers, a head coach throwing from the 1 yd line, or an incompetent coaching staff up 25, throwing the ball constantly and refusing to run the ball
@@anthow8199 yea GOAT is clearly the GOAT
People can say what they like, but for "The Catch" Joe was staring his receiver down. No way was he throwing it away. A defining moment in a hall of fame career.
Seconds before the play they show Bill Walsh telling Joe that Dwight was gonna break towards the corner of the end zone. How this play so debated?
@@dirkdigler5348 Because Dallas fans like to think the 49ers just got lucky when reality is the Cowboys got beat by greatness. No shame in that. Montana was looking for Clark during his scramble and kept his eyes on him all the way through the throw and catch. The ball was thrown where only Dwight could catch it and if not then it would be the same as a throw away.
happy birthday joe
Nobody saw it coming? I DID!
I predicted their greatness in 1979. I had been watching pro football since the mid sixties and had never seen an offense like when I watched the Bill Walsh 49ers. There were glimpses of it in the few games I watched when he coached Stanford, but by 1980 there was no team in the NFL that had what I considered an unstoppable offense. I remember being laughed at and mocked when I told everyone that the niners were going to win it all that year. After all they went undefeated in preseason and won their first 3 games. 7 straight wins. After they lost their third in a row on their way to 8 straight losses, I just told everyone, if they ever get a good defense, they were going to be unstoppable. Well a great draft, Hacksaw Reynolds and Fred Dean later. They became Legend
If your that old you weren't look in close enough. In the you'd it was evident that teams of the AFL were using some of this offense to great effect, ie. the CHIEFS, CHARGERS. Coach Walsh and other coaches have referenced them in past interviews.
Did u know that Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds came from the Rams, who has been in the NFC playoffs 8 consecutive times and now he's going to the futile Niners, who's won 10 games in the last 3 years. Little did he know, that when he was traded to the Niners, that he was going to WIN IT ALLLLLL!
What makes Joe the greatest is the fact that the defenses were much more brutal . Finally the realization that taking a quarterback out is just not good football. It’s not the sport of the game
Even with a greater understanding of how the game works I still watch Joe Montana games and just think that he had magic powers. If he would have regularly played full seasons like today's quarterbacks do oh my gosh the stats he would have put up would have been absolutely crazy. Can't wait for Brady to play Garappolo and lose because Joe would not lose to Steve Young. I love Steve, but Joe is my guy. Tell me a quarterback today who's done what Joe has done and never lost his cool. I'd be surprised if you could find five guys in all of sports who were like Joe Montana.
I loved watching him play. He always seemed to find a way to win.

When people ask me who I think was the greatest quarterback of all time I still say Joe Montana! He was the go to guy for the win. Always Under pressure, always scrambling, always making great plays, if he sat in the pocket the way I won't name his name sits in the pocket for 10 seconds forget it he would have broken every record too!!!! Mr. Clutch!!!
28-3
Montana never threw an interception in the Super Bowl. I know this is not a Team thing but look at the QBs he beat Elway, Marino, Boomer Esiason, & Kenny Anderson. Two of these are arguably the greatest QB's. These are the QBs that Brady has beaten, Jake Delhomme, Matt Ryan, Donovan McNabb, Patrick Mahomes, Kurt Warner, Jared Goff, & Russell Wilson. He lost to Eli Manning twice and Nick Foles. I think Brady had 3 last minute/second wins. One was an INT by Malcolm Butler and Adam Vinatieri had 2 game winning kicks in the SB. Montana didn't need an INT or a game winning kick to win. Joe was just perfect when it came to crunch time. That's why his nickname is Joe Cool.
I miss watching this no. 16 running, escaping for touchdown after touchdown
Never forget the “Cotton Bowl” miracle comeback. Notre Dame v. Houston...

My favorite Notre Dame player, my favorite Chiefs player, my favorite 49ers player...
My favorite player period. What separates him from Brady is that he didn't throw interceptions in a Super Bowl nor did he lose one. And he played in a time where defenses can do pretty much whatever they wanted to.
And David Carr said he's not one of his top 10 QB's because he was a system QB with Walsh??? He won a National Championship with Notre Dame... so Montana was a champion before he even entered the NFL.
J P David who?
Remember, it was called “The Catch,” not “The Pass.” RIP Dwight. The best athlete to ever come out of Charlotte.
Nobody has ever called it "the pass"" what the f_ _k are you talking about?

Ive been fortunate now to have witnessed the careers of those in the discussion; Montana, Brady, Peyton...
Jordan, Lebron, KOBE.
Gretzky, Crosby, Ovechkin..
it's just been a blessing.
'94 Broncos - KC. Montana, Elway. Shoulda been on here!
I agree! Not the 1990 Championship game against the Giants where he got injured!
@@alanespinoza6086 Yeah exactly, couldn't show him beating up on Elway twice I guess.
A little different but Joe is better than Brady. Im a 56yrs Korean but I was there that time.... haha.

I'm from Green Bay, Joe Montana was my hero, I tried to be him, walk like him act like him he was the greatest. So calm with everything on the line is what I remember most. He would get crushed, pounded and still get up. In today's NFL you would be disqualified, fined, kicked out of the game with the hits on him, but they wouldn't even throw a flag back then. Mr Clutch will still always be my favorite Quarter Back in History!
From De Pere, and I was the exact same way. I was Montana throwing, Rice and Taylor receiving in backyard ball. You said it best!
The fact you can go through FOUR ENTIRE SUPER BOWLS without throwing a single interception is insane, imagine if he didn’t get a career destroying injury before the 1991 season
He would've beaten brady's record.

It wasn't career destroying, he lead the Chiefs to the AFC championship game
@@PurpleHaze4me only if he played this era. No way with the no holds barred rules of yesteryears.
He played football when it was real football.

Tom Brady would have died if he got hit as hard as Joe did...Now he's bitching if they even touch him with a finger.

Joe only lost playoff games when he got knocked unconscious
When the opposing team were successful in their plans to intentionally take him out of a game.
At least the Bear's fans will cop to it, but the NYG fans deny that Parcells' and his players ever tried to injure Montana.

And you would only make it to 4 SuperBowls...if it you are good with that....so am I!
William Gaudreau You know what I'm good with? Montana 4-0 11 TD's 0 ints perfection and he did it when the NFL was real!!!
You know what else I'm good with? I'm good with the fact that Montana didn't get a 2nd chance off a stupid Tuck Rule.
I'm good with the fact that Montana didn't take a superior 18-0 team to the Super Bowl and CHOKE.
I'm good with the fact that Montana didn't take a superior 13-3 team to the SB and CHOKE again against the same team.
I'm good with the fact that Montana didn't win a SB because of the worst play call in NFL History (Seattle)
I'm good with the fact that Montana didn't win a SB because a team (Atlanta) choked their brains out by not running the ball and having bad clock management.
I'm good with Montana not being suspended for 4 games for cheating.
I'm good with Montana not losing to a backup QB in a SB. Yeah I'm good with all that!
I was at #2. I was sitting in the endzone where he was sacked for the safety. And the funny thing is that game started off with a 68 yard Montana to Rice bomb which was one of the most majestic things I've ever seen but after that the Eagles pounded him. And the score was only 12-10 Eagles at the half. And credit the 49ers defense to hold the Eagles to field goals in the 2nd half until they finally scored a TD to go up 28-17 then from then on out it was all Montana. They ended up winning by 10. It was probably the greatest football game I ever saw live.
