TOPIC: The NFL Thread for 2009
[ron h] Saturday, September 18, 2010 6:04:40 AM 
J.D., you make me laugh bud!!  lol  Sometimes I post things just to stir things up, but this isn't one of them.  Joe Montana was a great QB, that is a fact, but the best ever??  And because John Madden says so does nothing to give credibility to it (I quit drinking his 'kool-aid' a long time ago lol).  

Montana was fortunate to have a pro-bowl offense, period.  That West Coast style that Bill Walsh brought to San Fran is what made Joe.  It was such a great system that Steve Young, a QB who couldn't cut it with the woeful Buccaneers became a pro-bowler.  Joe went to the Cheifs and fell flat on his face!

Now take Bret Favre.  As much as I hate the Packers, he's the best ever in my book.  Not only did he win there, he went to the Jets and won and now he's winning with the Vikes.  He's playing well into his 40's and is continuing to have a positive impact on his team.  Offseason theatrics aside, he's a differencemaker on the field and he's done it year in and year out regardless of the talent level he has to play with.  He's never had a Rathman, Roger Craig, Jerry Rice to play with.

Sure, Joe has all those SB rings and MVP's, but he had a hell of a cast around him.  Look and Jim Kelly, one place kicker away from being a 4 time SB winner himself (with the stats to go with it)!!  

Montana would be in my top 5, but Favre would be #1.  And let's not forget the Bradshaw's and Staubach's and Namath's and Fouts's and Kelly's and Elway's.  Montana, hands down, had the most offensive weapons of them all...except maybe Aikman.
