Bill Russell ain't better than Jordan or Lebron.

I definitely want to see Brady win. I love watching how nauseatingly biased and insecure 49ers fans are when they try to handwave away Brady's accomplishments to prop up Joe. It's just a game, guys ... let it go.
I'm not hand waving any of Brady's accomplishments but for people to act as if Brady would have those same accomplishments had he played when Montana played is a joke. He's a statue. Brady has had the luxury of playing during an era where all the rukes are skewed toward the offense. You can't touch the QB. Montana took some absolute beatings and was far superior to Brady athletically. Defensive backs were allowed to put their hands on receivers and make them pay for going over the middle. I promise you Julian Edelman would not have been allowed to run 40 shallow crossing routes over the middle in 1989. He would've had hisnhead taken off.
Brady is the best quarterback of the past 25 years but beyond that it's not a comparison that can be made. Today's game is nothing like it was when Montana played. Not even close.
