Silly. We all love Montana - dude, Brady loves Montana lol Brady is amazing. They didn't lose that game because of him. Their defense was s**t.

Brady played very meh in his first Super Bowl appearance but people use it in GOAT conversations why? Because he drove down the field for the win when it mattered.

Last night Brady played good the whole game but then when it came time to pull off the win against one of the worst defenses he's played in the Super Bowl? He coughed the ball up.

So which is it? Is it about stats or is it about delivering in the moment? Brady fans can't have it both ways.
I agree, but in fairness to Brady, getting sacked and fumbling is a far cry from throwing an ill-advised interception.

Anyway, I agree Brady fans can't have it both ways. But why are Montana apologists able to have it both ways?

Everyone cites his impeccable Super Bowl record, but glosses over his losses earlier in the playoffs. Like, for example, three straight one-and-dones, a three-year stretch where he threw 0 TD and 4 INT. Why does Montana get credit for being perfect in the SB, but everyone glosses over him having complete duds in the playoffs? "Those games don't count, they didn't happen in the SUPER BOWL" is the most mind-numbingly stupid excuse I've ever heard in my life, and yet people reflexively regurgitate that awful argument every time this discussion comes up.

Imagine that, having terrible performances prevents a player from reaching the Super Bowl in the first place, who would've thought?!

He held onto that ball for far too long with a 2nd and 2 situation and he failed to secure the ball when the sack was coming in his face. Maybe he thought he would get tuck rule type bailout again.
The play started at 2:16 and he was sacked at 2:14. You're not even trying. You're literally just making stuff up. You're not even trying to be objective.

Yep. Never needed to cheat.

History only remembers rings.

History only remembers wins.
When it's all said and done Jimmy G will be the GOAT!

I'm not bashing Brady......but to the bolded, Joe put up 55 points on what was the number 1 defense for points and number 3 defense for yards. People just think that Denver defense was s**t. It was not.

I'm aware of Joe's accomplishments but it's easier to score points when your defense keeps getting you the ball and can actually stop the other team.

The patriots did not punt once in that game and their defense only stopped the Eagles from scoring twice...once with a lucky interception that Jeffrey pretty much handed to the DB which still required them to march 90 yards for a score.

Not to mention the 89 team was one of the best teams to ever play in the NFL in terms of talent.

If the Pats D stops the Eagles once in the 2nd half Tom Brady wins #6.

I said it once already, I'll say it again:

The Eagles defense played worse than the Patriots defense.

Patriots actually forced a punt, an interception and didn't allow a single 2-point conversion. They gave up 75 yards less than the Eagles.

The Eagles defense was having a worse game on paper... until Brady coughed the ball up. That's a fact.

Unless you're a 49ers fans, then you remember the Brady losses. But you at the same time forget the Montana losses -- those ones don't count because of selective memory.

Bradshaw is clearly one of the four best QB's to ever play the game! With Aikman right behind him!

Yes it's really not that hard. Brady's lost almost the same number (could easily be more) Montana won and Joe is undeafeted. Makes him the GOAT. I swear you must've had a lobotomy done in the past.

Nope, Brady still a cheater, his wins are *tarnished* because of that, his wins don't equal Joe Cool's.

The homerism is strong in this thread. Montana was great but he's not close to the GOAT TB12.
