Or Roger Craig for the first. Which is possibly more important because at wr they had Dwight Clark. But at rb they had Ricky Patton. Here is a link for those who don't remember him.

Patton had bounced around and would last another year or so. By 84 the team was being transformed.
It really doesn't matter, but I still mark Joe as the greatest. Unlike Brady he didn't have to have the games given to him by rule changes and refereeing. I love Steve but definitely a step below Joe.
100% agree English. People should really do a little research before posting. The offensive players Montana had in 81 and 84 weren't that good at all compared to what some of the greatest quarterbacks had at their disposal. (Craig was great, also my favorite player of all time) Also, the skilled players were nothing in Montanas first 2 SBs, absolutely nothing compared to what Steve Young had for his whole career
Not True. The first superbowl, I agree. The 2nd in 84 had Dwight Clark and Freddie Solomon, Wendell Tyler and Roger Craig which were better than anything Steve had until Waters came on board. Steve couldn't win anything with Dexter Carter or Kirby. Waters and Hearst were what made the team good enough to win. Once Owens became Owens, Steve had a better WR core, but up until that point... I'd say Montana had an equal or better core to throw to.
