When Montana played the NFL was the wild wild west compared to today! Lol!😀

"You can't compare Joe Montana and Tom Brady." *compares Joe Mantana and Tom Brady*

They didn't stay on topic! The question is who is better: Tom Brady or Joe Montana, not how competitive John Elway is!

Joe Montana baby

You can't compare them.. the NFL is NOT the same NFL

Joe Montana played in an era where you could take a quarterbacks head off on every play. not to mention defensive passive interference was almost none existent

I believe Montana would’ve won more if he played in this era.

Imagine if Joe Montana's 49rs played in today's games with today's rules.

It's nice to see Romanowski is just as high as when he played lol

Roughing the passer call didn't exist in Montana era either

Two different eras! I go with Montana!

Different eras. Joe Montana didn’t stand back there in a pocket 10 yards behind a line of scrimmage and have all day to toss passes. He scrambled, threw off balance, ran the ball in, suffered multiple injuries. He came very close to six Super Bowls, the fifth time against the Giants the 49ers were on their way to scoring when he got sacked and injured and the final times with Kansas City were he played very well but had no supporting cast.

and Brady hasn't had to take the shots that Joe took due to era. those hits are illegal in the league

Back when this was filmed, it made sense that people still thought they were neck and neck. There is no way anyone can say Brady wasn't the better QB. I don't care about different eras or this or that. He's won more than anyone by far where it mattered most, and he also was in a Super Bowl for nearly half his career. It will be a long time before anyone dominates and wins like Brady did.

funny how romanowski kock shannon sharpe out of a game when they play and here they sit next to each other lol

Gotta go with my man Joe Cool on this one..JM16💯🐐

Qbs in this era wouldn't last in the 70's, 80's, and early 90's. Corners can play physical on WRs. Meaning the QB had to hold on to the ball much longer. Which results into hits and Slam. Defenses was able to knock the QB down and slam them. Rodgers concussion, P Manning neck, Brady no mobility, and Brees wouldn't be able to have a 5 second and throw offense resulting to them being injured alot. The rules benefits the qb and offenses that is why getting 5,000 yards in season is not what it use to be.

People say Brady played in a soft league .... didn’t know early 2000s the nfl was soft lmao

Joe Montana is the Greatest QB of All Time. There is no way Tom Brady could have led the 49ers to the 1981/1982 49ers Super Bowl win against the Bengals. Like Joe Montana did.

Skip: "Montana did not have to deal with Sean Lee"

For 1 game you had to win I will take # 16 in red and #1 in my heart.A very good athlete ,great footwork.He would have worked in any ''SYSTEM''.Brady would not be playing today without the cream puff rules.Montana was as calm as a ''HINDU COW''.

rn Joe Montana is still the greatest imo. He retired with 2 regular season mvps, 3 superbowl mvps, undefeated in the Superbowl (4-0) and threw 11 touchdowns throughout his superbowl run and didn't throw a single interception in the big stage, If brady wins a 5th one then I'll reconsider

Joe played in an era where there were few rules that protected QB's and where receivers could be lit up with helmets. He didn't have the height, body and durability of Brady. He also played in an era where there was no zero salary cap. So the best players migrated to the playoff teams. Which is why you almost always saw the Niners and Cowboys in the NFC title game. The teams that appeared in the playoffs back then would kick the butts of almost anyone who is playing today. There was no limit on the amount of hall of famers you could have on your team. Joe had to beat some incredible teams just to get to the NFC title game. Also, Brady's super bowl wins have all come by no more than 6 points. I think the fact that Joe has two where he totally destroyed the opposition has to count for something.

I will take Montana! Brady is outstanding but he didnot have Lawrence Taylor coming after him either!

I’ll take Montana over anybody, then Brady. You can have anybody else including Elway.

Montana's era was so much more difficult for QBs and that is why Montana is the greatest and never threw an interception in the Superbowls.

4-0 v 5-3. I like going 8 times, but undefeated is undefeated.

Because of the QB rule changes and official protection of the QB during the Brady era, I'd have to say Montana. It seems like there was always a rule change when the Patriots didn't make the SB or Brady got hurt:) How good would Montana had been if he had Brady rules? The 1st 3 Patriots SB wins were because of the defense and they were during the time that Belichick spied on the other team. The last 2 wins were because the opponent/coaches faded down the stretch. If the Patriots won, there was always that "one" play. So you could say the opponents lost their SB more than the Patriots won. When the Niners won, there was no doubt. The coaches kinda wash one another out. But Montana did great under more than 1 coach. And Montana was more athletic. So Montana is my choice.

Brady combines great regular season stats with great playoff performances that's why he's the goat

Not much of a debate! Joe vs Tom: Regular Season Numbers: Games Played: Brady +77. Wins: Brady +90. Comp%: Brady +0.8. Yards: Brady +29,963 TD: Brady +244 (SMH) Int: Montana 32 fewer. Joe vs Tom: Post Season. GS: Joe 23/Tom 40. Record: Joe 16-7/Tom 30-10 (WOW) Comp%: Joe 63.2/Tom 63.25 Yards: Joe 5,772/Tom 11,179 TD/INT: Joe 45/21 Tom 73/34 Joe vs Tom Achievement: Joe Montana 4 Time SB Champ (4-0). 3 Time SB MVP 3 First Team All Pro 2 Second Team All Pro 8 Pro Bowls 2 NFL MVP's 1 NFL Offensive Player of the Year 2 Time AP Athlete of the Year 2 Time NFL Passing Leader 2 Time NFL TD Leader 1 NFL Comeback Player of the Year Tom Brady 6 Time SB Champ (6-3). 4 Time SB MVP 3 First Team All Pro 2 Second Team All Pro 14 Pro Bowls 3 NFL MVP's 2 NFL Offensive Player of the Year 1 Time AP Athlete of the Year 3 Time NFL Passing Leader 4 Time NFL TD Leader 1 NFL Comeback Player of the year If one is honest with oneself. They will realize that there is really no debate. You will not find one Montana fan displaying the actual numbers. It's not that close. The Montana supporter (in this debate) is left with intangible qualities which is left to what if's, conjectures and opinions. We can't qualify those attributes. They desperately try to isolate Montana SB performance and record over brady's. Yes. He was a better performer in the SB. But you must take the entire career of a QB. Not pick and choose what parts fit our argument. That is not fair. Be honest. The history and present is backed by the numbers. Compare the resumes. Oh. And Brady is not done! Argument? Is there really an argument on who the G.O.AT QB is? I say no (emphatically).

And this is how Club Shay Shay was brought to Internet and national media attention

Brady and Montana are both QB legends. When determining who's the best QB there are so many variables to consider. #1supporting cast who had more talent around them? I'd give the edge to Montana, he played on some hall of fame stacked teams both sides of the ball. #2 salary cap era, there was no salary cap when Montana played. #3 coaching both players had great coaches, that's a wash. I think Brady's the goat, but just to put him in conversation with Montana is an honor in itself.

If a Super Bowl win is a Gold medal, then a Super Bowl Loss would be the Silver medal, and Brady has 5 Gold medals and 3 Silver medals compared to Montana's 4 Gold medals. Brady has 508 TD passes, and counting, to Montana's 273.

4-0 vs 4-2 JM16 All Day

If you never saw Montana play in real time how can you say for sure Brady is the goat . 4-0 in Super Bowl games is impressive

Bill Romanowski is a hero and a great role model. 🐐

If the 49ers hadn't brought in a incumbent(Steve Young) to play behind Montana in case he got hurt which he did in 1990 NFC championship game against the eventual super bowl winner N.Y.Giants, then we might be talking about 5 rings for Montana which 49ers won again in 94 with Steve Young, but Montana had already retired in 93.

best linebacker since Joe Montainia

Joe is the greatest. 4 wins, 11 TD's, 0 Interceptions. Nuff said. Also Could Tom do the same in 1980's football? I think not.

Shannon sharpe is only 4 years older than Me. I never knew Unc and Club Shay Shay popping off in the 90s Nice. 👍👍

"Hey Crewe! I'll see you on the field!"

Can’t compare. Softer game these days..

it is so easy for offense it is sad. Ryan Tanehill is dropping 4,000 yards a season with these rule changes.

Joe Montana it ain't even close Tom Brady couldn't play in Montana's time he wouldn't last

To be fair, Montana had way more competition than Brady did. The 80s saw the Bears, Giants and Redskins all have a dynasty. Who has had a dynasty outside of the Patriots these last 20 years?

4-0 in Super Bowls! That’s the end!

For me Brady will be the most accomplished QB of all time. However you need to really think about what Montana was competing against in the 80's. You had the Landry Cowboys, Gibbs Redskins, Parcells Giants and a few years of the Ditka Bears. That 1985 Bears team was the most dominant single season team I ever watched. What other legendary teams did Brady contend with?

Montana played when a QB could get nailed. Brady. plays when you look at a QB cross eyed it’s a Personal Foul. Montana way better than Brady

Romanowski is clearly high.

It's easy. Montana was 26.3% better (QB rating) than his peers. Brady is just 19.0% better than his. And Montana played in an era where you could hit the QBs. Until 'the Brady rule,' effectively made the shots that Montana took illegal, Brady was only above average. After the 'Brady rule' is when Brady took off as he no longer had to face hard hits.

I agree with Romanowski, you cannot compare them BUT if I had to choose who to pay a ticket to watch, I'd choose Montana everyday. His graceful mobility and throwing technique is only comparable to other athletes like Federer in Tennis, Jordan in basketball and Maradona in football.

1.Brady 2.Montana 3.Manning+ Unitas, Graham, Baugh, Elway, Rodgers, Marino, Luckman, Starr, Young, Staubach, Favre, Bradshaw, Brees, Aikman...

Montana had a quick accurate release, can throw on the run, ballet like footwork & commanding in the pocket. Pundits label him as a system QB but he was surrounded by multi skilled players like RB who can catch out of the backfield. His receivers were not speedsters or height mismatches. Rice was slow & Taylor wasn’t Randy Moss. Bill says Brady is the featured weapon, but then adds Randy Moss & Gronk on the line. Both superstars with size & speed. Brady is in a system too. Receivers that block, TEs that can catch like WR & RB who can catch out of the backfield. NE has receivers pulling screens, rub routes & cross cross routes all 2 get them open. That is a system. Football is a system. It was glorious watching Joe scramble to throw or throwing a receiver open.

Really compairing the two on who can dunk. I'll always take #12 for late game drives.

NO QB in this touch football era can be considered the GOAT ever. It used to take QBs 20-25 sec to get up after every pass play. Tom cries if someone brushes him.

Difference is, Montana came from an era where quarterbacks got hit. Brady wouldn’t have lasted two weeks in the 80’s and 90’s.

I don't care a whole lot on the subject but if you gave Randy Moss to Joe Montana there is no chance at all he ever loses a Super Bowl to lame Eli Manning and the Giants. Joe had the magic throughout his career that few athletes have ever had. Jordan Gretzky Ali Pele Tiger maybe Bolt.

Also, Joe Montana didn't have the controversy that the Patriots have with cheating in deflate gate, etc. Montana was un tarnished and unflappable. Undefeated in all his Super bowls plus stiffer competition in 85 Bears, Redskins, Dallas and the Giants were all Super Bowl teams in his era.

That was a great discussion. Romanowski and Sharpe really offered insider context on those quarterbacks.

I like this guy before I even watched the video when he said "2 different eras"

Brady missed Moss about 8 times in the superbowl

No debate after the Falcons game. After this super bowl, people start to debate Brady or Jordan

Watched them both play their whole careers, Montana was the GOAT...

Brady has been honored with four Super Bowl MVP awards (Super Bowl XXXVI, XXXVIII, XLIX, and LI), the most ever by a single player, has won two league MVP awards (2007 and 2010), has been selected to 12 Pro Bowls, and has led his team to more division titles (14) than any other quarterback in NFL history. As of the end of the 2016 season, Brady is fourth all-time in career passing yards, fourth in career touchdown passes, and third in career passer rating. His career postseason record is 25-9, winning more playoff games than any other quarterback, and he has appeared in more playoff games than any player at any position. DROP THE MIC!!!!!! Ref. Wikipedia

Brady had 4 Super Bowls when this video dropped. Now he has 7. Case closed

These are the two greatest qb's I've seen play.

I remember when Bill broke Shannons arm.

"Montana could dunk a basketball...do you think brady could do that" Ended the video...clearly running out of things to discuss lmao

Terry Bradshaw greatest QB! 4 Super Bowls in 6 years That will never be done again!

Montana: 83 of 122, 1,142 yards, 11 touchdowns, 0 interceptions Brady: 108 of 158, 1,063 yards, 10 touchdowns, 3 interceptions Montana in 4 SB wins compared to Brady's Cheating Stats =)

That story about Elway selling his pool table b/c Bubby Brister beat him on it is hilarious

Tom Brady is a Hall of Famer but Joe Montana to me is the greatest quarterback in the history of the game and I got to watch Montana play and trust me he was incredible

TB12 is the GOAT no question about it

Right now (before Super Bowl LI), I would give the edge to Joe Montana, mainly because he was the main cog for a dynasty, much as Brady has been for the last 15 years. Montana also was undefeated in the Super Bowl, going 4-0, and was also unintercepted. Montana also played in a more competitive era when it was a little more difficult to qualify for the post-season, mainly due to larger divisions, though Montana played most of his career in a 4-team division, and for most of his 49er career, he had Rams teams that were annual playoff contenders, and then the Saints joined the group of contenders in 1987, making things even tougher for Montana and the 49ers, yet they usually conquered the NFC West. However, a great case can also be made for Brady as the best (I have him at #3 behind Unitas before SB LI). While Montana made it to seven conference championship games, winning four, Brady has WON seven conference championship games (in an astounding ten tries), has had a changing offense for much of his career, and has now led teams to two more Super Bowls than any other QB has since the inauguration of the Super Bowl in the 1966 season (no other QB has gotten to more than five). All that said, if Brady leads the Patriots to a win in Super Bowl LI, he would then leapfrog both Montana and Terry Bradshaw, the only other 4x Super Bowl winning QBs, with a fifth Super Bowl crown, which would probably crown him the greatest QB ever. He's already had one shot at immortality following the 2007 season, and his team fell short of completing the perfect season in Super Bowl XLII, though Brady did put his team ahead in the final three minutes. Now he has another shot at doing something nobody at his position has ever accomplished, a fifth Super Bowl title. If he gets it, he would almost certainly be acclaimed the best ever. But if he doesn't, he falls to 4-3 in the Super Bowl and joins a dubious list of great QBs who have lost three Super Bowls (Tarkenton, Elway, and Kelly).

I met Romo and Shannon at their ring ceremony party at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs and sold Romo 2 boxes of cigars...almost started a team riot...good times...I was also standing behind Mr. Bolen and Atwater when Atwater retired!

Tom Brady is the better QB. Period. Montana had one of the most stacked teams in the history of the league for all 4 of his SBs. Defense and Offense. Brady has had consistent high levels of success throughout his career with literally no namers for the majority of his career. Not even a question really.

Two more super bowl victories 3 more appearances since this. TB12 6-3 GOAT

Best 2 minute Drills? JOE MONTANA!!!!

Tom Brady,the by far greatest NFL player of all time.

Glad to see Club Shay-Shay is consistent over the years.

Tom Brady is the best combination of success and maxed out potential I've ever seen.I really don't know who the greatest QB is but Brady is about as good as we've seen or will see when you add success and talent.

i still have a bubby brister football card around here somewhere

4-0 in super bowls, 11 TD, no picks, Montana is number 1

Just settle it by saying , both Brady and Montana are among the best , and they both have contributed so much , if not all of their lives to the sport , and i appreciate both of them , and that includes alot more of the greats as well : Montana, Brady, Marino, Elway, Bradshaw, Steve Young, Theismann, Namath, Favre , Kenny Anderson, Boomer Esiason, Warren Moon, and so on . These guys were the greats

JOE MONTANA! THE GREATEST! 100% FLAWLESS!

Three players i miss joe montana,rice,Barry sanders when they retired.Three players i wont miss when they retire tom brady,peyton manning and Brett Favre.

Bill Romanowski once broke Shannon Sharpe arm in a game (2002)

Montana's better than Brady he went 4 for 4 never lost a superbowl

Joe.Montana won 4 rings in ,9 years tom Brady won 5 in ,16 years new england were spieing on opposition teams in every super bowl Montana won ,2 super bowls under 2 different head coach's. Montana is the GOAT

I love hearing old stories about the GOATS and how competitive they were!

Rules have made the league so much easier.Montana played much better in the big games.The eye test says Montana better.Brady also a great player.Look at Montana highlights and then look at Brady.Those passes Joe threw in those Super Bowls games were indefensible.

Joe Montana NEVER Lost a super bowl and threw zero interceptions in all Superbowls.

What's funny is everybody likes to talk about how Brady is a system qb and when they put a different qb in they do good as well. Montana leaves and Steve Young plays better than Montana ever did.

Do you think Tom Brady is the greatest qb ever?

You can’t compare them because it’s not even close. Tom Brady surpassed Joe Montana by a long shot

The NFL defense was harsh during Montana's time and they loved to end QBs careers. Brady would have more SB losses if he played during that era. This one is a hard one but it's tough to weigh any QBs record against Montana's perfect one.

Ask yourself...would joe montana had lost a super bowl with randy moss?

I grew up in the Montana era and am a Joe Montana fan and I HATE Brady. Brady is better

montana was a true champion a true goat that always kept to himself and not be talking smack about other player that is a true champion plus he played solid ,not a show off.
