If the definition includes sportsmanship and demeanor, joe montana all the way. If it is just a pretty face and four rings, joe montana all the way.

Do i dispise rady, all the way. Mvp should have gonebto the seattle offensive coordinator for blowing that call.

RUN THE BALL

I think people tend to forget how bad the AFC was in general during the 80s. From 1982 (when the 49ers won their The Raiders were the only AFC team that managed a win until 1997. The Broncos and Dolphins teams the 49ers faced were not terribly good teams and were blown out in laughers.

I’d argue that Brady just managed to eviscerate one of the better NFL defenses in history... Montana never had to face as dominant a D in the Super Bowl. The Bengals D was pretty good, but nowhere near as dominant.

An astute fan posting on an NFL fan page made an observation that suggests Carroll wasn't such a fool with that play call.

1. There were 109 passes thrown from the 1 yard line in the NFL this season. Yesterday was the first time one of them was intercepted.

2. Marshawn Lynch carried the ball 5 times from the 1 yard line this season. He only scored once.

Those interesting little tidbits put the play calling in a different perspective. I still would have handed the ball to Lynch. As John Madden used to tell his players: if you can't get one yard with the game on the line, then you're not a championship team.
