It should be called the "dumping the ball off quickly to save your behind" offense, and began the deterioration of hard-nosed football.
I take issue.
Montana was aided by no "pick rule" in the NFL during his career. SF was the pick leader, and was very sly about.
Kind of, oops, didn't see that safety or corner coming. Then boom the receiver, be he whomever, is wide open and MONTANA KNOWS IT WAS COMING.
Like Fish in a barrel! Disgusting!
