Montana played before the salary cap and the 49ers were basically the NY Yankees of football.
Plus Eddie D, owner of the 49ers is a crook and likely greased a lot of refs back in the day.
If he tried to bribe the sitting Governor of Louisiana with $400,000 in CASH for a Riverboat Gambling license, you think he never bribed any refs?
The 49ers also had to forfeit draft picks for violating the salary cap with under the table payments to players once the cap was put into place, and haven’t won a SB in the salary cap era.
Not to mention all the stuff that isn’t talked about outside of the SF Bay Area which is where I live.
Carmen Policy, Eddie D and that entire organization were crooked back in the 80’s and 90’s.
Brady didn’t have Jerry Rice to throw to for much of his career either.
Montana was a dink and dunk QB and a product of the West Coast Offense.
