Exactly. And if Phil Simms was the QB on the 49ers back then, and Montana was the QB on the Giants, I'll bet nothing would have changed. Those San Francisco teams were so dominant because the identity of the quarterback was almost incidental.

Great stats for Manning.
Among QB's in the Hall, Joe Montana has the highest QB rating, 92.3. Joe Namath's was 65.5.
Super Bowls rings are remembered.

You have got to be kidding!
Joe had a way of winning. No way you can watch those SB years (especially in the playoffs) and discount the brilliance of play by Joe Cool.
Montana has four Super Bowl rings and three Super Bowl MVP trophies.

Here's an interesting bit of trivia for you: Did you know that Joe Namath is the only QB ever to be named Super Bowl MVP without throwing a touchdown pass in the game?

But those were phenomenal teams Montana played on -- on both sides of the ball. He never went to a Pro Bowl with fewer than four or five teammates in any given year, and throughout his career he always played with teammates who were among the best in recent decades (if not all time) at their respective positions -- including Jerry Rice, Dwight Clark, Ronnie Lott, Roger Craig, Randy Cross, Guy McIntyre, Fred Dean, Eric Wright, Charles Haley, and Michael Carter. The 49ers' defensive units from that era were among the best in the league, even though they were very underrated and didn't get a lot of media coverage. In 1984, for example, the team's entire secondary represented the NFC in the Pro Bowl -- the first (and only) time that has ever happened in NFL history.
Does anyone even know who played wide receiver on those Giants teams of the 1980s, or who their defensive backs were, or who carried the ball for them?

"Ben WILL NOT be wearing those ridicules gloves this weekend, thank goodness. They surely had something to do with his accuracy problems against the Jets."
Taking the gloves off against the Patriots?
LOL!

Michigan coaching stunk during the Brady years because John Cooper was unavailable....He's available now, much to your chagrin. ;o)

gee, I thought the Patriots won, with Brady lending a hand.
Didn't know he was a one man team. :P
