How many Hall of Famers did Montana have around him, versus Brady?

Well, if we look at Montana's first two Super Bowls and only consider offensive players, it would be zero. On defense it would be Ronnie Lott (who was playing cornerback then, though he'd move to safety in the latter portions of his career.

For Montana's third and fourth Super Bowls, he had Jerry Rice on offense, which is no small thing - Rice is the best WR ever to play the game. On defense he had Lott and Charles Haley.

And it’s true. The Niners I believe did go 2-14 the year before Montana joined them.

And Roger Craig and John Taylor and Dwight Clark followed by Brent Jones and Randy Cross and in addition fo Ronnie Lott, Jack Reynolds aka The Hacksaw....

Brady had Wes Welker, Julian Edleman, Vince Wilfork, Donta Hightower, Dione Branch, Teddy Bruschi, Richard Seymour, Rodney Harrison; AND, if he wasn’t nuts, Antonio Brown, if he wasn’t a murderer, Aaron Hernandez.
