The opposing middle linebacker didn't have an earpiece either, cancels out.

Montana didn't call his own plays. Bill Walsh was one of the early innovators of scripted plays, which is now the norm, to start games.

1st NO ONE doesn't think Joe isn't one of the best. 2nd BULLSHIT on them doing it clean. Players paid under the table, silicon on jersey's

If you want someone with a lot of rings that did it clean, look for Bart Starr

This comes off more as a salty Brady-hate post than a praise for Joe. Any fan too stubborn to see multiple sides of the debate is ignorant

I've heard that QB's hit the receiver on the numbers for a pass. Montana hit between the 8 and the 0. This Aussie boy loves 49ers and Joe.

I think Brady is definitely great, but he emulates Montana in every way. They'll both end up legends; I think Montana is still the greater.
