Why Bill Walsh/Montana are better:


<p class="bbc_indent" style="margin-left:40px;">In 1977 Coach Walsh moved on to Stanford as Head Coach. After two successful seasons at Stanford, Coach Walsh took on the great challenge of turning around the San Francisco 49ers. A search for a General Manager for the 49ers proved fruitless and Coach Walsh added the title of General Manager. Coach Walsh put together a great administrative staff to assist him, including John Ralston and John McVay. Coach Walsh became the one authority figure in the organization and took great steps to correct the past disorganization and conflicts. With hard work the San Francisco 49ers won 3 Super Bowls over a ten year period. The principles and organization that Coach Bill Walsh brought to the game of football defines the modern football era.




This is when you say well the Salary Cap era.

I have no Recency Bias. I remember fully the days of Montana/Walsh. They were great, no doubt. I remember Walsh being with Cincinnati, and then moving on to beat them twice in Superbowls. Montana really only had to be super clutch in the '88 Superbowl with his late drive (He was also super clutch in the '81 NFCC Game vs Dallas with "The Catch").


Brady has been clutch in all 6 Superbowls he has played in (driving for game winning/go ahead scores very late in the 4th qtr of each one of them). After he took the lead in both games vs NYG, the Giants had just enough time left to score/win, and the Pats defense obliged them both times. The Pats defense almost gave away a 3rd Superbowl last night after Brady had led his team for go-ahead TDs.


As great as Montana was,, I think Brady is more clutch in the Superbowls.
