What's equally hilarious is judging QB skill based off rings.
Except I didn't did I. Although having four rings is certainly better than 1.
My primary arguments....
11 TD's and zero interceptions in 4 super bowls
Playoff Record as Starting QB: 1981 (3-0), 1983 (1-1), 1984 (3-0), 1985 (0-1), 1986 (0-1), 1987 (0-1), 1988 (3-0), 1989 (3-0), 1990 (1-1), 1993 (2-1), 1994 (0-1)
Playoff Comebacks: 1993 (2),1988 (1),1983 (1),1981 (1)
Playoff Game-Winning Drives: 1993 (2),1988 (1),1983 (1),1981 (1)
No one can touch that.
He possessed an almost mystical calmness in the midst of chaos, especially with the game on the line in the fourth quarter. While others saw turmoil and danger after the snap, Montana saw order and opportunity. He was Joe Cool, the unflappable king of the comeback.
Take the 1989 Super Bowl against the Cincinnati Bengals. The San Francisco 49ers were down by three points with 3:20 left when Montana spotted -- no, not an open receiver -- but a personality. "There, in the stands, standing near the exit ramp," Montana said to tackle Harris Barton. "Isn't that John Candy?" According to the story, everyone in the huddle cracked up that Montana was talking about John Candy in during the most important drive of the season and everyone loosened up.... And then he led the 49ers 92 yards, throwing for the winning touchdown with 34 seconds left.
This was one of Montana's 31 fourth-quarters comeback in the NFL.
