Joe Montana vs Steve Young

[futurefields]

Between these two who would you pick as your QB?

 

[angminas]

Young. More versatile, had less to work with.

 

[KLin]

Neither one. They're both retired and too old.

 

[Slew Foot]

In madden I always pick Young as mobilty is huge.

 

[Captante]

To anyone who watched both play this isn't even a question.

 

[EliteRetard]

 

[Dr. Zaus]

Troy Aikman

As someone who grew up in the Farve, Young, and Elway era is it Montanta by a long shot?

I wouldn't say by a long shot but who else is 4-0 in Super Bowls with 3 SB MVP awards?

Check out the black ink. Young had slightly better passing stats and vastly better rushing stats with lesser teams and lesser coaching. He also had to go through the '90s Cowboys. Rings aren't nothing, but they're far more a measure of team success than individual success.

Whats the line?

Oh yes, "Lies, damn lies, and statistics".


Steve Young was a very good QB.

Montana was one of, if not the very best ever.

Big Steve Young fan. But how is this a question if it's for a game with everything on the line. You take the guy with ice in his veins, that's Montana over everyone.

 

[QueBert]

Joe had a football game on Genesis. Young wasn't even good enough for a ghetto ass 1 button Tiger hand held LCD game.

 

[11thHour]

I'd take Steve Young in the regular season, and take Joe Montana in the playoffs.

This guy. Note the intentional high arc to negate swatting it down, also note he's looking the safety off by staring at the center of the field and throwing to the right.

 

[JMapleton]

Montana. No question.

"Everybody knows the basics. Montana played in four Super Bowls, won three MVPs and threw 11 TDs with no interceptions. If the Seahawks beat the Patriots, then we’re talking about Brady’s two costly interceptions in Super Bowl XLIX."

Brady is a great QB but no one is better than Montana in the big games. The guy has the perfect brain to calculate risk/reward within the realm of his and his team's capabilities. Brady is good, Farve is a mental midget in this department.

Not to take anything away from Montana but 2 of those were blow-out games vs Denver, IIRC one was 55-10, kinda hard to throw picks when your ground game and D is dominating like that.

 

[homebrew2ny]

Its a fair question but Montana for me.
