Why isn't Bradshaw on that list? If you're going by number of Super Bowls??? He was on a team that won four... It seems like every time an argument is made about Montana winning four Superbowls, everyone forgets that it's been done. No one has done what Marino has done and for as long as he did it. No team has gone undefeated either (that's a whole other thread).
Was Montana great? Sure he was. But would we be saying he was the best had he not won any Superbowls? I don't think so. In that of itself is why Marino was the greatest...the fact that we are even arguing that he was the best, even without winning a bowl...makes him the best! Case closed
And the supporting cast issue IS a big issue. If the Niners didn't have the defense they had, Montana wouldn't of even had the chance for some of the comebacks...also, give Marino the ball on the twenty with two minutes left, Rice and Taylor as his recievers..there's NO DOUBT that he would have scored also...
I can't remember who it was (Walsh, I think) said that, "Montana was a product of a system, and Marino WAS a system". nough said
