Would love for Simms to take such a fine tooth comb to Tom Brady's career, especially with the Patriots, where they basically feasted upon every defense's weak link.
I guess I'll be "that guy". Tua's, being a lefty, "blindside" is the RT. Armstead plays LT.
He was very accurate, pretty good athlete too could by time scrambling out of pocket or within. Didnāt have a rocket arm but he threw an effortless beautiful deep pass which may be surprising for ppl considering niners used west coast offense with quick short Slants. His biggest thing is he was clutch. The bigger the game, he delivered a big game winning drive or comeback win. He was called joe cool for a reason. We say Brady never seems out of a game well that was joe before Brady
Samoan sniper
A winner, small in stature, looked like a banker or accountant. He could scramble and deliver the ball accurately and with great placement. A complete field general. Watch some of his tape on YouTube, he was really good.
Accuracy, anticipation, and football IQ. Had a pretty great, all-time team around him tooā¦Jerry Rice alone made him even greater.
All of the above. Wasnāt really a āgunslingerā but hit plenty of big plays.
Some of those teams were just loaded, both offense and defense. That team that blew out Denver in the SB XXIV, 55-10, was a scoring machine.
It didn't hurt that Walsh was one of the great offensive innovators of all time. If I'm not mistaken, he was the one who originated scripting the opening plays, as a way to set up things for later in the game. Montana should have had "one for the thumb", but Seifert was a moron, and stuck with a yet to be ready Steve Young, even though Joe had returned from injury, and was ready to go.
In the super bowl.
Montana used Walsh's system to perfection. The West Coast Offense was a completely new concept at that time and Joe Montana was a perfect fit. It also helped that he had a who's who of surrounding cast members. Montana almost never got rattled and he was very smart with the ball as well as accurate. His arm strength was average but he made it work with the system he played in.
And that mattered more than the physical phenom, athletic, rocket armed, big sized qb like Elway. Elway was basically josh allen before josh allen. It wasn't until the very end of elways career that he won 2 superbowls, meanwhile Joe won 4 superbowls and all the one's he played in. That's why I'm tired of ppl saying Herbert is better than Tua. Yes he has better stats and has shown more so far and Tua needs to keep playing well this whole season. But It's the wins and being clutch in big games that matter the most. Nobody would question elway was definitely a bigger, more physically gifted qb than Montana, yet.....who was more successful? Not saying Tua would be anything like montana, but the point is Herbert could be like Elway too and Tua successful like Montana and I think you could compare the physical skills that way, yet what ultimately matters is the wins and titles
He had surprisingly good zip tho for an average arm. I was watching highlights and he launched 60 yard bombs effortlessly and some pretty darn good zip without seeming to put much into the throw. His deep passes were amazing. Perfect in stride and effortless. He dropped them in a bucket with ease when so many qbs missed deep passes but for a wc guy he threw more deep passes than ppl think and was quite a good deep passes
