Montana to Clark to beat Dallas in the NFC Championship - iconic moment
Driving 92 yards in under 3 minutes to win Super Bowl XXIII - iconic drive
Brady has won 3 Super Bowls, and had clutch drives to set up game winning FGs in two of those, but I wouldn't say that he's had any iconic moments that will live on in football lore like Joe Cool's.

Well, that was my point. Great QB's playing for the innovative coaches. In fact, the iconic moment you chose is the result of a play designed by Paul Brown and that was a staple of Walsh's West Coast Offense - the Sprint Right Option. The iconic drive was classic WCO - short quick, precision passsing. Montana worked it to perfection. W/out a
team schooled in the WCO (receivers and blockers) that drive doesnt happen.
Don't get me wrong, Joe was the maestro, but w/out Walsh, does either "The Catch" or "The Drive" happen? I think not.
