In 1981, they had kind of makeshift team, and basically didn't even have a running back with much ability. Their later teams were stocked with talent, that is true. Jerry Rice came on board for their last two Super Bowls with Montana. You're right that the 49ers had a first rate franchise and great coach also. It's a subjective judgment that Montana to me was definitely more of a difference maker for his teams. I'm not knocking Brady, but if we are in a discussion about who is the better quarterback, its Joe Montana in my book.
