He is a legend. Although he did have the same benefit that Andy Reid currently has and Bill Belichick recently had of having the best QB of his generation. That can turn a really good coach into a legend pretty quick.

Good point. Montana might have had a quicker release than Brady. Both could read defenses fast.

I mean I don't want to disparage Andy Reid, he had a long and relatively successful career but never won anything and now people are saying if he wins a couple more superbowls he will be in the conversation for greatest coach of all time. Funny how after 21 years of being good he suddenly jumped to elite when he had the best friggin quarterback in the world (maybe ever).

His 49er teams won with defense
Montana is all time great but his Super Bowl run was dominated by his defense
