Who’s The GOAT?

With the Super Bowl approaching, I was thinking which Quarterback would I take to win this game? I narrowed it down to either Joe Montana or Tom Brady both great. Joe Cool was 4-0 in Super Bowls while Tom Terrific was 7-3. Who would you take & why? Let. me know, I’m curious of your pick, Two great QBs but who’s the GOAT?

Here’s some commonality of these 2 Great Quarterbacks:

  1.  Neither QB won the starting job in College until his Senior Season.
  2.  Neither QB was a legit Heisman Candidate.
  3. Neither Quarterback was an All American
  4. Neither QB was a First Round Draft Pick. Joe was a 3rd round pick & Tom a 6th
  5. Neither QB was an immediate starter -it took Joe a year & a half & Tom an injury to Bledsoe to start & lead the Pats to the Super Bowl.
  6. Both played for Hall of Fame Coaches who had systems that fit their abilities. Joe had Bill Walsh & his West Coast Offense & Tom had Bill Belichick who had his Shallow Crossing Game.
  7. Both were let go by the team that they led to Super Bowl Glory. Joe finished his career with the Chiefs & Tom finished his career with the Bucs.
  8. Both had Hall of Fame Receivers. Joe had arguably the GOAT Wide Receiver, Jerry Rice & Tom had arguably the GOAT Tight End Gronk. Tom also had the great Randy Moss.
  9. Both Quarterbacks had a great work ethic which lifted their teammates & developed a winning culture.
  10. Both Quarterbacks were come from behind specialists. No team wanted to face Montana  or Brady in the 4th Quarter.

So who’s The GOAT? I would give a very slight edge to Tom Brady because he won more Super Bowls AND he did it with TWO teams. Brady turned a very average Tampa Bay team into a Super Bowl Champion.

That’s my assessment- but The Lesson from both Quarterbacks is “Hard Work Works” – they developed themselves into the two GOATS. But who is your pick & why? Let me know your opinion with a reason. – TD
