Joe Montana: Niners should've taken Mac Jones

[Tony2046]

It has to be brutal for him with Brady reducing his career to a footnote in NFL history.

You can't reduce Montana's career to a "footnote" unless you never watched him play. Brady is the best ever but Joe Cool set the standard.

 

[Tony2046]

Phuck Joe Montana...phuck the 49ers and phuck what anybody thinks in San Franazzole

I disagree. The only thing I'm phucking, if I play my cards right, is a fine spicy and curvy Italian women this weekend.

Nope. As a matter of fact I thought Mac Jones would be a bust. Happy to be 100 percent wrong on that one to this point!

Your default is being wrong about football. Glad you recognize it.

1980-2000 it was really just Joe Montana and Michael Jordan who gave people the feeling they were extremely clutch players and unstoppable champions. Even Tom lost a couple Bowls (a bit like LeBron). Tom is more like LeBron in the impressive longevity and sheer volume of accomplishments.

Not sure about that. Lebron does not have the most titles. So how is he like Brady? Lebron is not like Brady at all in any way. Brady has laped the field. Also, the notion that going to 4 and winning 4 is better than going to 10 and winning 7 is the most absurd thing in message board history. Montana was not very unstoppable in all those years he lost before making it to the superbowl.

You didn't watch much 1980s NBA action I'm guessing.

It is funny how hind-sighted Montana’s comment is

MJ didn't break through until he could get past the Pistons and C's. But he's 6-0 once he gets into the finals and Montana was 4-0 in Superbowls. The 80's I meant more for Montana as he was basically done in the 90's.

And almost no one credits Bill with going for the score with Tom at the end of the 2001 Superbowl. That was a controversial coaching decision, as John Madden indicated at the time.

John Madden can say what he wants, but that would have been beyond moronic to run out the clock with 1:21.

If they run out the clock, then there’s a coin flip. If they win the coin flip, they get the ball in the same situation. If they lose the coin toss, the Rams get the ball and continue their track meet against that gassed defense.

Really, what the hell is the controversy here? Sorry Madden was being stupid.

The only thing that made sense would be running out the clock if they got themselves into a bad down/distance. So if they’d had an incompletion on first down, then perhaps they could have run it on second down to control the clock to their advantage and then opt to run it out if necessary. That’s pretty standard. But running the ball conservatively in “protect/kill clock” mode made zero sense.

Hey, let’s throw away this possession, so we can gst to overtime, and then hope we get a possession.

And the idea of “regrouping” is silly. It would go right to a coin flip and kickoff…not like there’s a 20 minute break. I’m sure the pressure of OT would be nothing, though the pressure of having the ball last was unbearable, per Madden’s reasoning.

The GOAT never flops. LeChoke is the undisputed king of floppage.

I dont have the figures, I just know that QB's are not playing longer than normal...except Brady. Rules are reletive. If you just took a defense today and dropped them in the 1980's they would kill players. Things have to move with the times. You didnt have 6'5 280 pound guys running 4.5 40's in the 80's.

"I dont have the figures, I just know that . . . "

I don't have objective data supporting my assertion, I just know it to be true.

Hmm.

No he was projected as the best QB at the spot he was drafted left on the board. Can you stop acting like it was some shock that Mac went to the pats? People were talking about Mac to the pats for the past 6 months.

I am not so sure of that, but I may be wrong. I think that the chatter before the draft was suggesting that the Patriots should move up to get one of the elite QBs. Most draft "gurus" projected Mac Jones to SF at 3. It was a shock, to me at least and I suspect almost everyone else, that he slid to the Patriots at 15. Fields or Lance were projected to the Patriots if they stayed at 15. I was ecstatic and shocked when Mac fell to the Patriots. As I said at the time, he was the steal of the draft. Everyone was saying the Trevor Lawrence was a generational player, but I had my doubts.

Before the draft or right after I had Wilson rate number one and Mac number two (check the history; that is what I said) among the QBs. Looks like I was way off on Wilson and right about Mac. I am not an expert; I based these evaluations on a few minutes of highlights, ha!!!

BTW, Based on 30 seconds of highlights, I saw before this season, I felt that Bryce Young of Alabama is the real "generational player". However I have not seen him play this year and have no idea how he is doing.

Doubtful anyone would be doing that if they're a Pats fan.
