Tom missed the entire 2008 season. Both have played 15 years in the NFL.

Brady has won more playoff games than 25 franchises.

 

[Ring 6]

Yeah should say qualified. Can a mod fix?

 

[Kontradiction]

It's not even really a conversation anymore. Brady is the GOAT. That much is known to most fans. Hopefully it will be ended once and for all in 13 days.

Plus, you know, Brady is better.

Tom missed the entire 2008 season. Both have played 15 years in the NFL.

Joe missed almost all of 91 and 92. Got hurt in an NFC title game. The guy was no wear near As durable as Brady. Joes team also missed the playoffs in a strike shortened season one year. The longetivity is what sets them apart

Of course, longetivity counts for a large part of that debate in my opinion. Deciding factor for me

The real reason is that Montana had so many one and outs.

What? 1 or 2 more than Brady? Montana lost 3 years due to injury and a strike

Longevity aside Brady is better.

why are we arguing? both great quarterbacks. we also get youre a montana fan..notre dame ties.

we can frame this however you want. how about this:
- montana 1 and out - 36% of time (4/11)
- brady 1 and out - 14% of time (2/14)

He didn't lose a year due to a strike.

Brady has been to the playoffs 14 times. He's been one and done just twice.
Montana went to the playoffs 11 times. He was one and done 4 times.

The final tally is that Joe didn't become a starter until halfway through his second season when the 49ers weren't any good. Had a season cut short due to the strike and missed the playoffs. And missed 2 years with injuries. That's 10 years vs Brady's 15. One guy is clearly more durable than the other. Especially when you consider Joe missed other regular season games in other years

He didn't lose a year due to a strike.

Can't fault a team for not making the playoffs in a strike shortened season

You can't?
Why not they played the same game as every other season.
Everyone played the same number of games and there were actually extra playoff teams.

Not really sure. I said that Brady had more longetivity than Montana and people took that as a slight. Montana missed a lot of games with injuries. Even had to leave two title games I believe. Not arguing Montana is better when I have stated in multiple threads including this one. Then certain things were said where I had to present facts that Montanas sample size is smaller. 24 wins in 15 years as a starter vs 16 in 11 is similar. Although 24 in 15 is better. All I'm saying is that Montana could have won more if he could have stayed healthy. But he didn't. So Brady is better.
