Montana played in two laugher SBs where the opponent didn't bother to show. He played great in those 2, but it helps having Miami acting like they've never seen Roger Craig go out for passes, or Denver letting Jerry Rice run through their secondary uncovered.
He was good when he needed to be in SB16, but Cincy shot themselves in the foot in key moments. Kudos to the 49ers D for making plays when they needed as they were a huge reason they won...much like the Pats D in SB36 while Brady won MVP.
SB23 is Montana's SB shining moment and it almost didn't come to be as Cincy dropped an easy interception in the endzone that would have both kept a score off the board and ruined the "no SB interceptions" clutchness label.
When Montana wasn't making SBs, his teams were putting up 3 points in consecutive one-and-dones against the Belichick Giants D, or he was getting benched in a home playoff game as the heavy title favorite in a 3rd straight one-and-done. I'm pretty sure Montana will take 3 SB losses over those exits. Brady has never ended a season like those Montana finales.
