re: Joe Montana: Dan Marino was better than me, he’s the best of all-time

Now quarterbacks are the most protected they ever have been, and Montana can't help but wonder how dominant the best QB ever would be in this era.
I remember that hit on Brees which was a normal sack (Niners?) And he cried and got the penalty called. Jesus, these guys wouldn't have survived in the 80s. They just want to rack up yards, 7 on 7 frat league football.
Yep...Niners.
Couldn't get to the statue Marino, his release was insanely quick. He processed football, kept it simple...found the open man, quicker than anyone.

I’m just glad he didn’t say Elway. Marino was the best pure passer, but I’d still take Montana over Marino. And I hate the 49ers.

This shite is overrated.
The QB's of today are not pussies, and the rules only help so much. The primary reason why teams put up much better numbers today is because of coaching. Offensive coaches have had 30-50 years to sit in meetings and think shite up since the days of Bradshaw, Montana, Marino, etc. The best college teams were running the damn wishbone in the '70s. I can remember plain as day seeing Michael Irvin in a three point stance for Miami in 1987.
Offense has come a long, long way at all levels since the days of these QB's. Take Reid and Mahomes back to 1980 with a team with some decent skill and defenses would be as wide-eyed as someone from that era looking at a smartphone.
