Very few seem inclined to even mention Montana anymore, though I agree that he's the next man up.

That would be a shame. Montana was ****ing
good.

Guys like Rodgers or Brees occasionally having better years than Brady didn't make them better QBs. He was absolutely the best at his position for a decade and deserves all the credit he gets for that.

I'll admit, I'm guilty of not giving Brady the credit due for making the correct decision and making the easy throw. I've watched dumb**** QBs (most were more talented than Brady) shit the bed and do dumb stuff to give Mahomes the opportunity to win and think to myself, "Oh. That's what the Cheatriots felt like."
I always chalked it up to coaching, but a lot of it was on Brady's decision making which at the time I didn't give him credit for.
KCC is right though. If you dig into the situational stuff, what Mahomes has done is consistently more impressive than what Brady had to do.
