And what ultimately distinguishes them is that Montana rose to the occasion at the biggest moments. Brees OTOH has 3 or 4 complete yackers on his post-season resume.
There are a TON of premier statistical QBs that couldn't come through when they needed that one drive or even that one play. Montana was simply never that guy. He made the plays he had to make.
In Mahomes you have Rodgers talent with Montana's poise and processing. You have the baddest mother****er to ever do it and time will absolutely prove that.
But that doesn't do anything to diminish the greatness of Montana.
Let's not go full KCC here and start tearing down icons because we love the new hotness. Greatness is greatness and Montana is loaded with it. Our boy is simply better. And that says more about how spectacular Mahomes is than calling Montana a false idol ever will.
