Correct. And the opinion that I have that Montana is the goat is shared by most fans, media, analysts, and former players.
False. Haven't heard an analyst make that statement in some time. If you took a poll of fans he would never be over 50 percent which would be "most". How many former players have made this statement?
You haven't heard an analyst say that in some time? I guess you didn't watch tv the few days following last years Super Bowl. That's all that was being debated, Montana or Brady? Most of the analyst sided with Montana.

Montana happened to play on the best offense (talent wise best receiver duo ever and also phenomenal RB) and where all plays were called by the best offensive coach ever (Walsh was a genius who supposedly charted the first 20 offensive plays of the games before the games even started). Therefore Montana was totally a system QB who given his relatively modest individual stats (if I remember correctly top 20 or so in total career TD's and yards) should be lucky to even be considered as top 10 all times). By the way, we just went through that whole argument about Brady so please don't tell me you still don't get this simple concept where TEAM accomplishments do not equate to PLAYER accomplishments). By the way, didn't Steve Young pick up where Montana left it without hardly any dropoff in terms of SF winning (another proof that was all about that system and having Jerry Rice to throw the ball too).
Your statement that he's fortunate to be ranked in the top 10 QB's of all time

Actually the 49ers fell off after Montana left. They went from back to back Super Bowl championships to losing the NFC title game he got hurt in, they were leading when he left. To missing the playoffs and being beaten by Dallas until they finally got another title 5 years later. I believe San Francisco would have another title or two had Young not replaced Joe.
