Montana Magic - Part 2 of 3

Nothing but pure Joe Montana highlights. Why he isn't the undisputed greatest quarterback of all-time is a mystery to me. The list should read Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, and Joe Montana. Watch all three chapters to see his entire body of work. For the most part, the clips are in chronological order, but it's not perfect. These clips have it all: the craftiness in the pocket, the 3rd and 4th reads, the pinpoint accuracy, and the clutch plays when the game was on the line. I love Steve Young, but the niners could've squeezed another Super Bowl or two out of Joe. This video is just for fun and the footage does not belong to me, it belongs to NFL Films and Hanes.

I've noticed that Montana didn't throw a perfect spiral. The ball tended to sail into a fade instead of cutting through the air in an arc. I don't know if this is what gave him his high accuracy, but defenders were always just out of reach of his passes. His ability to throw that type of pass on the run and his calm, cold demeanor made him a frightening quarterback to play against.

@TainoMantis That's true. Bill Walsh always stressed to Joe accuracy and throwing a catch-able ball. He never stressed tight spiraling missiles. Receivers need a catch-able ball in order for the West Coast offense to produce. If a guy catches a 3 yard out route but is immediately tackled because the ball is behind him, the play is a failure. When the receiver can catch it in stride he's able to get up-field into space and rack up the "yards after catch."

Raider fan....Montana was the greatest. I don't like all this modern comparison nonsense with Brady. Give me a break! Joe called his own plays......nuff said.

1980s LA Rams vs 49ers games look really cool on film

That is not true. The rules today benefit offenses way more than the 1979 rule changes did. For example you will never see another saftey like R.Lott because the new rules prevent player from hitting Wrs while they are in the air. Which means they have a 80% like chance of making the catch since they are protected by rules that prevent them from nasty tackles that would dislodge them from the football. Wrs have no fear of going over the middle in todays NFL ERA, its too soft

danm it suks being 14 i nver saw him play my dad says no one comes close to him i think he is right

I find it amazing how every time Montana is mentioned as the best ever they bring up today's rules. The fact is the rules changes that benefited the offense happened in 1977 and 78 before Montana was drafted in 79 or started in 81.

I agree they are more heavily enforced now but fact is Montana benefited from the no touching the receiver past 5 yds and no head slap to the O lineman and O lineman being allowed to pass protect with their arms extended and hands opened as much as any QB did.
