    My favorite Jerry Rice moment wasn't on the field. It was on the sideline. It was his first game on the sideline after an injury that put him out for the season. At one point in the game a TV cameraman focused in Rice. Jerry was in street clothes and wearing dark sunglass with a single tear streaking down his face. He hated being out of the game so much.

    Aikman wasn't lying. The controversy at QB had more to do with George Seifert after he took over for Bill Walsh. He shut down any chance Joe could play after coming back from injury. Joe just asked for a chance to compete. The 49ers owner DeBartolo stepped in and told Seifert to let them compete. Joe thanked DeBartolo, but walked. This was about as bad as when the Cowboys Jimmy Johnson left and Barry Switzer came in. Both Seifert and Switzer took over teams loaded with talent and won Super Bowls. Both would fail miserably later. I believe if Joe stayed he would have delivered another ring or two. He wasn't that much older than Young. He took the Chiefs to the AFC Championship and beat the 49ers in the regular season.

      I agree , and what bothers me most is whenever the media talks about those great niners teams they mention Montana and Young almost equally as if their accomplishments and super bowls were the same. Joe won 4 S.B. Young 1and if not for the Craig fumble they probably would have 3 peat. JOE was a legend and this is coming from a Giants fan.

    Joe was in the NFL a long time. He understood the business. I think what upset him was the way in which the 49’ers handled it. He meant so much to the franchise and yet they tossed him out like trash. The dignified thing to would have been to trade him and let him compete for a job with another team. Sitting him on the bench and not allowing him a chance to compete for the job was a trash move. Starting him the last game of the season just to give potential trading partners a look at him was trash too. Only letting him on the field for the sole purpose of creating trade interest is a pretty degrading way to get rid of a legend imo.

      @@eazye519 Is there a metric you use to define that, or do you just put a box around his accomplishments and call those "the best"? Kareem has more MVPs, Bill Russell has more rings, LeBron has points and minutes and a bunch of other stuff that comes from consistency and longevity.
      Jordan has six rings, six Finals MVPs, five MVPs, RoTY, DPoY, 14 All-Star Appearances, 10 Scoring Titles.
      That's unbelievable. So usually the closest thing I get to a metric argument is "Perfect Championship Record + MVP of every Finals he was in + Scoring titles + MVPs, DPoY At Least Once"
      It just seems to be constructed so that even if one plank falls - even if someone were to go to eight straight Finals and win seven of those, losing one instantly disqualifies them, as does not being the primary scorer.
      In contrast, you look at Wayne Gretzky who only has four rings but who presently holds over 61 NHL records and has more assists than the next leading scorer in history has points.
      Brady you point to the rings. Gretzky you point to the records. Jordan as I said though, it seems you need to build a case for.

      I bet interviewing is quite a bit easier to do - because you can prepare for it. You can prepare to call a game to a certain extent, but the majority of what you do is reactionary rather than prepared. It's that way in an interview to an extent, but far more reactionary in a live sporting event - especially when you aren't involved in the sporting event. When you're an interviewer, you have control in that interview, so that makes it easier as well.

    I think Joe didn’t lose his job because of injury, I think he lost his job to Steve because of age. Back then quarterbacks were hit hard and that takes a toll on a person’s body. Going with Steve once he was ready allowed the 49ers to win another championship and be one of the top teams throughout the 90s. Even Steve Young had to hang it up because of the concussions. The 49ers moved on from a lot of their great players because of age…they did the same thing to Lott, Craig, and Jerry.

    @joem49er 4 місяці тому +7

    For whatever it’s worth - Joe Montana played in a different era. An era where defensive players could REALLY hit QBs much harder. Go back and look at the hit that Joe took from Jim Burt (1986 playoffs). Or the hit that Joe took from Leonard Marshall (1990 playoffs). “Technically”, those were all considered legal hits… But can you imagine what would happen if certain “marquee QBs” took THOSE same kinds of hits in today’s NFL? Heck, sometimes it seems as though if you simply breathe on a QB the wrong way - it’s an automatic 15 yard penalty! Yes, I realize that they’re trying to make the game safer. Especially, for “marquee QBs” (because they draw TV ratings). Having said all that - had Joe not taken some of those big hits (which were allowed back then), perhaps he could’ve played a bit longer. Yes, the Dallas Cowboys had a GREAT team back in the 1990s. However, (IMO) had Joe played in that 1992 NFC Championship game (in San Francisco), my gut tells me that the 49ers (probably) would’ve won that game and then beaten Buffalo in the Super Bowl. And that 1994 San Francisco 49ers team? Please. That team’s roster was so loaded (especially on defense) that Joe probably could’ve won that year’s Super Bowl VERY easily… Yes, Tom Brady’s resume makes him the GOAT. Absolutely no question about it. However, if I had to pick one QB “in his prime” to win one BIG game (with big money on the line) I’m taking Joe Montana.

      No MVPs though…joe was already a HOF, but rice helped catapult him into the goat category. And yes, Jerry never had much of a personality lol

    No Montana by far should have had that job and everybody knows it. Okay, that's the difference between the 40 nineers. Probably having seven super bubbles and stuck at five

    If Montana had stayed healthy Niners would have won at least 2-3 more SB's...Steve young was great but he performed very mediocre in some of the big Playoff games.

    Moss, TO, & Megatron are better than Rice, the guy that gets carried by HOF Quarterbacks 🤷‍♀️
