The most skilled quarterback ever. I was a diehard Cowboy rider during the Montana years, he literally took our magic away for a while, but I never stopped loving the way he played. I know the world measures everything in sport by rings and trophies, but I never in my 50+ years of watching the game have seen anyone with his combination of talent, brains, drive, and well, cool. He could make the game seem easy and fun. Who else would have spotted John Candy in the crowd in the biggest moment in sport. Cool Joe Montana.

I am not at all a quarterback expert. But after watching this (and a decade's worth of live games with Montana at QB), I don't see how people questioned his arm strength. His long passes that hit his receivers almost perfectly in stride are works of art. His arm seems as powerful as most quarterbacks I've seen.

[@jasonmatthews806]

I agree. The problem starts with the scouts. They all said he had average arm strength on scouting reports and that is what always sticks but when you watch him throw, he's hitting 60 yard bombs in stride with no issues at all. If you stand him next to someone like Elway or Favre and watch him throw, he's probably not going to impress anyone the way either of them would because they are known for having cannons. I've seen interviews with receivers talking about how different it is to catch an Elway pass and how it takes getting used to because in practice you can hear the ball coming. Shannon Sharpe once said it was like trying to catch a rocket because he throws so hard. However, Montana never had to have that kind of arm strength because everything he threw depended on timing an accuracy. He could throw the ball hard enough and far enough for a receiver to catch it whether it be 10 yards or 60 yards and he could put in a spot where no one else had a chance to catch it but the receiver. There's a 6 part Documentary on Peacock called Joe Montana Cool Under Pressure that was done this year. It goes through his entire career from high school through being the number 8 QB on the list at Notre Dame up to being the man in KC. The guy was a winner at every level and he was doubted at every level too. He just had a knack for pulling out a victory from the jaws of defeat. It's a good watch.

[@yourwrong6861]

@@jasonmatthews806 the scouting reports werent wrong about his arm strength. He also tested out with average arm strength. But where the scouts got it wrong was his ability to release long throws without hesitation before receivers were open, and with pinpoint accuracy. Almost every QB can throw it 60 yards inside their mechanics. With Joe, he saw things before they happened (much like Gretzky) which allowed him to always release in perfect mechanics (which is a huge factor). He didnt need a strong arm, because he was always a half step ahead of the play, itself.

Joe had an amazing set of skills that only a rare few ever had: Amazing footwork, especially off the snap, he could escape or move the pocket and throw while on the run. Was a pocket passer but had the athleticism to improvise and make difficult throws look easy. Probably one of the most accurate passers ever, if you watch the vast majority, if not all of his deep throws, the receiver would always catch the ball in stride. They wouldn’t have to break their run, slow down, or adjust to the ball. It would literally just fall right into their arms. And he would put the right amount of touch on it, so it was easy to catch. Was a mastermind at reading defenses, you could see him go through his pre snap reads, then his progressions lightning quick.

[@RDSports5]

Excellent comment, totally agree. When people analyze a player, I think they have to look at all his attributes, and Montana was really good or great at ALL aspects of the quarterback position. If people want to argue that he's not the greatest, they can have at it because of how subjective it is, but there shouldn't be much argument in terms of Joe being one of if not the most COMPLETE quarterback of all time

​@teddyboy3120A ruptured or herniated disk is not a broken back. A cracked vertebrae is and Joe didn't have a cracked vertebrae.

Been a fan since he played at Notre Dame.

@teddyboy3120 Montana had surgery on a ruptured disk ( soft tissue ). They trimmed it and it didn't need to be fused. He was playing again 56 days later.

[@80steen44]

What many don't realize is that SF was screwed royally by the refs on two phantom PI calls vs Washington in the 83 NFC title game that negated Joe's performance. Then in the 90 NFC title game vs NYG, Joe was KOd midway through the 4th quarter with the lead. I'll always believe Joe should have won those games short of bad luck from refs and injury and at least played in 2 more SBs and I think could have been 6-0 in those games. Consider also, he through out his elbow in spring training of 91 and missed all of 91 and 92 before being traded to KC. Imagine a healthy Montana with those SF teams of the early 90s if that injury doesn't occur. It boggles the mind. He also played in the 80s, where there was no real QB protection anywhere close to the 21st century. No rule against falling on top of the QB or slinging him to the ground and seldom was head contact called, no defenseless receiver rule, no anti lunge rule, the 5 yd chuck rule existed since 78 but it was admitted by the league that it wasn't enforced heavily until 2004. I'd take Joe Montana all day and twice on Sunday over any other QB in NFL history. No one can touch him at his peak, especially considering the culture of the game he played in. The NFC defenses in the 80s were killer. Bears, Eagles, Giants. In the Super Bowl he has a ridiculous 127.8 career passer rating

Montana was great in every aspect he could extend plays,he had a great arm,and was very accurate. He was one of the more well rounded quarterbacks ever.

[@jhawkins5779]

Also, Joe & Walsh could manage the clock, back when it was a skill that's lost today!

[@vanessajazp6341]

Montana was unbelievable! It took a Tom Brady playing for 20 years to finally take his GOAT crown. Even then, watching the two of them side by side, Montana just looks better in every way. Ad of course, "The Catch" was #1!!

[@aprilligtenberg2941]

Joe Montana is fun player to watch

[@aarongarcia1101]

I used to watch my father go nuts over the Joe Montana Forty Niners, they were so fun to watch, the team was so talented and exciting to watch, it was my dads favorite thing in life!

[@BOSSNASSTY123]

Montana’s TD pass in the 93 playoffs vs Pittsburgh should have been higher. That was on 4th down. If he failed the game was over.

[@chessward4832]

I remember that well. It was “Fourth & Season.” That is why I ended up screaming, while standing on top of a (sport’s) restaurant table in front of a sea of Steeler fans. It’s a wonder I made it out of there alive! 😂

I just love Joe Montana. Best quarterback ever. Wish i could have seen him play before he retired ❤❤

[@billyblueification]

I remembered watching most of this as a kid and man, this was a different game then. Everything looked so graceful, quarterbacks like Montana playing in the pocket, not once thinking of shotgun or trick plays or constantly throwing short passes for TD's. Guys like Marino, Elway, and Kelly started that crap and it ruined the QB position because they were afraid of getting hit.

[@jmgonzales7701]

Whats wrong with throwing short passes for td?

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

[@normaspirated]

Been a SF fan since '88 when i was 7. Love Steve, and forever grateful for '94. But it hurt to see Joe Cool in Chiefs red & white.

[@jg9highlights184]

The ending of the 49ers/Bengals game in 1987 was the stupidest ending in NFL history. I don't know what the Bengals were thinking. When you're up by 6 points with 6 seconds left AND THE BALL, you take the intentional safety. You don't run a play, and then give it back to the Niners, and then leave Jerry Rice single covered

[@chrisuncleahmad789]

Yeah it was really bad but I think Pete Carroll not running was worse.

I am glad you had "The Catch" at the end to finish up. I remembered I was watch that game Live on my 13" TV, the screen was small and the sound was loudsy, but that was still one of the best game I have seen.

The GOAT. Undeniably. Thanks, Joe, for all the joy. And I’m from Texas.

[@miggygetright6344]

My goat, had the rules protected him like they protect QBs today he wouldn’t have suffered as many injuries and would’ve played longer, likely meaning having stayed in SF 🐐

[@dondol7214]

Nice compilation of Joe's highlights, of which there are hundreds. The GOAT, he could do so many things more than Brady because of his mobility.

It’s fun to have all the GOAT remarks for JM and TB here, but no one’s mind is going to change either way. The delight of this video is just watching a truly great player in some of his best moments. Great memories awoken here with two conclusions: Montana was deadly accurate in a more brutal era of football than now, and man did he throw a beautiful spiral.

[@Ianshrew]

Brilliant QB! Elegant but lethal passer of the ball.

[@qua.m4a]

What I’ve observed from just this highlight without watching a full game is that he always seem to have an idea of where he wants to go with the ball as soon as its snapped hes already about to throw (with accuracy)he also seemed to have great vision which explains why he got the ball out so quick also the accuracy is to where his receivers dont have to adjust any movement in their routes which is insane considering most QBs today are under throwing or over throwing which tells me his timing was great as well

[@d.i.g.i.t.a.l.9268]

When ND came back from a huge deficit and beat our Cougars in the 1979 Cotton Bowl, I didn't realize back then we were witnessing the future GOAT QB. Truly truly amazing.

[@chacho761]

the golden GREAT... Montana threw the ball: strong enough for to reach his destination sweet enough for to be catchable with the perfect technique for a perfect trajectory with the correct accuracy so that it reached the receiver's hands with the supreme control of the form, so that the receiver did not have to correct the trajectory. and with the brain, arm and heart in sync. That's why even the fans of the other teams enjoyed watching him play, that's why his teammates knew they trusted him blindly and that's why before his retirement they already called him: master of the game.

[@brucemarshall3446]

I'm a San Franciscan. I had lost interest in NFL by 1981. Not only did the Niners suck but the whole style of play had devolved into a glorification of hard hits and smash mouth football. Then I saw the West Coast offense in action. It renewed my love for the game and I closely followed the team for the next decade plus😍

[@johnbrownwasright]

The Golden Great. Fun video. Thanks. Shout out and RIP to Vin Scully who did the television broadcast and elegantly made the call for The Catch.
