The discussion started with Dan being remembered for no SBs - talent on both sides of the ball plays a large factor in that.That wasn't the discussion, the discussion was clearly directed at the WR talent that both QB's had.
Bottom line.
Montana was great before the cavalry came.
No doubt, Montana was great before Rice and Taylor and the rest of the greats on the offensive side of the ball, but those early teams that he won with had great defenses too, cant lose sight of that.
