Hey WTE Montana was hurt in 1992 and Young played that game
your point is well taken though. and my point is that I think Montana is the best I ever saw. It if was so easy, he would have won 7 Super Bowls. It is not easy.
IN another sport. Wayne Gretzky only won 4 Championships and is arguably the best hockey player of all time, this side of Bobby Orr.
BTW what happened to the 1987 game that they were 13-2 and lost to a sucky Minny team at home 36-24

Aided by wide receiver Anthony Carter's 10 receptions for an NFL playoff record 227 receiving yards, the Vikings upset the top seeded 49ers, who had earned the league's best record during the regular season at 13-2. After the teams traded field goals in the first quarter, quarterback Wade Wilson completed a 7-yard touchdown pass to tight end Carl Hilton. Minnesota then jumped to a 20-3 lead before halftime with Chuck Nelson's 23-yard field goal and defensive back Najee Mustafaa a.k.a. Reggie Rutland's 45-yard interception return for a touchdown. In the third period, San Francisco defensive back Jeff Fuller returned an interception 48 yard for a touchdown, but it was countered with Wilson's 5-yard touchdown pass to Hassan Jones. 49ers backup quarterback Steve Young, who replaced starter Joe Montana midway through the game, scored a rushing touchdown and threw another. But it was not enough as Nelson made 3 more field goals in the second half to put the game out of reach.
Until 2008, this was the last time the #1 seed in the NFC did not advance to the NFC Championship game.
