Tom Brady won his fourth Super Bowl last night. Joe Montana won four Super Bowls, too. The script here requires that I compare the two for you. ( Terry Bradshaw also won four as a quarterback, but he couldn’t spell Super Bowl if you spotted him the S-P, and, well, a bunch of those letters ). How do Tom Brady and Joe Montana matchup? Interestingly, they are very similar beyond the initial RINGZ discussion. This was the 13th season as a starter for Tom Brady. Joe Montana had 13 seasons where he threw a significant number of passes (he threw 23 passes and started one game as a rookie and also 21 while on the bench in SF in 1992). Here’s a quick side-by-side comparison of the best statistical seasons, adjusting for league environment. We know that quarterbacks throw more passes, fewer interceptions, and complete a higher percentage now. The Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt Index puts that in a number on a scale. 100 is average. 115 is pretty good. Anything approaching 125 is MVP consideration type season, and Above 135 is all-time great season territory. All data from Pro Football Reference. They both had all-time seasons (Montana in ’89, Brady in ’07) and Montana had the third best season (1984). The top five seasons for each compare favorably statistically. It’s after that where Montana separates a bit. His worst two seasons (his first and last as a starter) rank ahead of five Brady seasons. BUT TEAMMATES Joe Montana got to play with
