Some guys simply had better athletes around them than did other guys. Having said that, Joe Montana has to be the greatest quarterback ever. But Steve did some amazing things out there on his own right. Matthew Albuquerque, NM No. 2. As great as Steve Young was, Joe Montana was the greatest of all time.
Most people tend to forget the past in the excitement of the present.
In fact, I'm willing to wager that many of the people vocally anointing Steve Young as the greatest quarterback ever were saying the same thing a year ago about John Elway. Just the same, Young deserves to be remembered as an all-time great. He's one of the best. But the greatest of all time is, without a doubt, Dan Marino. He had the greatest arm, the greatest passion and the greatest statistics.
