I will never by this as a factor to support that Montana was better. Sure, it was harder for Joe to complete a pass because the opponents cornerbacks could hang on Joes receivers. So what, Joes cornerbacks did the same thing to the opposing receivers making it impossible for them to complete passes.For one, today defenders can't breathe on a receiver without a penalty so getting yards
today is lot easier that when Montana played.

Same as Bradys receivers cant be touched. Well, the same goes for TBs opposition. How is this an advantage for Joe when both Quarterbacks they faced head to head played under the exact same conditions?
The salary cap is real as it gave certain teams a huge advantage who were lucky enough to stockpile players.. The 49ers of that generation had a stocked team of all pros and hall of famers that they were able to keep together. The oposing teams of that time were not able to take advantage of it.
