Bradshaw was muscular, big & strong in relation to most past or current QBs. Also a superior athlete, much better than Manning. I watched many of their games during the 70s.
Wrong on Montana. His most famous play against Dallas was typical, largely due to his ability to get out of the pocket to buy time. It couldn't be more obvious, or the fact that the big gork Manning could never have done it.
I don't think you understand the west coast offense-Montana's successor Steve Young ran all the time within that framework. 3 step drops are only part of it.
I don't think you understand the west coas offense as well. The game winning play to Clark in the right corner of the end zone was a busted play that Montan ad libbed. It wasn't because of great athletic ability, but rather great instincts. The same great instincts he showed in the Cotton bowl that got him drafted in the first place. After the primary is checked off, in the WC offense, the QB needs to read the defense and check for secondary receivers or make the pass to the outlet receiver, if that is all covered, then the QB has the option to scrambel out of the pocket to pick up yards. Montana was no Steve Young. He was agile enough, but SMART as hell as to make the system work.
Your assertion that Payton's pitiful physique makes him a loser is weak as well. Payton does not play well against teams that run the 3-4 defense. Particularly those that run a zone blitzing schemes. He can't make the proper reads because he doesn't know where the pressure is coming from. A defensive end with his hands on the ground can drop back in coverage and the d coordinator can send pressure from the edge (LBs), from the corners (in a corner blitz where the OLBs drop into coverage) or with the 2 MLBs and a safety over the top. The reason the Dolts had an easier chance this year is they only played one team in the post season that ran a 3-4, and that was the Pats who fell apart in the fourth. When playing a 4-3, you depend upon your downlineman to produce pressure, and it is harder to hide blitz packages.
Don't talk football if you don't know football. Who cares how Brady looks, he won three SBs, made two kids out of wedlock and has the body of a 18 year old who barely lifts.
I have every game of the 1974-1975, 1978-1979 Steelers remastered onto DVD, trust me when I tell you Brad didn't have a body most getbiggers would want. He was a stud, but physically didn't look like something any of us would aspire to. He could throw the ball in the air 70+ yards coming out of LTech, and that was all that mattered.
