You're missing the point. Any of those offensive players were interchangeable and made better by Montana. None of them were there as long as Montana was, and he still won. Favre has had reasonable teammates - including defensively, but did not win it all though he could get to the playoffs. Even one of your examples of a teammate that propped up Montana actually caused him to miss out on a fifth (and 3rd in a row) SB.

But believe what you want to (you obviously want to believe Montana was just average). Everyone else in the NFL/Hall/reporters who would pick Joe Cool (average arm, average speed, average height, but incredible intangibles) must be wrong...
