All of that is true.
But Montana was something special.
I actually thought much the same way as you in the Marino-Montana debate, but then he took a sorry ass group of players wearing the red and gold to the AFC championship game, winning in the clutch a couple of times making plays in the passing game with receivers like Willie freakin' Davis, and I realized that Montana raised the level of play around him like no other QB could.
Marino did as well, but not not nearly as much as Montana did.
