Montana started 16 games only twice in his career. Injuries were definitely a problem.
Steve Young was 6'2" 215. Sounds like it's similar, but if it's 10 more pounds of muscle mass, it's really not.
Green we know about, and injuries were definitely a problem. Blowing out the knee was freak, however.
Namath. Not sure how well this comparison stacks up, to be honest.
