Did a series of commercials for clothing chain Mervyn's California. In one, Montana, in his PJ's, slips on a skateboard while outside getting the newspaper, flies through the air, and lands in a baby carriage with a pacifier in his mouth.

Montana led the San Francisco 49ers to four Super Bowl victories (1982, 1985, 1989, 1990) and was named the Super Bowl's Most Valuable Player (MVP) three times. He also ranks among football's all-time leaders in passing yards (40,551) and touchdown passes (273).

Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Montana was long considered the greatest quarterback of all time. His four Super Bowl rings, three Super Bowl MVPs, the greatest/most clutch touchdown pass in conference title game history, and 40,551 passing yards form an impeccable resume.

Montana was known for his ability to calmly bring his team to victory from the brink of defeat during the final moments of the game, earning himself the nickname “Joe Cool.” Montana was raised in Monongahela, Pennsylvania, and excelled at baseball, basketball, and football in high school.

Joe Montana is worth an estimated $100 million, a net worth accumulated thanks to a stellar 15-year NFL career, a slew of endorsements and some intelligent investment moves. Montana is seen as one of the league's greatest quarterbacks, winning four Super Bowls.

Despite this, he almost single-handedly willed his team to two Super Bowl wins in those four seasons, from 1981-84. The QB position, much like the passer rating, is more than just numbers through the air. This tells you who the most efficient quarterback is in all situations, and Joe Montana was just that -- the best.

Brady also owns many more league records than Montana and won three or more Super Bowl titles in two different decades. Montana was awesome, but Brady is the undisputed GOAT.

Marino put up ridiculous statistics in a poor AFC on a team that was among the league leaders in passing but refused to run the ball. Montana put up good statistics in a very good NFC on a team that was among the league leaders in both rushing and passing. Thus: Marino was a great passer. Montana was a champion.

When Joe Montana retired, he was widely regarded as the greatest quarterback in NFL history. Montana has since been surpassed, in the opinion of most NFL observers, by Tom Brady. But Montana says neither he nor Brady is the best. Dan Marino is the best quarterback in NFL history, Montana says.
