I'm a hugh 49er/NFL fan..but especially in the 80's! And in the 80's the 49ers were definitely America's team! Montana has been considered for some time now as "the best QB in the history of the game"! Mr. Cool! Had the brains and the athleticism as well as all the 4th quarter comeback wins!
I'll have to admit though, Payton Manning is really somethin else man! Today to me, there seems to be all these guys in their sport that seem to be the best in history! Has that ever happened before? Ok you have the NFL: Payton easily!, Golf: Tiger Woods!
MLB: A-Rod and Bonds! NBA:For me Steve Nash is the greatest passing guard of all time and he just makes The Suns so much better!! Mr. MVP! And of course there's La Bron or a few years ago Air Jordan! Jordan wasn't as all around as Bird or Magic but what a scoring machine he was! And of course lets not forget TENNIS: Roger Federer!! He's easily the greatest of all time and Johnny McEnroe a close 2nd! Any replies would be cool!

Peyton Manning has the most sharply tuned eye for reading defenses at the line. His knack for calling audibles on the fly is unparalleled in today's game. He definitely goes in there doing his homework and seldom is there a day when he is unprepared. That said, Joe had a natural instinct and is incomparable when it comes to composure in the pocket during pressure situations. How many last minute comeback drives has he engineered? It's really hard to say because both QBs have/had exceptional receiver corps, solid anchor in the backfield, and solid o-lines. Right now, I'd take Joe because Peyton has yet to win as many rings. Furthermore, I think there is less parity in the QB position today. Joe had to compete with the Elway and Marino era. (As well as a few other off and ons that had breakout seasons) Peyton really has no real competition other than Brady.

Do I get Bill Walsh, Roger Craig, and the 49er defense along with Montana?
I think Manning is a better pure quarterback.
Championships are team achievements and completely irrelevant to a comparison of individual players.

I watched Joe Montana play both on television and live for years. Joe was cool as a cucumber under pressure and I can't tell you how many times I watched him bring the 49'ers back from a potential loss. Granted the Niners had lots of tallent but let's face it, Bill Walsh was a football genius and knew how to pick tallent. For those of you too young to remember Bill, pick up his book called "Building a Champion" and read it. Anyway, back to your question. For me, it's a no-brainer. Joe Montana anyday. Manning is good but he's no Joe Montana.

I would rather have Joe Montana. Peyton is great football players and certaintly a future hall of famer, but I think Joe was better under pressure. Take Manning out of the pocket and you have a completely different player.

I hate the 49ers, but give me Joe Montana any day.

Joe Montana any day.
As the previous guy said out of the pocket, Manning is in trouble.

your question is too all over the place...
it's like a refrigerator with a magnet poem thing...
it's just too much too look at...
the only way to really know the answer to your question is to pit them against each other in some kind of ultimate madden challenge.
someday, there will be a game like that, when you can choose any QB against any line and qb, or even a fantasy team...
now wouldn't that be fun?!?!?!

Just reading your rambling, disjointed statement makes my head want to explode. As to your question, Joe Montana.
