The true answer is Joe Montana. Goes to a team with a brilliant new coach with a new short passing offensive system that no one knew how to defend and who also is by far the best talent evaluator of his era so the rest of the team is completely packed with quality at every position. Proceeds to throw easy crossing pattern throws to wide open receivers for a decade while the receiver does all the work getting 20 yards after the catch. Becomes a media darling and takes all the credit that rightfully belonged to Walsh. By the time the NFL had figured out how to defend a competent WCO, he was winding down.

What I’m saying is that Steve Young was three times the QB that Montana ever was.
