Few have ever played quarterback better in the NFL than Joe Montana did, as the former Notre Dame hero helped guide the San Francisco 49ers to four Super Bowl Championships in his career.
Montana and the 49ers eventually split up though as the quarterback played out the rest of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs, getting them to the AFC Championship in January of 1994.
Montana sat down with Mackenzie Salmon on SportsPulse and discussed Tom Brady’s move to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During the conversation, Montana revealed something that bothered Brady about how things went in New England, see for yourself below.

Color me surprised because my perception was always that Bill Belichick and Tom Brady worked hand in hand and that Brady had a ton of say as to what went into game plans and play calls.
Whatever the case in New England, it clearly worked for a long time as Brady left the Patriots after helping create the greatest dynasty the NFL has ever seen in his 20 years on the job.
I’ll be curious to see how Brady, who started to really look his age for much of the 2019 season, looks this year with what appears to be as talented of receivers and targets as he’s ever played with in his NFL career.
As for Montana, I’m wondering how Brady likes that conversation between a couple of legends getting out.
