Montana would have used a unique approach for receivers who complained

It’s easy to figure out where 49ers quarterback Joe Montana comes down on the question of whether Jerry Rice or Randy Moss is the greatest receiver of all time.

Still, it’s one thing to guess at what Montana would say and to hear him say it.

Montana said that and more during a Tuesday visit to PFT Live, addressing the differences between Rice and Moss and the impact of having a quarterback who consistently delivered the ball between the “8" and the “0" on Jerry’s jersey.

But Montana never had to deal with Rice demanding the ball, and Montana shared what his strategy would have been if he had to deal with a receiver like Moss or Terrell Owens giving the quarterback a hard time for not throwing them the ball more often.

Montana said he would have said nothing during the game. Then, he would have come to a press conference with video evidence of dropped passes and bad routes to show when the ball was no longer going the player’s way.
