Brady is a great qb for his era. However, the rules have been changed to favor the offense because the NFL wants high scoring games. That's a major advantage qbs of this era have over past qbs like Montana.
Both are good qbs but Montana did it back when defenders could basically maul receivers compared to what they can do today.

Honestly, no.
Montana has "The Catch"; Brady has the "Tuck Rule".
Montana put the team on his back. Rallied his team to beat powerful, dynastic teams in an era where the rules didn't favor offense so heavily. He beat teams with his arm, accuracy and excellent decision making.
Brady put the team on his back, and did just well enough to get into feild goal range. His wins are forever tarnished with the actions of his coaches. Brady is one of the better QBs of all time, but not so near the top to challenge Montana.

Defenses could also destroy QBs; break them in half. Now, it is just about illegal to touch the QB (seemingly in large part due to Brady).

When you get to the Super Bowl undefeated and can't close the deal it leaves quite a negative mark on your resume. Manning, Brady, Brees, Marino, are all great quarterbacks, but you get to the big game you win period, that's what makes a legend. Even if Brady wins again he'll always have the 18-1 season.

Montana never lost a Superbowl, nor did he have down years like Brady has had throughout his career.
Nor did he ever play a key role in what could be considered the single largest and most monumental chokejob in Superbowl history...(aka 18-1).

He will always be in the conversation with Montana, Elway and others. The conversation gets interesting when you only compare Superbowls. Montana is the hands down greatest ever Superbowl QB. 4-0 with no interceptions.
When talking about careers most fail to leave out Sammy Baugh who simply won 8 NFL Championships in 9 years. Montana pales with that comparison but comparing greats across the eras is extremely tough.
For me Montana is the best ever because he took us from the laughing stock of the NFL to the most dominate team for the next 20 years, with Steve Young taking over.
After All, I am a Homer and Proud of it.

Yup. Montana never needed the infamous tuck rule to win a game!
