but no seriously, is there anything in those videos Alex still hasn't got down?.....so far at least.

has to be the footwork..... when he drops back he doesnt always cross his legs sometimes, instead he kinda hops back and locks his knee. in other words, his mechanics dont look as smooth and clean as Montana's do in the video. I think Brady's footwork resembles Montana's the most

I agree, although when Smith is setting up for play-action his footwork seems a lot more better than a regular 3 or 5 step drop.

that's very true actually. I noticed that precisely on that mis-direction screen to VD vs. the Steelers, where Alex through a nice touch pass.

Funny, read a criticism in another thread of Smith's footwork on a PA drop...but I think the person was confusing it with a five step drop. He turned his back to the D, did a full 360 and was set. Seemed like a reasonable drop to me...though with the 9ers line I'm not sure I'd be willing to turn my back!

Not sure that anyone has been as fluid as Montana in those videos. I don't see the awkwardness Smith demonstrated in the past...which is saying something given the number of hits he's taken.

Montana sure did make all of that look so easy.
