Steve needed 10 pro bowlers to finally get past Dallas. Joe was better with less and more.
Joe had his Cowboys/Packers, too. They were called the New York Giants. He lost to the Giants in the playoffs three times (1985, 1986, 1990).
Id love to see LT play in this era. Personally I think he would be average
I think he'd hit a QB so hard they'd turn to dust, especially these old QB's. He'll be drugged up doing it, but he'd be the most feared man on the field if he played today. He'd literally kill someone on the field.

When I watch old LT tape he's getting one on ones, being left alone with TEs and RBs or just a complete lack of athleticism or fundamentals from tackles/guards.

He was going up against what was the norm for the time. Tackles are literally better at what they do now because of LT. To just project him forward without him having the same advantages isn't a serious comparison.

Glad to say we had both.
Super Bowls and HOF! Couldn't ask for any bigger blessings than those two guys.
The only thing that would have made it even better 🤔
"Drafting Mahomes over Solomon Thomas."??
yea maybe
.. or staying with Grappy rather than takin TB..
First two years of Tom and Brock's career...
Brock Purdy 17-4
Tom Brady 11-3
How many rings and SB appearances?
Its been 4 years, since Brock's been in the NFL. Comparing Tom and Brock's first four years of their careers:
Tom - two championship wins
Brock - one championship loss
Montana before the back issues caused regression before he went to KC. Steve Young was a freak though. More athletic and threw dimes on the run. I still remember the time at candlestick when slipped in his drop back, got up and threw a dot to TO for the game winner
I am 61 and saw both play. I have to give it to Joe and I agree wiht LT. Joe is the GOAT. I LOVE Steve and enjoyed his play and glad we had him after Joe. But Joe, he won 4 Lombardi's, and yes, its a team game, but those 80's team were dominant on both sides. They won because they had an outstanding defensive players that could hold opponents, they had outstanding offensive players that could make the plays consistently and they had Bill Walsh. Walsh knew football and we have to give credit to Eddie D. He was willing to do whatever it took to keep the talent. Different game today and I would say, and some will disagree, I am so grateful we have Shanahan because he is one of it not the top coach of our current era because he wins even when everything is stacked against him ie injuries, schedule etc. He uses the talent he has and makes sure he and his staff are ready to play.
