Joe Montana bucked the trend of Hall of Fame quarterbacks that ended their career with another team and couldn't recapture the magic when he found succe s with the second franchise he played for, however, his takeaway from that experience might surprise you. Just because Montana had succe s with the after a decade-plus with the , doesn't mean he believes other quarterbacks should follow suit.In the case of , Montana's advice is clear. The quarterback is scheduled to
Tony Snell Jersey be a free agent for the first time in his 20-year career, but Montana's one piece of advice for Brady can be boiled down to -- the gra s isn't always greener on the other side."Don't -- if you don't have to," Montana . "It's a proce s to go through, and it takes time to get used to the team. I was fortunate because (former 49ers quarterbacks coach) Paul
Jordan Bone Jersey Hackett was there running the offense, and so I was pretty familiar with probably three-quarters of the offense going in. And, if they let him
Rodney McGruder Jersey have his own offense (with a new team), yeah, that makes it a little bit easier. But still, the transition of moving ..."I just can't see how they would let him leave there, myself." Montana's exit from San Francisco was a divorce which led toward the Hall of Fame quarterback spending the final two years of his career with Kansas City. The Chiefs traded for Montana and then set him up to succeed with the hiring of Hackett as offensive coordinator and the installation of the west coast offense. The Chiefs won their division for the first time in 22 years as Montana threw for 2,144 yards, 13 TDs and
Jordan McRae Jersey seven interceptions for an 87.4 pa ser rating at 37 years old. Kansas City eventually fell in the AFC Championship Game to the , winning more postseason games in the 1993 season than the previous 24 seasons. Montana went to his final Pro Bowl in 1993.Montana's succe s in Kansas City is abnormal for future Hall of Fame quarterbacks. Joe Namath sat the bench with the and Johnny Unitas toiled in obscurity with the San Diego . Both those teams didn't cater their offenses toward their quarterbacks and there is no guarantee Brady's future
Brandon Knight Jersey employer will do the same. Why leave New England if they want you to return? That's all Montana is trying to tell Brady -- he simply wants arguably the greatest quarterback of all time to have the ending to his career he deserves.
