Retirement is not an excuse for Joe Montana and Tom Brady , apparently. Even though both quarterbackshave already said goodbye to football, there’s still a lot of competition between them. Now, the San Francisco 49ers legend has surpassed a record owned by the seven-time Super Bowl winner even without playing.

Joe Montana will always be seen by 49ers fans as the greatest player of all time. He won the four Super Bowls he played, with remarkable moments that everyone will remember forever.

On the other hand is Tom Brady, another top contender for the ‘GOAT’ position. He has seven Super Bowl ringson his hands, which is a very solid argument for him to compete for that nickname.
