He can make all the throws. He has more than enough arm strength. So did Joe.\"  <p>So did Joe, just a little bit better.</div>";

spt_brady_montana[i-1].body = "<br><div class=bodycopy><headline/>    <br>This is a tossup, because Montana and Brady are among the most accurate passers in football history. Brady's greatest strength may be his ability to put the ball where he wants to put it most of the time, especially on the short to intermediate routes he favors. Certainly no one can say he's more accurate than Montana, but he might not be any less so either.</div>";

spt_brady_montana[i-1].body = "<br><div class=bodycopy><headline/>    <br>This is a key element in quarterbacking, perhaps the most important. Montana was a master of it, but Brady is as well. Both process information quickly and seem uncannily able to get the ball to the right place. Brady throws more vertically than horizontally though, so Montana was forced to make a few more difficult downfield decisions. Based on that, the nod goes to Montana, but not by a lot.</div>";

The 49ers and later the Chiefs would have followed Montana into a burning building if he said that was the route to victory. Same is true for Brady, who is 10-1 in playoff games. When you win as often as these two have, your leadership skills are unquestioned. Montana did it longer but at a comparable stage in their careers, you're talking about two leaders akin to Douglas MacArthur and George Patton.</div>";

spt_brady_montana[i-1].body = "<br><div class=bodycopy><headline/>    <br>Both Montana and Brady have that uncanny ability to shift just a step or two in the pocket to avoid pressure and still get the ball away. But this is the one area where Montana holds a clear overall edge. He was a scrambler who had quicker feet, better balance and was more elusive at Brady's age. \"Joe was a much better runner,\" former 49ers coach Bill Walsh said. \"Tom can move well enough, but Joe could really get out of the pocket and make plays when he was young.\"</div>";
