Joe Montana
There's an old cartoon that shows everybody panicking,
except for one guy, who is unruffled as he does his assigned
task. In real life, that person is Joe Montana.
He possessed an almost mystical
calmness in the midst of chaos,
especially with the game on the line in
the fourth quarter. While others saw
turmoil and danger after the snap,
Montana saw order and opportunity. He
was Joe Cool, the unflappable king of the
comeback.
Joe Montana led Notre Dame to national title in 1977; led San
Francisco to 4 Super Bowl titles in 1980s; only
3-time Super Bowl MVP; 2-time NFL MVP
(1989-90); led NFL in passing 5 times; missed
all of 1991 season and nearly all of '92 after
elbow surgery; traded to Kansas City in 1993;
ranks 2nd in all-time in passing efficiency (92.3),
6th in TD passes (273) and yards passing (40,551).
