Dieter Kurtenbach: Tom Brady or Joe Montana? There’s no debate

I take no pleasure in writing this column.

But following Tom Brady and the Patriots’ comeback victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Sunday’s AFC Championship, something else has come back to water coolers, bars, social media timelines, and the airwaves: the debate about who greatest quarterback of all-time is.

Up here in the Bay Area, that conversation has a predictable formula: Is it Joe Montana or Tom Brady?

Somehow, hundreds, thousands, perhaps even millions of people believe there is still a debate to be had.

Those people are wasting their time.

The debate is over.
