So not only did Montana have an owner who was willing to shell out the resources to keep Walsh's super teams intact, but it was also harder for other teams to rise as a contender then than it is today?
Sounds like you just made another argument for me as to why Manning's consecutive playoff appearances in this day and age is even more impressive.

Those dominant teams didn't appear until Joe had already a ring under his belt. It was basically a two man team. Lott was a beast on the other side and Hicks had a career year in the secondary. But there was nothing special about that team. He proved he can win a SB on his own. That 81 team had far less talent than any Manning team.
I think you need to reread what wrote.
Manning's always had a grade A roster on the offensive side. T.Glen Faulk Harrison Edge Clark were all with him since his NFL berth.Not to mention the yearly offensive first round picks.
I don't play the more with less card but since you seem to want to Montana has the upper hand.
Even the what if switcheroo card I hate. I think Montana wins more than 1 ring with those Colts , I don't think Manning gets past the Cowboys and Bengals to win SB in 81 with guys named Clark and Solomon.
I think you guys forget how special Montana. Especially playing this numbers game. Jim Brown had some insane stats but until you see footage of Jim and hear the stories you don't grasp how good he was. I think we all get how good Manning is but some of you are forgetting Montana's greatness.
