I think he means punk as-in was scared of taking hits..
I don't know the answer because I didn't watch a whole lot of Montana clips.

Well, Montana was a very nice guy. And Montana took some good hits, but he was mainly a Scrambling QB so he usually avoided hits.

From what I had seen out of all his clips including when he played for the Chiefs at the end of his career is that he was not a scrambling QB as much as he was an out of pocket QB if you can understand what I am trying to say. He only went out when his pocket collapsed and scrambled to only get away from people or make that crucial 1st down. Otherwise he stayed back. So he would mostly be called a Pocket QB.

From all the clips I saw he actually usually threw out of the pocket more so than in it.

In order to be claimed a scrambling QB, that would require him to have been a lot more like Steve Young. Montana did not run near as much as Young did. A pocket passer does not necessarily mean that he has to throw from just the pocket, he can throw outside the pocket as well. Just not run that often to gain first downs.

Is Vince Young related to Steve Young?

Yeah Vick (sorry a** QB) was a scrambler and Tony Romo is a Pocket passer (even if he never stays inside it).

That is correct. Now if you look at McNabb, he is an all around. He can do it all in every aspect. So could Rothlisbuger. But none of them will ever be anywhere near the ultimate QB of all time.


RANDALL CUNNINGHAM!!!

You completely missed my entire point on the subject. Unitas was not the greatest pocket passer and neither is Manning. Marino was. Did all that in less time than Favre did. When I said Randall Cunningham, he was the ultimate QB because he could hurt you in every way imaginable. He could kick (did punts), pass, rush, and catch all along with blocking down field. That guy would school ANY QB in beating a team out. The only problem was that every team he was on was missing pieces to the puzzle. You put him on Philly right now or Colts or even the Chargers, they are pretty clost to being the automatic SB Champs. He was that good. If you ever watched him, you would know what I am talking about.

I hate to disagree with you on this, Randall Cunningham was an excellent Quarterback, one of the best the game will ever know. And could very well be the best well rounded Quarterback, but that doesn't make him the Ultimate Quarterback. And I'm not just saying that because he never won a Superbowl. You can be great in every aspect of being a QB like Randall was, but by the end of the day it's not how good of a pocket passer you are, scrambler or blocker if need be, but how good of a field general you are. The Ultimate Quarterback can take a team in any situation, step into that huddle, and with a few soft words can rally teh team to do what is needed to win. Montana was above brilliant in doing this, Bart Starr was tremendous in doing this. Randall was able to do it as well, but not nearly to the point Starr or Montana was capable of.

You could be the most athletic QB ever and do every physically demanding element the position requires of you, but having that X factor to rally a team behind you in even the worst of situations and win is what separates the great quarterbacks like Cunningham, from the legendary ones.

You forget completely that Bartt Star and Montana as well as P. Manning as well all had the best offenses to fall back on and including defenses that could bail you out in the end as well. Randall never had that. The Eagles teams that he was on had only adequate to sub-par at the very best teams and he elevated them to practically playoff teams where they never would have gone to the playoffs without him. That is why Randall is so much better. He did much much more with much much worse almost bottom feeding teams. None of them could or ever would be able to do that ever.

They didn't always have the "Best" offenses to fall back on, Montana and Peyton Manning had to start from scratch and build up. Many other great QB prospects were in those situations and failed to help develop the worst franchises of their times into some of the best dynasties. And it's hard to say that if Randall Cunningham we're to have started out in similar fashion if he would have pulled it off as well. And I think it's unfair to say that the Eagles of that time wouldn't have made it to the playoffs without Randall, I think there are other Quarterbacks who could do that. Just remember when Montana left the 49ers to play for the Kansas City Chiefs, it was a chiefs team that was sub-par and a non-playoff team, his first year with them they went all the way to the AFC championship only to fall short to Buffalo.
