Matt Millen didn't join the Niners until later. John Elway got there but Lost. Lott was a rookie in the first Super Bowl. Marino was a good passer ,nothing more. You could have put any QB on the Ravens that year. That was more about defense than offense. Give it up to Joe. You confusing having a strong arm for being a better quarterback. Ryan Leaf could throw further than Joe, is he a better QB... Elway equals no bowl rings with out terrell, give it up. Elway is no better than any other QB who got to the game and lost. Nobody remembers who came in second, only first.
Steve Young more than anybody inherited a good team and could never get over the hump, yet he gets more props. He won one Super Bowl and take Ricky Watters away from that and ya got a loss to San Diego. Joe came to the League in 79, to a horrible SF team and turned the team around, along with a budding young defense. Rice didn't even come into the league until 85. So Joe won two Rings before Rice or Taylor ever showed up. Freddie Solomon dropped the first pass in the Super Bowl. No Rice in site. Even Niner haters gotta respect that. Mark Duper and Mark Clayton were all stars before the Rice era. Yet no ring. I'd take Moon over Marino any day...
