Mike Francesa offered one more scorching hot take on his way out the door Wednesday, putting Joe Montana and Peyton Manning in a class above Tom Brady.

"But, let me say this, in the Super Bowl, just take the Super Bowl performances, nobody ever has competed on the level Joe Montana competed on. Not even close. And in the regular season, I watch every game in the regular season, the best down-to-down, Sunday-to-Sunday quarterback I’ve ever seen regular season was Peyton Manning."
Quarterback Peyton Manning, #18 of the Indianapolis Colts, looks to pass the ball in the second half against the Baltimore Ravens during the AFC Divisional Playoff Game at Lucas Oli Stadium on Jan. 16, 2010 in Indianapolis.. He was thrust into his rookie season as a starter and led the NFL in interceptions. Expectations were high as he took the reins from Jim Harbaugh. In 1999, Manning broke out of his shell with Marvin Harrison while Edgerrin James got his feet underneath him.
At age 44, he could have won MVP when he had 5,316 passing yards and 43 touchdown passes. Brady also set a single Super Bowl record for passing yards in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He has 21 career touchdown passes in the Super Bowl as well – 10 more than Montana.
