Not that many people here will care about this line of discussion, but I think that the "Trent Dilfer" strategy might be more appropriate. Joe Montana may not have had the same gifts that Dan Marino or John Elway had, but he was still going to be a top tier quarterback wherever he played. (Take his end of career stop in Kansas City for example.) Trent Dilfer on the other hand was a very average Quarterback, but still won a Super Bowl while being an efficient "game manager" for the 2000 Baltimore Ravens, while relying upon strong running game (Jamal Lewis & Priest Holmes), and one of the greatest defenses of all time.
