1981 Joe Montana vs 1997 Peyton Manning

These are the beginning of the new generations of the NFL. 1981 was the start of real football rather than old people football. 1981 was when tech started to be used in the NFL and when players started to want to make more money and care more about the well-being of players. 1997 was the start of weird football where people care about how they look rather than how they play. The start of internet in football and the point in which people don't remember the 1990s anymore. Peyton Manning had been so injured and hit throughout his life he doesn't remember anything before the year 2002. So who wins?

Huh?

millennials are 23 and up they are the true 90's people, the ones who actually did grow up in the 90's and remember it gen z were raised in the 2000's and 10's

22 and below is zoomers. So Millennials loved Joe Montana while Zoomers loved Peyton Manning. When polled people aged 38 to 23 said Joe Montana was their favorite NFL player ever. When people 22 to 18 was polled, they said Peyton Manning.

I see Montana as more 80s.  90s, IMO, is more about Favre and Steve Young.  Or mass Cowboys fans popping up out of nowhere.

Montana was in his third season as a pro, and won the Super Bowl as one of the top passers in the NFL. Manning was still at the university of Tennessee in 1997, and his first season in 1998 struggled mightily as a rookie on a bad team.

Not sure how you can compare the two players, and their situations. One was still in college.

I'm a millenial. Most of us were too young to have watched Montana. Millenials are defined as 1981-1996. The vast majority of us were 5 or under when Montana won his final SB. 

Likewise, most of us us were over 5 for most of Peyton's career and remember it far more. THAT SAID, we all grew up being told Montana was the GOAT and hearing stories about how legendary the Niner's were and it set up a high standard
