Why Joe Montana Believes Patriots Letting Tom Brady Walk Away Was 'Mistake' (via NBCSAuthentic)
Tom Brady, like his idol Joe Montana, will end his illustrious NFL career with a different team than the one he started with.
Brady, nearly 27 years after Montana was traded from the 49ers to the Kansas City Chiefs, left the New England Patriots and signed a two-year contract with Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Montana told USA Today that he doesn't know who's at fault, but the Pro Football Hall of Famer felt“I think when you look at the whole situation, you try to figure out how you want to get away from things that are there,” Montana told USA Today's Jarrett Bell.
The 49ers traded Montana in April 1993 after he missed all but one game during the 1991 and 1992 seasons. An elbow injury knocked Montana out of the lineup, and Steve Young seized the starting role during Montana's absence.
“They say it and it comes up all the time, but it becomes a business," Montana told Bell. "At some point, it’s business. That’s why I had long talks with Bill about our relationship, after he retired. The relationship that happens, everybody makes it look like there’s friction, but in the end, he goes, ‘I just had to keep my distance to a certain point from you because I can’t become your best friend. Because I have to make a decision on you at some point.
“It actually brings a new excitement to you, to a certain degree," Montana said."Because it’s not going to be the same-ol', same-ol' going into the same locker room that you’ve been going into for so many years, seeing the same people over and over. He doesn’t need a fresh start, but it gives you a great feeling inside, looking forward to trying to help the team move forward. And everybody believes in him, looking forward to watching him play.
