Why did they name the state Montana after the famous 49er QB?

Because it is by the Grace of God that such a rugged, beautiful part of our country was created.  \n\nMontani Semper Liberi\n~Mountaineers are always free

Jake Delomme because Eli Manning has that beautiful last name. A quarterback with a laser, rocket arm.

How about the Patriots? They're from New England, where America began and the name is more 'American'. 'Redskins' is an insult to Native Americans. The Cowboys hail from a state that gave us G.W.Bush. The Patriots come from Massachusetts which gave us John Adams,  John Quincy Adams,  Calvin Coolidge, and John F. Kennedy.

Well Joe Montana was the QB for San Francisco.\n\nA 24-day players' strike reduced the 16-game season to 15. The games that were scheduled for the third week of the season were cancelled, but the games for weeks 4-6 were played with replacement players.\n\nDenver - Karcher\nSeattle - Mathison\nKansas City - Stevens\nLos Angeles - Evans\nSan Diego - Slick Rick Neuheisal

only Quarterback to lead his team to 10 straight championships and winning 7 of them. that is Otto Grahm. ranks as number 10 on all time quarteback rating, not bad for a quarterback in played in the 1950's. the next quarterback from his era is rated at 76. second best was Unitias because he revolinized the postion. third was Montana.

It was in fact done on purpose! When Montana was being considered admittance to the Union the President said that it was too ugly to be a state. So the people of Montana decided to reshape their state to look like a friendly face. Since the people of Montana had never seen a friendly face they chose the next best thing, a rectangle!

Cruz went to Northern State in South Dakota, so he can't be all bad.  "A regular special teams junkie", as described by "Wolf Creek" actor John Jarrett.  You know else who went to a college in SD?  Adam Vinatieri.  What a player he is, eh?  Of course, I hope he pulls his groin for leaving the Patriots in favor of the Colts.

Where are the Aikman's. Marino, Elway, Montana, Young. I guess Favre is in there, he was good and kind of still is. I liked Staubach and Unitus too. Too many to list. Nameth. Bradshaw.

Brady, Elway, and Nameth are known more for their Super Bowl victories.\n\nAikman, Young and Montana had SB titles AND great stats, but it is Joe Montana that has more recognition because ha has more Super Bowls than either of the other two, and his statistics are legendary.

This is a very difficult question. \n\nIf you look at both side to side it is almost like looking at Joe Montana and Dan Marino. Montana, like Brady, has the Championship rings. Also, just like Montana, Brady has constantly had great coaches and a decent cast of co-players around him. \n\nManning and Marino have not had that luxury. Both Marino and Manning are regular season statical giants. Breaking pretty much every passing record, neither seemed to have the right mix of players to get through the playoffs. Also until Dungy, Manning never really had great coaching.\n\nIn truth the answer to this opinion question lies in whether or not you feel that Championships or Records make greatness.\n\nI am of the belief that records make greatness so I would CURRENTLY choose Manning as the better of the two.\n\nHowever, Brady is still very young, so the jury is still out.

The state nickname has been called TAXSACHUSSETTS for as long as I can remember.  It's a state tradition from the onset of the United States.\n\nBut....it's a lovely state full of great people who continue to live there and have for well over 200 yrs.

Dallas vs Minnesota, December 28, 1975 , QB Roger Staubach threw a last second pass to Drew Pearson to win the playoff game.\n\nAfter the game Staubach was asked in an interview what he was thinking when he threw the game winning pass, he replied, "I just closed my eyes and said a Hail Mary".....and the NFL officially recognized term was coined.
