Joe Montana has made a point to ponder on

“He’s hardly ever getting hit,” Montana said. “So, he could play until maybe 60, I don’t know.”

“The way it is with the rules, he just doesn’t take those big hits anymore,” Montana added. “Yeah, he gets hit on occasion, but it’s never one of those ‘300 pounds compressing you into the ground.’ They stopped that from being legal. They just don’t do that anymore.”
