Last night, he was asked which quarterback he would take all time for one game.

So here's what he said.

It's a whole different era, and I would go with Montana any day because he was Joe cool.

And he was in an era where he was not as protected.

So you know what?

This got us thinking, Nick, if you could have one quarterback all time for one game, who would you take?

Man, I think I'm going with Patrick Mahomes.

I think that's the guy that we've seen them come up big in these moments and I love Jerry Rice.

He was one of my favorite players.

Growing up in Joe Montana was great, but he's right.

He was playing in a different era, and it was harder to play quarterback in that era, harder to play offense and receiver in that era.

But they were on the 40 Niners and for much of their reign it was pre salary cap and they had them in.

The Cowboys had all the talent and nobody was going anywhere, so I don't mean this as a slight, but if you want to talk about you wanna talk about different eras.

Jerry has to take that into consideration.

Like not to take anything away from Joe Montana.

But they nobody could leave.

They had all the best players.

They just had to beat the Cowboys every year and then in the Super Bowl, maybe knock off the Broncos or the Bills or something.

It was a different, entirely different situation than the NFL that that came to be after 93.

And free agency really took hold and kicked in, and guys were moving, and you couldn't just stockpile and keep them all there and spend all the money, so I don't know, Kimberly, tell me why I'm right.

Oh, you're not gonna hear me say that.

You're not gonna hear me say that on this show.

You know, it did not even surprised me.

The Dominique was gonna pick the new shiny toy.

The young toy.

That's the new thing, right?

It did.

That s so him.

Right to forget about the old school.

But here, let me listen.

I got my I got my Christine.

Okay, So the answer is Joe Montana.

And here's why.

Because who was Brady before Brady?

Joe Montana did Joe Montana.

Ever lose a Super Bowl?

No.

Okay, so you talk about that era and the type of teams that they had to put together?

No, Guys stayed forever.

Okay, if the Cowboys were so loaded, who was It was It was Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes beating guys.

Teams that had Lawrence Taylor, Drew Pearson.

Tony Dorsett?

No, it was it was Joe Montana.

Like the idea that we have seen this man when every super Bowl he has ever played in.

And we're gonna say Patrick Mahomes, No disrespect to Patrick cause I think he's amazing, but I just I'm just going to represent for the old heads because Dominique just wants toe move forward and forget about about the good guys who set the stage.

So what do you think, Damien?

Yes, Kimberly.

I can't believe you got asking this question.

We already Dominique Dominique already heard He knows where I'm going.

Kimberly, you know where I'm going.

T o e.

I'm going with Brady.

Dominique talked about how Dominique talked about how Joe Montana thrived in pre free agency.

There's no question you could keep all your talent.

So let's talk about post free agency Let's talk about frenzy now, where it's hard to keep talent year after year after year and who has dominated in this era.

That's in the salary cap era more than any other player in the history of this league.

Tom Brady, over 20 years, how many Super Bowls He's been nine.

Winning six, like dominating the NFC East has been in the championship game with 14 years, 14 years.

Tom Brady has been in the championship game, so you guys just said, Get up.

I should get up and walk off the set because what else needs to be said Damian.

Damian, Damian.

One of those Super Bowls.

Listen, you know what?

Forget it.

I can't I can't even believe.

Actually, I can't.

The fact that you would be, oh, totally makes sense.

And it makes sense that Dominy would totally pick Patrick Mahomes, who beat a Jimmy Garoppolo 40 Niners team as his cube.

You know what I'm saying?

No disrespect to Jimmy Garoppolo organized because they because almost six minutes ago they almost pulled it off.

However, this is in defense of Joe Montana, who and all his four Super Bowls, those teams his teams were outscoring opponents by 75 combined points like that.

That's not happening.

You wanna talk about how those teams were loaded, the man beat those loaded team.

So yes, a different era.

But he still did it every time he needed to step up and win a Super Bowl.

He won the Super Bowl.

Did not.

I mean, that's not the great.

That's not the question, though.

So, like, if this is the question the greatest of all time, then I'm going with Damien.

The argument.

Because Damian has all of the pelts on the wall, he has more.

Who would you choose for one game?

E.

No, I know.

But when they don't have a clue, the guy who wins every time he's in the Super Bowl, that is my pick.

That is all that is.

Well, I mean, I think that for one game I choose the person who's never had a bad game and who has the higher ceiling.

And that's Patrick Mahomes.

So I agree.

Pat Mahomes is not the greatest.

He falls behind Tom Brady.

He falls behind Joe Montana.

I agree, but if you're looking for someone who you know can reach heights that we have never seen before.

I'm thinking Patrick Mahomes.

So if anything, I'm willing toe listen to the arguments that you guys are making.

But you're having a different argument.

You're talking so big of you.

That's so big of you to listen.

I'm willing to listen to it.

But you guys were talking about the greatest.

And unfortunately, you're wrong about that Too carefully.

Like I'm sorry, e don't want to gang up with you gang up on you.

But you and Charlie Camel here trying to stone on us because you got your new show.

You gotta e on inauguration day.

Okay?

Do not do not miss with me on Inauguration Day 31 thing this man, Patrick Mahomes, Patrick Holmes, has played What?

What?

This is, what fourth year and you already story.

Just I'm really, really just like tasting a shiny toy.

You just shiny toy, right?

E?

I mean, come on, man.

You mean like you don't even have a real argument?

You just Well, you know Patrick Mahomes the best right now, So I'm gonna just roll with that guy.

So I I Patrick felt My gosh, if I talked to you last week, you say Who is the greatest quarterback that you've ever seen?

You would have, said Patrick Mahomes.

Now all of a sudden you acting like I'm just going prisoner of the moment.

That man been riel ever since he stepped his cleats on the NFL field.
