Hall of Fame quarterback and football icon Joe Montana joined Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan to answer questions about life outside of sports as part of the "Excel presents #SpeakingOf" series. Toward the end, the quarterbacks were allowed to answer some football-related questions.

Below are Montana's responses. You can watch the entire feature at the end of this article, which includes Ryan's answers to each question.

What was your greatest comeback win?

JM: "We played Philly in Philly when Buddy Ryan was there. I think we scored three or four touchdowns in the last quarter to win."

Who is your most-admired teammate?

JM: "There was a guy, John Ayers. He was an offensive guard who handled Lawrence Taylor better than anyone."

no super bowl stats?

Montana had one of the great supporting casts of all time. His defenses were underrated for their time. That said they might have won more titles had they started Steve Young sooner.

so you are defending Matt Ryan cause I would say Ryan has had a great supporting cast

Are you serious?  How often has Ryan had a run game or a defense to help him?  Julio Jones, by himself, is not a great supporting cast.

What did Montana have?  Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott, Fred Dean, and Charles Haley.  He also had guys who are close, like Roger Craig, Dwight Clark, and Tom Rathman.  #1 Defense once, #2 defense three times, #3 defense three times,  and a top 10 defense 9 times out of 11 years playing for the 49ers.

How many hall of fame players has Ryan had on his team?  Tony G for the back third of his career.  Alex Mack for the back 3rd of his career.  Roddy White, Julio Jones.  Anyone on defense?  Maybe Grady Jarrett.  Where has our defense ranked while Ryan has been here?  LOL.  What about our run game?  We've had a few years with a decent run game, but just as many with a cellar dweller run game.  That's not, "great supporting cast."

Ryan has achieved some very impressive things, despite having very little help to speak of.  Our fanbase craps on him at every turn.  It's disgusting.  We don't deserve Matt Ryan.

I'm talking about Joe Montana and those Niners teams of the 80s. While yes Matt has had great players around him, he has never had the offensive lines, defenses, and the offensive genius of Bill Walsh behind him.
