And how would Sammy Baugh or Sid Luckman have done with Walsh? Probably at least as well as Montana.

I have it in the back of my head that Walsh credited Luckman with a lot of his ideas...

Actually, it was Paul Brown.  Over the years, Walsh repeatedly cited Paul Brown’s influence on his approach to coaching.  Recently, I watched a NFL Films show that focused on the championship game that featured “The Catch”.  During the show, Walsh credited Paul Brown with creating the play that won the game.  Walsh said he just tweaked it a bit.
