I think so as well. One quarterback ranking video had Bradshaw rank at or around #25. He has 4 Super bowl wins against no losses; I just think he should have been ranked higher than #25.

@@makaha5750 Whoever made that video doesn't know football. Terry is at worst a borderline top 10 QB. There is an argument for him being in the top 10. No worse than 15.

@@Yeomannn I was going to place Terry Bradshaw at #3, as he had four wins and zero losses in his 4 Super Bowl appearances.

Bradshaw is my favorite QB. However the first half of his career he was mediocre while showing tons of potential. The second half of his career he was as good as anyone in the game. But at the end of the day his touchdown/interception ratio isn't good. But like I said most of those interceptions came in the early part of his career.

Can I get a yee-haw!!!🏈🇺🇸

Absolutely. His physical strength as a runner is almost unmatched among QBs. Only Elway and Jones come close. Stiff arms, trucks, it's all here.

GREAT point. Bradshaw was a rookie learning the pro game on a bad team. Of course his stats aren't going to be amazing right off the bat. John Elway and Bert Jones were the same way.

Standing In The Rain Bradshaw is great no doubt but, he did have those the headed dragon WRs!!!

You are exactly right. Pittsburgh had some excellent receivers so anything Bradshaw threw their way had at last a 95% chance that the ball was going to be caught. :-)

Standing In The Rain Amen

The best

Funny as you should say that. I feel FRAN TAKENTON is the GREATEST quarterback to ever live and I'm a diehard Steeler fan. Let me explain why I feel he's the best to ever play the game. He set EVERY SINGLE PASSING RECORD and held those records the longest in NFL history, and he did them all OUTSIDE and in the COLDEST PLACE in the NFL, Minnesota. I played college qb at UNC and when it gets to be about 10 degrees, that ball becomes a rock that hurts so bad to htrow that ball. Plus they did it with short sleeves. HOLY SHIT!!! Yet, Fran did it the longest and in that freezing cold. No dome games back. For that, to me, he is the GREATEST quarterback EVER. Is Bradhsaw up there, hell yes. He called his own plays and had to please a team filled with Hall Of Famers, not an easy task, and won 4 Super Bowls. But I still LOVE Fran for what he did in the frozen tundra of Minnesota.

i will still take manning over the cheater, but im a bradshaw fan all the way. Manning and Terry called their own plays, two yard tommie has been cheating his whole career with the refs keeping the nfl golden boy on top.

MMM, no. Not top ten. Maybe top15.

I said, 'big game', not 'clutch.' Difference.

+dnasty312 what's the difference between being a "big game QB" and being clutch? Don't you get the title of being clutch by winning "big games"?

Big game QBs play their greatest in the big games a la Super Bowl. To be clutch, you need the ability to bring the team from behind if there's a huge deficit or need a final drive to win. Bradshaw rarely had to do that because the Steelers were so dominant on defense and mostly everywhere else

+dnasty312 But then again, all of the Steelers' four Super Bowls of the 70s were close, competitive games against each of the NFC's three top teams of the era (2 vs. the Cowboys and 1 each vs. the Vikings and Rams), and yet he threw a fourth quarter TD pass in each and every one of them. When it came down to it, he a was clutch performer in the biggest games because he performed when it was needed most, in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl, which was always close when he played in it. And by the way, in two of those four Super Bowls, he brought the Steelers from behind, doing so twice in Super Bowl XIV.

Big Ben!

true. I always consider that QBs in the 1970s didn't have quarterback camps starting in elementary school,...no quarterback coaches breaking down footwork, arm motion and release,...while I'm sure there was film, there is no way it could be of the same quality available today. I'm really happy things worked out the way they did for Bradshaw,...and as a result,...my childhood :-)

+narly151 And I wonder how many people know that Terry Bradshaw called his own plays. Bradshaw had a reputation as being a dumb QB, while Roger Stabuach had a reputation of being the ultra-intelligent QB, yet it was Bradshaw that called his own plays, and not Staubach. And I think that might have been one of the reasons why the Cowboys could never beat the Steelers. A prime example of this was one of the key plays of Super Bowl XIII, when Bradshaw read a blitz, called a running play, and sent Franco through the hole, which resulted in a Steelers TD that made the score 28-17.

@@cjs83172 That's after Roy Gerela missed a field goal and Waters was teasing/laughing at him for missing the field goal. That's when Jack Lambert intervene and push Water to the turf. That was a great call (draw) by Bradshaw to Franco.

You mean Cliff Harris. It was Harris, who otherwise played a pretty good game, who taunted Roy Gerela and then grabbed his head, which drew Lambert's ire. Charlie Waters was not involved in that in any way. In fact, hardly any of Harris' Cowboys teammates came to his defense.

@@cjs83172 Oh yes thanks now I remember Cliff Harris. Those were the days when you sat on your couch with a remote control (not even a wireless remote) and a can of beer nearby. Players play for glory not for $$$. Times changed even a line man can demand $10million per year.

thanks :)

perhaps you're right for SBs IX and X, but not for XIII and XIV. Cowboys and Steelers were pretty much even in XIII. Big plays decided that game. With SB XIV, the Rams defense stuffed the Steelers running game and their offense played well enough, showing that the Steel Curtain was probably making it's last call. Steelers prevailed because of "60 prevent, slot hook and go", Bradshaw to Stallworth, once for a touchdown and a second time for deep enough of a gain to punch it in with a run soon after. Bradshaw's arm made XIII and XIV possible, oh, ...and he called all of the plays.

The team started in 1933. It wasn't until 1974 that they had their first championship season. Took 42 seasons to win their first championship.

TribalSolider Umm Aaron Rodgers? Hes the only qb to still do shit like that

+timmmmkay imagine if he could've thrown the ball away like they can today? he'd have way fewer int's

Stats? Really it was the 70's every offense struggle to score points

I don't think you can go by stats alone. The style of the game is constantly changing, and one era may be more passing-oriented than running-oriented when compared to others. In 1976, the Steelers had 2 1,000 yard rushers when the league had a 14 game schedule. Obviously, the Steelers were running the ball a lot. I think you have to judge athletes for the HOF based on how well they performed in their era.
