5 greatest Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks of all time

Terry Bradshaw

This pick may surprise some people (it might also make the number one pick obvious) but Terry Bradshaw was the most clutch, big-game quarterback the Steelers ever had in franchise history. With that said, the number one quarterback has also had some big-time moments and even better stats. People will argue stats do not matter because they played in different eras, and that might be true but Bradshaw also took a little while to get going as the Hall of Fame quarterback that he would become.

Bradshaw had one of the most talented rosters ever assembled on a football field with one of, if not the best, defense of all-time to back him up and a deadly offense to boot. Hall of Famers like Jack Lambert, Mean Joe Greene, Mel Blount, John Stallworth, Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, and many others played alongside Bradshaw.

Bradshaw would accumulate a Hall of Fame nomination with the amazing numbers that he put up with the Steelers – numbers like a 107-51-0 record, 27,989 passing yards, 212 passing touchdowns, a 14-5 playoff record, four Super Bowl Championships, two Super Bowl MVP’s, three Pro Bowl nominations, one First-Team All-pro nomination, and NFL MVP.
