Six combined Super Bowl rings wasn’t enough to earn Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks Terry Bradshaw or Ben Roethlisberger a place among the top ten quarterbacks in Super Bowl history. Reporter and columnist Tyler Dunne put together a list of the Top 30 quarterbacks of the Super Bowl era, 1966 to today.
Dunne slotted Bradshaw slightly ahead of Roethlisberger, No. 14 versus No. 16.
“Talent-rich Steelers teams of the 70s needed this quarterback with the 1-of-1 personality. Big arm. Tough. Bradshaw was easy for the Pittsburgh locals to love,” Dunne wrote about Bradshaw.
The locals loved Bradshaw but he had an often contentious relationship with head coach Chuck Noll.
