Quote:Maybe you should do your homework before you come to school

 

Look at these: Bradshaw has a career rating of 70.  Yes 70

 

His best rating ever in a season was 88 in 1975.  He has thrown for 212 tds and 210 ints. 

 

He was by no means a great QB.  He was good enough to win with the steel curtain

 

Bradshaw played the bulk of his career before the 1978 rules changes that liberalized pass blocking and instituted the "one chuck rule," which prohibited DBs & LBs from bumping a receiver beyond 5 yards of the LOS. 

 

Football was a VASTLY different game THEN than it is NOW, and to judge Bradshaw based upon today's passer rating standards is folly.  Very few of the great QBs of that era would measure up in this era of West coast offense, 5 WR sets and specialization.

 

Judge Bradshaw based upon how he played in the biggest games.

 

As much as I hated those results, he performed basically lights out in those Super Bowls.

 

They beat Dallas 35-31 in Super Bowl XIII and the Rams 31-19 the next year.

 

The Steel Curtain did not play a significant role in those games.
