Bradshaw in many ways was one of the dumbest QB's in history

I remember there was an opposing player at the time who said Bradshaw couldn't spell cat if you spotted him the C and the A.

Even as a Steeler fan I never thought he was a great quarterback. He grew into a very good quarterback who was on a team that could win with his skill set. In 1974, the first year they won the Super Bowl, he was benched for several games. Terry Gilliam started six games and Terry Hanratty started one. I just saw earlier that Gilliam actually led the team in pass attempts that year.

Yes, the '72 Steeler team was quite good. That was the beginning of the Steeler era even though they didn't win the Super Bowl for two more years. First playoff game since they tied Philadelphia for the Eastern division title in 1947. Philadelphia won the playoff 21-0, the same score by which they had won a regular season game three weeks earlier. (Isn't the internet wonderful?) I never liked either the Dolphins or the Raiders but it was because they were good and therefore a threat to the Steelers.

Have not been able to find anything about the two players listed as being 63 on the 1933 Pittsburgh team. Must be typos, I bet they were 23.
