One somewhat overlooked QB star

Bradshaw was good, but not great. Not a Top 25 QB. Maybe not Top 50.

4 SBs and 2 MVPs and not top 50?

Archaea

Dec 25, 3:11pm

it’s just hard because he played in an era where passing stats weren’t great…

Tough audience. His leadership was special.

That I can’t speak on…I wasn’t alive

Correct. There are 22 starters in football, and the QB is only on the field for

Who are the other QBs that have multiple SB wins who are considered pedestrian?

Troy Aikman wasn’t all that great, and he won 3 Super Bowls. He was better than

So you define greatness only by stats, not leadership

Archaea

Dec 25, 3:25pm

No, by the total package. But I do believe that Super Bowl wins are much more

So Brady and Mahomes aren’t special?

I didn’t say that. I think Mahomes is probably the best QB in NFL history.

But his stats are pedestrian this year.

Archaea

He will end his career with Top 5-type stats in most advanced analytics, IMO. To

Greatest QB’s today? Of Mahomes, Burrow, Allen, & Lamar only 1 has any rings

I don’t think Aikman was better. They each had 9 seasons with adjusted passer

That’s fine, I don’t feel strongly about that point. I do feel strongly that

Both considered better than Steve Young?

Archaea

Dec 25, 3:40pm

Only 13 QBs have won an MVP and a Super Bowl in their careers. Bradshaw is one

Odysseus

Dec 25, 3:49pm

He won 2 SB MVP

Archaea

Dec 25, 3:21pm

He won 4 Super Bowls. Eli Manning will likely be in the HOF too, having won two.

I suspect the downgrading of Bradshaw is recency bias

Archaea

I thought that of Bradshaw back when I was in middle school. Only difference is

You have to look at eras. Barr Starr has poor stats

Archaea

Dec 25, 3:45pm

Bart Starr was much better than Bradshaw.

QB ratings are always subjective, but most publications I reviewed have Bradshaw between 15-20 on list of all-time best

I heard Howie Long say that Marino was the best thrower of the football He had ever seen. Probably the quickest release

Bradshaw is not top 10

Dec 25, 3:13pm

I think he’s neck and neck with Elway when adjusting for the eras they played in

Dec 25, 3:37pm

I thought Elway was much better than Bradshaw.

Elway carried his team to 3 superbowls. Name his best offensive weapon for the
