Using my logic?
Using my logic:
Joe Montana and Steve Young had Dwight Clark and Jerry Rice to pass to. Jerry Rice missed almost all of 1987 due to an injury. The 49er’s finished 13-3 without any Jerry Rice in 1987 - which is a testament to the quality of the 49er QBs. Montana was one of the coolest cucumbers to ever play and was brilliant, leading to a lot of last minute wins. Montana was a great QB.
Terry Bradshaw had Franco Harris and Lynn Swann to throw to. Franco Harris didn’t have any significant injuries because he would run out of bounds instead of taking a hit. Lynn Swann didn’t have any significant injuries either (but he was a good conservative). So its hard to say hhow Bradshaw would have done without his great receivers. Bradshaw was helped by a very strong Steelers defense, which gave him lots of opportunities to play offense. Bradshaw had one of the strongest arms in NFL history. Dumb as a rock though.
Bradshaw had a LOT of backing. Bradshaw missed the middle of 1976 due to an injury; some rookie QB took over and the Steelers went 6-0 with the rookie and without Bradshaw. Was Bradshaw great, or were the Steelers as a team great? I’d judge that the Steelers as a team was great - hard to single out Bradshaw as “great”
The numbers don’t lie my friend. He owns or has share of over 50 NFL records. Tom Brady will go down as one of the greatest QBs to ever play the game.
