There is no denying who the two greatest quarterbacks are in Pittsburgh Steelers franchise history. Terry Bradshaw and Ben Roethlisberger are head and shoulders ahead of whoever you want to call the No. 3 quarterback on the list. We’ve done our own, but the debate about Nos. 3-5 could go on forever.
Having said that, there is a great deal of debate about No. 1 and No. 2. Much of the discussion centers on Super Bowl wins compared to stats when it comes to Bradshaw vs. Roethlisberger. Let’s make a case for both.
Bradshaw is an absolute icon. He’s in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and went 4-0 in Super Bowls. He was Super Bowl MVP in two of those games. Bradshaw’s biggest performances typically came in the most important games, which overshadowed rather mundane stats on a run-heavy team led by a dominant defense. He was the league MVP and a first-team All-Pro selection in 1978, and overall he was chosen to three Pro Bowls.
For Roethlisberger, he made it to three Super Bowls, going 2-1 in those games. Roethlisberger was the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2004 and twice the league passing leader, and he owns every franchise passing record. He was selected to six Pro Bowls.
