    Bradshaw or Roethlisberger

    Watch NFLN SB XIII and give us your opinion. Go ahead and give your opinion b4 you watch and then give your opinion after.

    I say Bradshaw has the edge b4 I watch SB XIII.............

    Re: Bradshaw or Roethlisberger

    I'm old enough that I don't have to watch the replays to remember Bradshaw vividly (though I am doing just that right now).

    Bradshaw has the edge until Ben wins three more, but truthfully they had a lot of similarities...both big and strong-armed, both had the ability to single-handedly win or lose games because both were gamblers by nature.

    Ben developed faster (remember, TB's first four years were AWFUL), but I think the true comparison can only start after Ben retires.

    I feel fortunate to root for a team that had these two quarterbacks and the successes they brought.

      I'm old enough to remember, but was very young, therefore my childhood opinion may be skewed.

        Love them both...but without a doubt Terry had a better arm. Seemed like he'd flick his arm & it would just fly.
        It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust & sweat & blood...

                  I hope Ben doesnt turn out to be like Bradshaw now when he gets to be that age.

                      Correct. His arm was just plain sick. He would throw off his wrong foot, flick it cross field and zip into someone 40 yards... Some of his throws were just unreal.

                        nah, I just dont think he's 100% pro-Steelers anymore. At least not like Lambert is...

                          Good call....Lambert is pure passion and is the best Steeler ever in my opinion.

                            Interesting fact: No bald or balding QB has ever won the SB. TB won his before his hair went the way of his Steelers loyalties.

                            Let's hope Ben keeps his mop for about 15 more years.

                              i thought tb was kinda balding even when he was drafted? all the footage i have seen from the 70's it looks like he was losing his hair. it looked like he had a receiding hairline then and very thin hair
