Terry is severely underrated by most football fans. When the conversation of greatest comes up, it's usually Brady, Montana, Elway, Marino, Manning, Unitas and a few others in the discussion. This guy was as clutch as they came, he was the definition of the big game qb.
I grew up watching Bradshaw play. He was tough, called his own plays and never quit. Those Steeler Teams he played on were just awesome teams with great spirit. Hard to believe those guys had part time jobs in the off season and still played that great.
Terry Bradshaw and the Pittsburgh Steelers of the mid to late 70s, you are the smoothest looking explosive team dynasty ever! And I'm not saying this just because of this video! I have always thought that. This Steeler dynasty made it look so polished and just so easy. And Bradshaw was probably the best pocket quarterback of all time. They really dominated the NFL. Thank you Terry. And thank you Pittsburg Steelers. It was such joy and pleasure that you all gave us watching you all play. Again, THANK YOU PITTSBURG STEELERS. The best NFL football team dynasty ever. IMHO.
One of the best QB's ever and underrated. Four Super Bowls in 6 years and would have been a tree peat had Franco & Rocky not been hurt and absent in the final AFC championship game in Oakland in December 1976.
He is the reason I'm a Steelers fan for 32 years now. I love all the other guys but that is my childhood hero so glad I got to meet him. The Greatest of all time.
What a fantastic video. I've been watching this over and over for a year. Incredible images and a testament to the greatness of Terry. Thank you so much.
@@Yeomannn Staubach is a Heisman trophy winner, a veteran, a superbowl champion, and the starting QB for the Dallas Cowboys. Bradshaw got no respect. People repeatedly questioned his intelligence. Not kidding
Great video. I became a Pittsburgh fan while watching the Immaculate Reception. Most of these highlights I don't remember. Bradshaw was a badass. I have a newfound respect for him 45 years later due to this video. Thank you!
I didn't know Terry was so elusive. He wasn't the greatest QB ever, but he played well in Big Games, and his receivers played hard for him and came up with incredible catches.
2:23 was a very "Branshaw" moment. People mistook his humility with stupidity. The guy had incredible football intelligence to go with that incredible arm. Can't argue with 4 superbowl victories. He was kind of like Elway in that he improved with age, truly maturing as a quaterback towards the end of his career. He also had a great optimistic attitude that trickled down to the rest of the team. Reminded me of a shrewder Favre.
He was one the greatest OB's of the game , I say that even thought I am a diehard Browns fan. I've been a Browns fan since 1947 when they played in the All American Footal League. Listened to them on the radio. I don't think there will be a toughter quarterback then Terry Bradshaw was.
After watching him do commentary all these years I decided to see what this old man was about... He was a hell of a fighter and deserves tons of respect. Go Pack!
I remember 4:19! Great video, but another amazing memory you can have of Terry is a Monday night game, 1982 season, against Dallas. 4th and 1, I believe...he throws a 30 yard TD pass. "Gutsy call!", Cosell said. Bradshaw - tough as nails, powerful, cocky. He threw so many interceptions, and his completion percentage was only stellar in two seasons (and he never exceeded 60% except in 1983, from 1 game), but he got the job done in the long run. He is excellent at the desk, too.
Mel Blount and Joe Greene both said in practice that Bradshaw's throws made a distinctive sound when thrown, because they were so fast. The same comment was made in 1983 for Dan Marino in Dolphins' practices.
I have been reading the comments and i am wondering--Did anyone watch the videos? Terry not only ran the ball, he ran people over better than a full back. He had 3 guys on him and still didn't go down. I watched him as a kid and he was awesome and now looking at the old footage-He is awesome. He has heart and no stats shows this but 4 Superbowl rings do. Enough said.
Ah Terry, my all-time favorite... sliding to avoid the hit only applied to his musical career. Terry was second string behind Phil Robertson (Duck Dynasty, Duck Commander) at La. Tech until Phil decided to skip his senior year of football to devote time to duck hunting. Terry gets 4 Super Bowl rings and Phil gets a couple of TV shows. It was a good year for quarterbacks in Louisiana, which (BTW) can't be spelled without "S-i".
MR. TERRY BRADSHAW - GREATEST NFL quarterback till present day. 4 NFL SUPER BOWL WINS in 6 years, including 2 back to back SUPER BOWL WINS | IX - PITTSBURGH STEELERS 16 - Viking 6, X - PITTSBURGH STEELERS 21 - Dallas Cowgirls 17, XIII - PITTSBURGH STEELERS 35 - Dallas Cowgirls 31, XIV - PITTSBURGH STEELERS 31 - Los Angeles Rams 17. Futire Hall Of Famer Shoe In - PITTSBURGH STEELERS Record Braking Quarterback BEN ROETHLESBERGER - SUPER BOWL XL - PITTSBURGH STEELERS 21 - Seatle Seahawks 10, SUPER BOWL XLIII - PITTSBURGH STEELERS 27 - Arizona Cardinals 23. 6 LOMABARDI TROPHY'S that reside in THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS SHOWCASE at THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS HEADQUARTERS in Pittsburgh, PA. The PITTSBURGH STEELERS had 1 Super Bowl Loss prior to Quarterback BEN ROETHLESBERGER joining the team - SUPER BOWL XXX - Dallas Cowgirls 27 - PITTSBURGH STEELERS 17. Neil O'Donnell was the quarter back. THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS lost SUPER BOWL XLV - Green Bay Packers 31 - PITTSBURGH STEELERS 25 with BEN ROETHLESBERGER as quarterback. The PITTSBURGH STEELERS have been to THE BIG DANCE 10 Times, and WON 8 out of 10. There will more LOMBARDY TROPHY'S in THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS FUTURE. A PITTSBURGH STEELERS die hard fan since 1966.
1978 NFL MVP, SB XIII and XIV MVP, 1975, 77, 78, 79 Prow Bowl, Only QB to win 4 SBs in 6 years and back to back SBs twice. Only QB to win titles in both ears of rules that favored the D and Rules that favored the O. 1 of 2 QBs to win consecutive SB MVPs, only QB to pass for over 300 yds in consecutive SB games, 2, 257 reg. season yds rushing for 32 rushing tds. 30 TDs and 3,833 yds post season, threw a TD pass in the 4th quarter of all 4 SBs. 107-51 Reg season, 14-5 post season, 121-56 all time.
He was a good fit for a great team, that make him part of greatness. He took a lot of chances ( which is why statistically he has so many interceptions) but the number 4 ( super bowls ) outshines the risks. During the time of the steelers dominance, the Huston Oilers HAD an incredible team as well, ( very we rounded ) but the Steelers peaked at the same time, and Huston just coul'nt get over us. I like tom think Bradshaw was that hump.
It's so funny how people who search for who is the greatest qb. Are in denial of them selves being steelers fans. Because they consistently overlook this man, who is the greatest qb of all time. Sad they will never learn the fact of how this guy is better then all who have come before after and will ever be. Just fyi, hey guys! This IS the greatest qb of all time. Search is over.
The True GOAT. I'm not even a Steelers fan. In fact, I really dislike the Steelers. The game was different then. It was rougher, it was more physical since refs weren't flag-happy-psycho & the equipment wasn't nearly as good making it hurt a lot more. Bradshaw dominated in one of the toughest era's of football. QB's these days are like glass.
People will watch this video and not realize just how far Bradshaw is throwing some of these passes. The pass against the Broncos at 1:56 and against the chargers at 3:10 were pushing close to 70 yards in the air. Most of the others are 30-50 yard ropes. You don't see too many QB's in todays game throw passes like Bradshaw did...sometimes leaning away on with back foot! His arm strength was amazing, equivalent to Nolan Ryan with a football.
The most underated qb in nfl history.Modern fans are too obsessed with stats! they only tell half the story.You can be a great regular season qb (jurgunsan,fouts etc) but have a very poor post season record. Terry came alive in the post season,where it really matters.He was a truly big game player.
The BEST! Big Ben would not make a pimple on TB's butt. If Terry played in this pass crazy nfl he would throw for 6,000 yards. Man, he had a cannon for arm.
Terry won 4 rings in 6 years and back to back twice and two of his rings were won in the era where the DB could chuck the receivers past 5 yds down field. Terry won SB MVP in conseutive SBs and threw a TD pass in the 4th quarter of every SB he ever played in. NFL Films has called his 4th Quarter TD passes in SB X and XIV the best TD passes of all time. He called his own plays, run and pass that made him a real field general. Oh Yeah he didn't know the other teams Defensive signals either.
I realize he is a head of schedule but he was a rookie with Hines Ward, Randel El and Plaxico Buress, Jerome Bettis and Duce Staley. His 2nd year he had Willie parker, Jerome Bettis, Heath Miller, Hines Ward and Randel El. Terry was drafted in 70 and didn't get Franco til 72 and Swann and Stallworth till 74.
It could have been 5 SBs in 6 years. 1976 team was one of the greatest ever. Off to a poor start, the Steelers had 5 shutouts. But injuries to Rocky and Franco doomed their playoffs. Jack Lambert called the '76 team the best ever.
Jack ham and Terry said it best. ham said that he wouldn't have 4 super bowl rings today without Terry Bradshaw. Terry told Dwight White during an argument at practice,"You can lose with me, but you can't win with out me"
@HinesXL Also coverage rule changes in 1980 resulted in the "westcoast offense". Some in the NFL thought the the game s/b more of a passing game, the 49ers designed their plays around these rule changes. And used alot of five yard routs.
@inmhstn Actually the rules changes came in 78 but by 1980 they were in full affect. What's cool about Terry is he is the only QB to win not only one SB in each era but 2 in each era. Terry was a back to back SB QB in the OLD NFL of Unitaus, Graham and Starr and a Back to Back SB QB in the era of Montana, Elway and Favre. Remember Montana's first SB was only 2 years after Terry's last and his 2nd was only 5 years after Terry's last and his 3rd and 4th were only one decade later.
The Little Abner who couldn't spell cat, was 1st to spell "Doom" for Doomsday & Cowboys' flex defense. That defense is still remembered today as very complicated & sophisticated defense ("nobody else could teach it" said on Tom Landry Football Life).In reality,it was stupidly simple; every defender guard an area (except for MLB guards two areas).In SB 13,Stallworth knew where CB Kyle was going to be on both of his TDs. 2 of Bradshaw's 4 TDs were thrown on 1st down(to add to point made yesterday)
Bradshaw has a 112 career SB passer rating and over 4 games, all wins. Only Montana is higher for QBs who have played in 3 or more games. He also still holds the career SB and single game most yds per attempt.
Look at 3:38 and watch the ball coming out of his hand. That's why they called him the blonde bomber.....seriously. That pass is just SICK even by today's standards. Dude had a cannon, and that is why the Rooney family drafted him.
Montana's Int in XXIII was dropped by Billips which would've given CIncy a touchback and kept a 7 point lead. Terry called his own plays, Joe was Walsh's robot, a system QB who could've enver played under the old down field bump and run rules. Terry won 2 rings under the old and 2 under the new rules. Terry was just as clutch but with big plays instead of dink and dunk drives. Check out 4th quarter SB td passes of 64/ 73 yds in SB X and XIV, he threw a TD pass in the 4th quarter of each SB.
Bradshaw saw through Landry's Flex defense, as Bradshaw went undefeated against the Cowboys. "Shoot," once said Bradshaw. "There was no big mystery about how to beat the Flex defense. You threw on 1st down. The corners were almost always man-to-man on 1st down because the Flex was geared to stop the run. I almost felt sorry for their CBs". In 1988, on NFL show "Against All Odds", WR John Stallworth recalled that there were plays in which he & Bradshaw connected by just drawing plays in the dirt.
One of the greats, doesnt get the regonition he deserves which is a shame. people are to obsessed with stats,which only tell half the story of any quarterback. twinning is most important thing. what separates the men from the boys is doing it in the post season and getting to and winning the big one! Bradshaw done both and thats what makes him top 3 of all time any day of the week
Terry is severely underrated by most football fans. When the conversation of greatest comes up, it's usually Brady, Montana, Elway, Marino, Manning, Unitas and a few others in the discussion. This guy was as clutch as they came, he was the definition of the big game qb.

I love Terry Bradshaw!! Great guy!!
Bad Ass!
Terry is the most Underrated QB ever, and yet he was a first ballot HOF inductee.
BIG fan of the Steelers then and now!! Real fun the watch this.. thanks for the memories.
Love the play at 1:00. Perfect blocking, perfect throw...
this is the best of all time.rock on terry
I just watched a Married With Children with Terry and decided youtube him. Great vid! One of the best QBs ever.
Great post, outstanding tribute to one of the best.
Bradshaw had 2 Super Bowl MVPs + 4 rings = one of greatest QBs all time!
As a Steeler fan since the early 60's, I've seen a lot of QB's, but Bradshaw is at or very near the top. Best Steeler QB ever without a doubt.
After watching him do commentary all these years I decided to see what this old man was about... He was a hell of a fighter and deserves tons of respect.

Arguably the best super bowl quarterback of all time. The 'blonde bomber' came up so big in the big games and those who were there know it.

I agree. Tackling was as efficient as it is now-a-days. Back then it was rare for a QB to get sacked, no it happens every time.
Never knew he could run. Lol fan forever. Too young to see him play and highlights mostly of bombs

Goat. Awesome video man 🔥
Great QB.
One of the greats, doesnt get the regonition he deserves which is a shame. people are to obsessed with stats,which only tell half the story of any quarterback. twinning is most important thing. what separates the men from the boys is doing it in the post season and getting to and winning the big one! Bradshaw done both and thats what makes him top 3 of all time any day of the week
