[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 1063877, member: 4199"] > but why is Bradshaw never mentioned among the best? There is a big distinction between being a great quarterback and being a good to great quarterback on a good team. Brady and Bradshaw both didn't get their rings by being in the right place at the right time, like you could say about Dilfer on the Ravens. Bradshaw didn't have an impressive statistical season until 1978. And he was back to average by 1980. He's not considered among the best because by yardage he never lead the league while he played. He lead in TDs once, in 1978. Brady is obviously better than that. He lead the league in TDs and yards a few times. The counter though is he only had 1 season where he was dominate in 2007 (though 2017 and 2020 were excellent). I also never considered him the player who could make All The Throws. He could do about 99% of them, but other than 2007, I wouldn't trust him on a deep out. [B]QBs get too much credit for wins and too much blame for losses. They are just one player.
