In the National Football League, there is no team in the history have more success in the modern Super Bowl than the Steelers Pittsburg. As a member of the NFL since 1933, the Steelers have participated in more American Football Conference title games-and won more of them than any other team in the League. Moreover, their record of six Super Bowl WINS them first on that list too. One of the really top teams in the professional football, the Steelers Pittsburg played in a Super Bowl game one or more times during each decade for four straight decades. Four of the six victories of the Super Bowl, however, all took place during the reign of their legendary quarterback, Terry Bradshaw.
Mister steel Arm
Younger fans of the game can only Bradshaw know from his current activity as a commentator for Fox Sports, and as a long time verbal foils for Howie long. There was a time, though, when "Mister steel Arm"-as he was known during his time with the Steelers-one of the best field General of his time was. Bradshaw had a strong arm, to be sure, but it was his strong presence on the field that has played the biggest role in his ability to the dominant Steelers teams of the 1970s. Never the exciting of players (he had rarely contests in which he hit the ball for more than a few hundred metres threw), Bradshaw yet knew how to win games and was allowed to call his own game for the fourteen seasons he spent in the NFL.
Leads the troops
Prepared by the team in 1970, Bradshaw not the starter until the next season. The first years of the Bradshaw tenure as quarterback gave little indication of the greatness that he later would enjoy. In fact, his frequent interceptions, and Louisiana accent, gave the media lots of ammunition to support their story that he might not be smart enough to lead a team at the highest level of the game was. Once he hit his stride, however, he was undoubtedly the best of his time. During his fourteen seasons won the Steelers eight Division Championships to go with a total of four Super Bowl titles.
Better than remember
Today, Bradshaw remembered-when he is remembered as a player-as a quarterback who focuses mainly on the steel curtain defense to win games and titles. Far too few fans of the game today recognize how powerful his passing can be, and how the threat of a deep pass Bradshaw could loosen up an opposing defense and strengthening of the game is running. Bradshaw has always maintained a reserved perspective on his many accomplishments and the spot that he as a quarterback for his alleged experienced even in pas has taken below average intelligence. In response to the notion that he's not smart enough to have been that big of a general and history records, field Bradshaw just pointed out that he doesn't have to be a smarter than he was because football is not rocket science. The truth is that if it was, his accomplishments qualify him as a rocket scientist to come!
