Bradshaw rips Clausen's throwing

Can't believe you guys are slamming Bradshaw over the way he played. Remember when you are looking at those numbers, the game was played a lot differently in those days. Defenders could actually hit receivers then. And there was no in the grasp rule for QB's. They got treated like any other player. Average scores were generally in the teens or low twenties. Roger Staubach, who was probably the best QB of the 70's only had one season in which he completed above 60% of his passes.

It was a different era and Bradshaw compares relatively well with his peers. Not as good as Staubach or Tarkenton but better than some of the other big names of that era such as Stabler or Namath. For that era, his career was well above average. Honestly, any qb in the 70's who had more td's than int's was above average.

and bottomline is he won 4 superbowl rings period!!!!!

Yep, well said.

And don't forget Bradshaw's outstanding acting career.

Way i see it we all crussed the guy. Now we say he was right. wonder if we will say the same about Luck in years to come?? Now Simms said Luck wasnt all the hype wonder if he is right??? Simms Said Mallett Maybe we should listen to former QB who knows what it takes..

Search for delhommeys Bradshaw quote about jamarcus russell in this thread and look for the one in the Phil Simms thread regarding Philip rivers/Brady Quinn.
