I went to Tech 1967-1969. Went to the Miss State game. La Tech beat Miss State 10-7 the same year Miss State beat LSU (1968). Heard Paul Harvey predict that he was going to be the number 1 draft choice. Also, there was talk about him even being a Heisman candidate. There has always been people critical and jealous , but I can't be more proud of him now for the way he supports and plugs for this state.

Also, I would think that JR would even thank Bradshaw for his politicking to be the number 1 draft pick, and that JR would be a good fit for Oakland.

Could care less if he is overated. Proud of Bradshaw and Karl Malone for openly supporting this state.

I'm a Bradshaw fan, but can acknowledge that he was overrated

Speedy: How much of his career did you see?
Posted on 1/27/08 at 7:11 am to fanrun
Last 4 seasons
Posted on 1/27/08 at 7:17 am to SPEEDY
Speedy:I got to see him while he was playing at La Tech, then followed his ups and downs at Pittsburg. I thought that his best range was when it was 3rd and Long. (20 -25 yards). I don't think he was overated at this range. Remember his last year was when his arm gave out on him.

I'm not old enough to have watched his entire career, but his career stats speak for themselves.
His career passer rating is the exact same as Rex Grossman, which is the 127th best of all-time.
I dont have to go watch game film to know that he was overrated when you look at these seasons:
1970
Completed 38% of his passes, had a passer rating of 30.4 and threw just 6 TDs compared to 24 INTs
His per game average was: 6 of 17, 108 yards, 1/2 TD, 2 INTs
1971
Had a passer rating of 59.7 and threw 13 TDs compared to 22 INTs
His per game average was: 14 of 27, 161 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs
1972
Completed 47% of his passes, had a passer rating of 64.1 and threw as many INTS as he did TDs
His per game average was: 10 of 22, 135 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
1973
Completed 49% of his passes, had a passer rating of 54.5 and threw 10 TDs compared to 15 INTs
His per game average was: 9 of 18, 118 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs
1974
Completed 45% of his passes, had a passer rating of 55.2 and threw 7 TDs compared to 8 INTs
His per game average was: 8 of 19, 98 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
1976
Completed 48% of his passes, had a passer rating of 65.4 and threw 10 TDs compared to 9 INTs
His per game average was: 9 of 19, 118 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
1977
Completed 51% of his passes, had a passer rating of 71.4 and threw more INTs than TDs
His per game average was: 11 of 22, 180 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
In 1975, he had the best season of his career, (stat wise), completing 57.7% of his passes, had a 2 to 1 TD/INT ratio, and a passer rating of 88.0. Those are not GREAT numbers.
In 78, he threw a career high 28 TDs, but also had 20 INTs
In 79, threw 26 TDS, but also 25 INTs
In 80, he threw 24 TDs to 22 INTs, while only completing 51% of his passes

We would not have used him, to discover the universe...just to play football.
He, obviously, would have been great.
When judging someone, be fair, keep the "reason" in focus.
I am sure, as smart as we all are, that we are stupid in something outside our expertise.
when the big game came, he played big...
can not take that from him.
I am glad to have had Bert Jones as an option too. Inagine Bert Jones/ Terry Bradsahw combination.
Also, this man speaks up for LSU and the state of Louisisns when he can, even in opposition to his idiot comrade sportcasters. If for no other reason, we should support him, he supports LSU.
Quit insulting a FRIEND of LSU.

I'm old enough to remember that the 70's offense wasn't about passing, it was about running the ball. Pitt had Franco and Rocky so Bradshaw gave them the ball a lot. Bradshaw was a north-south passer, not east-west like Archie Manning was so Bradshaw didn't pad his stats like some QBs. Yes, his first three years were tough, but to call him over-rated from simply looking at stats is ridiculous.

How did Terry Bradshaw not get into LSU?
I went to Tech 1967-1969. Went to the Miss State game. La Tech beat Miss State 10-7 the same year Miss State beat LSU (1968). Heard Paul Harvey predict that he was going to be the number 1 draft choice. Also, there was talk about him even being a Heisman candidate. There has always been people critical and jealous , but I can't be more proud of him now for the way he supports and plugs for this state.

I was waiting for someone to mention the ole "Duck Commander". Phil told me he played with TB, but I don't think he would have kept him off the field. Posted on 1/27/08 at 9:31 am to Northeast Tiger

Absolutely....
also a point well made in an above message.
In those days, "passing" was a secondary tool, not nearly the important part of the game it is today. The Stats do not reflect the times.
Go back and look at Charlie Mac's ofensive play calling.

He also gave the opposing team defense the ball alot with all the INTs he threw.
I dont care what decade you look at, completing less than half your passes, and throwing more INTs than TDs is not great.
A career passer rating of 70.9 = not good. Otto Graham played in the 40's & 50's and his rating was 86.6, so you cant say Bradshaw's pathetic rating is due to the time he played.

Been told that DC wouldn't say anything negative because of the type person he is, but have been told he was a much better QB that TB, like them both and looks like it turned out good for both.

speedy: Are your implying that he was not a winner? Sometime stats are deceiving. Would you have rather him having great stats and no Super Bowl Wins ? Did he contribute, or wasn't he an intrigal part of the Steelers success. Untill Peyton won a Super Bowl, they were questioning his greatness in spite of his stats.
