...and would Ken Anderson be in the Hall of Fame if he had played for the Steelers during those years?

No Terry Bradshaw would not be in the Hall of Fame if he played for the Bengals. Terry Bradshaw was not a great of QB as Ken Anderson, Is name is more well know than Ken Anderson because of the players for the the great cacth by Franco Harris RB, Lynn Swann WR, Frank Lewis WR, John Stallworth WR, Mean Joe Green DT, Jack Lambert LB, Jack Banaszak DE, Jack Ham LB, Mel Blount CB # 11 interceptions in 1975 and on and on that Chuck Noll knew how to put a team totgether. During that era when Pittsburgh was so good with what won them the games really other players. Ken Anderson work with what he had even if he did have Archie Giffin Heisman Trophy winner took the pressure of Ken he still led the NFL in passing 2 years in a roll even when Pittsburgh beat them if Ken Anderson was the QB for Pittsburgh they would of won more Super Bowls than Terry Bradshaw help get. So i know thats a long way around the (bush) NO to Terry Bradshaw, YES to Ken Anderson.

Yes. I agree here. I was just watching sport center and they were talking about the struggles the Steelers are having and they never mentioned once the words "Antwaan Randel El, and Jerome Bettis." Randel El, through a TD pass in the Super Bowl and The Bus ran for one in the super boowl game. At the end the Steelers were up less then 2 TD. Important players in that game from the Steelers.

Easy one! There is no doubt whatsoever that the 1985 Bear would crush today's or the 2006 Bears.\n\nThe 1985 team was far more resourceful; it also had much better depth at each position. In 1985 one didn't ask, "...if Grossman is on..." because even if McMahon wasn't on one didn't wonder about the win--it was more of a question of by how much.\n\nPersonally, I believe that the 85' Chicago Bears were one of, if not the best football team of all time. They were also the team that started the "Demolition Derby" Super Bowl by just crushing the Pats, by the way, who was an excellent team.\n\nWhen push comes to shove, 85' had Big Mike Ditka who revolutionized the game by doing what it took to win all the way to the "Fridge".

Every team at that level in today's game would blow away those past legends.  Vast improvements in sports science / technology , diet, training methods and tactics have made today's players adopt a more professional approach to the game.  Their increased speed and endurance and tactical awareness would stand out a mile.  However I would love to see that 70's team with today's facilities at their disposal!

I will say yes, he already is a Hall of Fame player. That said, he should also retire, though it would be tough to do because of injury. He has had a great career, and it would be foolish for him to risk his long-term health further.

Doesn't matter...He'll always be a legend!!  I saw "8 Men Out".  That movie and others ("Field of Dreams") keep him legendary.  Hall of Fame or not...He'll never be forgotten.

STEELERS fan forever...through thick and thin!

Joe Namath was a mother fu*** pimp back in the day.  His stats don't add up to some other quarterbacks, but his coolness factor is unmatched.  He was probably the first "rebellious" professional athelete.  He had leadership skills and balls.  Sometimes to win in football, that's all you need.  Numbers don't always tell the entire story.

I don't think so.. In the NFL it takes a lot longer for a Defensive player to make a huge impact look at some of the greats D. Brooks, R. Lewis, and B. Urlacher..they were all decent their first year but really exploded in their second season and every year after that ...I think he'll be ok..as far as Bush goes he is doing very well in N.O. considering how they are using him..If he was in Texas it would be a different story no shared carries or playing time might have led to huge numbers..Hope this helped..

yes ben roethlisburger.\n\nSteelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger currently is undergoing surgery for injuries suffered in a Monday morning automobile accident.\n\nDr. Larry Jones of Mercy Hospital declined to offer any details regarding the nature of the surgery.\n\nRoethlisberger is listed in serious but stable condition. Dr. Jones said that Roethlisberger was alert and talking before the commencement of the procedure.\n\nReporters on WTAE are speculating that Roethlisberger is having surgery to repair jaw injuries.\n__________________\n\nother conflicting reports are saying he is bleeding into his brain.\n\nhere are my vview on things:\nI'm reading through some of the comments about this situation "I hope it's not serious", "gee that's too bad, we hope he'll be all right"..."he's a great player, hope he can still play"... but I can't help thinking "what a waste."\n\nHow many of us would love to be living a dream, to be a pro football player, making millions? This kid is already on record as the youngest QB ever to win a Superbowl, he's got his whole life and career in front of him, and he doesn't care to protect all that he has to live for?\n\nOne article I read mentions how players past and present, as well as his coach have appealed to him to reconsider his celebration of freedom in not having to wear a helmet. Fellow Americans presumably equally in support of "freedom" yet were also able to consider what he potentially had to lose if he should meet in an accident.\n\nAnd here we are. The article I read said "injuries do not appear life-threatening." Will he play again? Sheesh, we are not out of the woods of whether he'll have a sound mind again, let alone make critical decisions with a blitzing linebacker zeroing in on him.\n\nAs a fan, this player attitude has always bugged me. The discussion issue to which I'm referring is whether athletes, paid by fans, should have some obligation to the fans. Ticket prices go up when big name players are signed, and if they are injured - especially preventable injuries - why shouldn't ticket prices go down and let insurance pay their salary, or refuse it if they insist on taking unnecessary risks?\n\nCase in point - at the beginning of this last NHL season, Toronto Maple Leaf captain Mats Sundin gets hit in the eye. He refuses to wear facial protection, and he's out for the first month. Duh.\n\nLike everyone else in the sports world, I join in wishing Big Ben a full recovery. I hope we get to see him continue what many are now confident must be a hall of fame career. Do I feel sorry for him? Sure...but, for crying out loud, at what point do we hold people accountable for taking unnecessary risks? Wearing a helmet might have rendered this a great story about how he had the accident yet was ok.\n\nThis may not be a popular position, but heck, don't we as parents get upset with our 7 year olds for playing near the stairs or not looking both ways before crossing the street? If we expect kids to make smarter decisions in the interest of their own safety, why is it so easy to make excuses for "adults"?

I truly believe that the Seahawks' talented but young team would have no chance against the Steelers.\n\nThe Seahawks defense has not shown the ability to smother a top offense the way that Joey Porter and the Steelers have done.\n\nBen Roethlisberger won more playoff games in his rookie season than Matt Hasselbeck won in his career before this year. This is more of a reflection on the Seahawks in general than upon Hasselbeck, but that kind of experience is invaluable, and it is difficult to win a championship without it.\n\nThe Seahawks clearly have a one of the best NFL running backs in Shaun Alexander, but I believe that much of his success can be attributed to Coach Holmgren's version of the passing-based west coast offense. Therefore, it can be assumed that Pittsburgh can take the air out of Alexander's tires if they are able to fluster Hasselbeck to the degree that they were able to fluster Peyton Manning and Jake Plummer.

I agree, from watching him this season, it appears that he can still play at a high level. However, Bettis has to consider more than just his level of play with this decision. Personally, is he satisfied? Does he still have the drive to play? Is it still worth all the pain and hard work, and not being with his family? I'm sure the Steelers would welcome him back, but they do have two capable backs in Willie Parker and Duce Staley (if healthy).

PHIL SIMMS? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH\nHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH\nAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. ok im done. ok now how hi were you when u wrote that response. Simms isnt even good enough to make the hall of fame. Phil simms was nothing more than a below avg qb who had the best ground game in the league and the best defense ever.o and the niners and if the niners and giants were so good in the early nineties how come the cowboys went to 4 straight nfc title games from 92 -95 and won 3 super bowls in that time? i dont even want to waste any more breath bout that ridiculous answer now as for my top three the argument usually is rings or stats u like stats u go with marino u like rings u go with montana however i think that since football is the ultamate team sport marino is better b/c if u put him on the best offense ever ( dallas of the early 90's) i think dallas would have won like 6 super bowls in 7 years not to anything away from aik he was great but marino is the best so its marino numero uno then probably montana and then i wuld have to say Elway

Bill Coward is a schmuck. He's gonna retire at the end of the year... he should have retired after the super bowl... he's in the last year of his contract, he's gonna finish 3-13 and not be offered a contract after this season. From Hero to Zero to Coward. Quite the season!

I think that the Steelers are the stupidest team in the league.  As for the Bus I am glad he retired the is no way that he could last another season.  He couldnt even get out of bed in the morning after a game.

I will argue that the Steelers have a very good chance to win the Super Bowl again. The players they lost have been replace already by outstanding players.  At Safety either Clark Ryan (picked from the Redskins) or Tyrone Carter should cover Chris Hope.  Brett Keisel played great in the playoff and will do fine at defensive Tackle.  Santonio Holmes was drafted in the 1st round for the sole purpose to become a great wide receiver, it was sad to see Randle El leave, but we will be fine. Bettis departure was the best way a player could retire, he won a Super Bowl. I don't think the bus had any more gas to keep going anyways.  Duce Staley and Willie Parker will fill the back field just find or even better this year. As for Big Ben he is just getting wiser and better in running the offense. Watch out it's going to be interesting season, I predict back to back Superbowl Champs!
