Five years after he retires, Ben Roethlisberger will give the Pittsburgh Steelers two quarterbacks who are first-ballot Hall of Famers. They will be the only franchise other than the Dallas Cowboys to have had multiple quarterbacks win multiple Super Bowls. Yet according to ESPN, they rank only 11th in the NFL during the Super Bowl era at the quarterback position.
“Consider that Roethlisberger and Bradshaw have more career touchdown passes (575) than all other Steelers player combined (527) in the Super Bowl era”, a recent article reads. “There’s a huge gap between those two and the next-best Steelers QB, which you could argue is Kordell Stewart”.
