Steelers’ QBs Ranked 9th In History Of Modern Era

There aren’t a lot of teams who have more than one quarterback in the Hall of Fame or who is a lock to make the Hall of Fame shortly after he retires. The San Franciso 49ers are, of course, one of them. With current starter Ben Roethlisberger, the Pittsburgh Steelers are another. And apparently that’s enough to squeeze them into the top 10 as it concerns the best teams for quarterbacks in the modern era (from 1967 and on).

That is where a recent NFL.com list ranked the Steelers, at nine, using a criterion that necessitated that a quarterback satisfy at least two requirements for consideration, in addition to starting at least 48 games: a winning record in the regular season; a passer rating of 75.
