More so than any other position in football, and perhaps in all of sports, quarterbacks are judged by how much they win, in particular how many Super Bowl titles they have. When you think of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, be it Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, Johnny Unitas, Brett Favre, etc., one thing they all have in common is at least one Super Bowl ring. Back in the 1970s, when the NFL-AFL merger had only recently happened and the Super Bowl was still in its infancy, two of the dominant teams of that era were the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys, both of whom were led by Hall of Fame quarterbacks in Terry Bradshaw and Roger Staubach. Thinking back on their careers and how each quarterback led their respective team to multiple Super Bowl victories (as contemporaries and rivals, they even faced each other twice in the Super Bowl), the question is:
Who was better – Terry Bradshaw or Roger Staubach?
