If you get HBO watch the Bradshaw special. It shows why patience is valuable. They ask what the most important thing he learned in football was. He said building a team with the same work ethic. There’s a message there for Murray. BTW watch how Bradshaw’s deep passes are thrown to let the receivers run under them, not low angle, line drive passes. Good program.

Bradshaw was never a rocket scientist, that was obvious. But the Steelers gave him every weapon he needed on BOTH sides of the ball. In the history of the NFL, the truly great QB’s also had truly great weapons.

Of all of the criticisms of Kyler, his throw of the deep ball is toward the bottom of the list...

Yeah I always considered him a good player on a great team. Swann, Stallworth, Benny Cunningham, Franco Harris, the Steel Curtain defense, he even had 1-2 HOFers on the OL. He was good but he was on a loaded team.

Also shows you how things changed, when he came into the league rookie QB's never started and it took years before they were allowed to audible and call their own plays.

Of course the rules were totally different too
