One thing to keep in mind about guys like Bradshaw is that they played in a very, very different time. We look back at his numbers now and think they aren't impressive but he did quite well for his time. He won an NFL MVP, got a first team AP, was a two time Super Bowl MVP with four Super Bowl rings overall, and was a three time Pro-Bowler. If you era adjust his numbers, an average season for Bradshaw in modern terms would have been 4,196 yards, 30 TDs and 14 INTs if you give him league average volume. Roughly a 92 QB rating. I think looking at it from this perspective helps. I don't think it is the strongest resume, but he was a good QB for his time and has impressive accolades to his name.
