Bradshaw's stats in the post-season are hardly horrible, even if you don't adjust for the changes in the game over the last, ohhh...40 years or so.

Anywho, QBs seem pretty important when you take into account the fact that franchises that are lauded by the people (such as the Packers/Steelers/49ers) seem to go decades without winning it all between the HOF QBs that emerge. Seattle managed to win with a 3rd stringer rather than wait until they were 2-14 and throwing a "can't miss kid" into an amazingly bad situation and that just gives everyone an excuse to say "My favorite QB coulda done that!"
