You can only take one for the entire regular and postseason.

Well, since Bradshaw led the 1978 Steelers to a Super Bowl championship against the Cowboys, and then he did a repeat in 1979 against the Rams.........I pick Bradshaw over Romo. Not to mention that Romo wasn't even born until April, 1980.......I'll pick a living QB every time over the gleam in some man's eye!.....Am I missing something here?!?!?😵
I think Hydrant pretty much summed it up perfectly.
This one gets filed under W in the file cabinet for 'Weird question'.
Better question is which one you'd want in 1976 and 1977. Since the Steelers won in 1978 and 1979 you obviously take the bird in the hand with Bradshaw. But a good quarterback might have helped the Steelers in their "out" years, particularly in 1977 when Bradshaw crapped the bed in their playoff game.
To answer the question, I would say Bradshaw. He took the Steelers to the promised land those 2 seasons so I see no reason to replace him in those moments in time.
Bradshaw led the league during the regular season in TD's in 78.
Terry Bradshaw was AMAZING!!

I’ll rephrase.
You want a 28 year old Bradshaw or Romo leading Romos postseason Dallas teams ?
I am a big Romo fan, but I'll go with Bradshaw on the one..

But I will say that having followed Romo pretty closely, it's unfortunate that his body gave out when it did. He got his pro start a little late, and it took him awhile to master the game. When he retired, and was unable to perform physically, he was just rounding into shape 100% mentally.
I agree that Romo in the last couple of seasons before he retired was really getting the hang of it. Body gave out too quickly.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

Romo's injuries were severe. But he was a gamer and played through a lot of pain. He actually had incredible athleticism. His last few years I would hear reports of him sometimes getting around with a walker, and we are talking about less than a week before a game. When he retired he was just reaching that elite mental level. His work on tv, which I love and some hate, in my opinion shows how far his mind had come. Living here i the Dallas area, it was only a few years ago that I figured out how to stream games and watch the ones I really wanted to, including the Pats every week. I got here in 2006 so I was able to watch all of his time as a starter. He really has a pretty amazing story, going from undrafted to what he became.
I tended to not really like him as a QB, maybe due to his physical limitations, but I think he's a very upbeat and intuitive and insightful announcer. He's much smarter than most of the "color" guys.
