Did his game moment include any of the players below that made his myth? That is such an incredible yards per attempt jump from Bradshaw(and Bradshaw was an established five year veteran with an established baseline of performance, hmmm).
With Bradshaw being mediocre, his team was 17th ranked in offense ........................ADD FRANCO HARRIS THE NEXT YEAR...............
With Bradshaw STILL being mediocre, then they were 5th ranked offensively.
With 'normal' Wide Receivers as his starters, Bradshaw's yearly yard per attempt was
6.5 6.1 6.1 6.6 5.3 ADD SWANN AND STALLWORTH AS STARTERS, HIS YARDS PER ATTEMPT JUMPED TO: 7.2 6.1(partial season. His sub went 6-0 and had a y/a of 8.9!!) 8.0 7.9
This is not even accounting for any offensive line additions that helped him as well.
It is very obvious why Bradshaw 'got better', both with the numbers and with watching those games. Harris, Swann, and Stallworth. Bradshaw was nothing special before them.
All his Super Bowl big passes went to one of those two guys that clearly made him.
