Ben Roethlisberger is by far the best quarterback since Terry Bradshaw. He already has 2 Super Bowl rings. Ben is second on the Steelers in career passing yards, touchdowns and completions. He has the best completion percentage and passer rating in Steeler history. He is expected to be the best Steelers quarterback by the time his career ends.
Roethlisberger only 28, has achieved much more with much less talent around him that Bradshaw did. Compare Joe Greene, Mel Blount, Jack Lambert, Jack Ham, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Franco Harris, and Mike Webster to Hines Ward, James Harrison, and Troy Polamalu. Bradshaw had much more talent on his team.
With a career passer rating of under 71, Bradshaw had one of the lowest passer ratings for a Superbowl winning quarterback. He ended his career with 2 more touchdowns that interceptions.
However, Roethlisberger is into to much legal trouble that sometimes limits his play time.
