In 1974, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw got off to a rough start early in the season and was benched in favor of Joe Gilliam. Gilliam would complete 96 of 212 passes in 1974. Gilliam did not do much better than Terry. By the end of the season Bradshaw had earned his job back on was on his way towards helping the Steelers win their first Super Bowl. Bradshaw completed only 67/148 passes that season but with the Steel Curtain that was all that was needed.
