I could go with that list for the most part, but with a couple changes: First, insert God at QB (ok, that does actually spell Bradshaw) my take on the "best QB" thing is this: The Steelers have always been *and hopefully will remain so* a run first offense. So when Terry threw, EVERYONE knew a pass was coming it seemed, and yet it still worked. Also, you were allowed to play serious defense back in the day, something these "West Coast Offense"-loving, primadonnas don't understand today.
The other major change I'd have to make is at cornerback. I have a strange way of looking at things: I like a defensive player who actually *can* tackle, (oh yeah, and I detest showboaters) thus in place of Sanders I'd have to agree with the NFL's 75 year All Time Team and pick Rod Woodson at CB. Yeah, you may not have wanted to throw in either his or Sander's areas, but if you didn't Rod would bring the corner blitz like no one's business and he also helped stuff the run.
As a last, there should be room on the D-line for a gentleman some of you may have heard of.........Mean Joe Greene.

Okay, Eric, I'm not sure, correct me if I'm wrong, but you would seem to be a Steeler's fan. [:D]
Point by point:
Bradshaw was a winner, but I stand by him needing his supporting cast moreso than some other all-time greats. Plus, he only finished with 2 more TDs in his career than INTs; he was not one of the most accurate throwers, always hovering around 50% completion ratio.
TDs INTs Comp % Games played
Bradshaw 212 210 51.9 168
Staubach 153 109 57.0 131
Montana 273 139 63.2 192
Elway 300 226 56.9 234
About Deion Sanders; I can't disagree with his tackling, uhhh, skills LOL. Thank God corners play near the sideline! But I've never seen anyone cover like him, and he was electrifying when returning kicks. But no, I wouldn't have a problem with Woodson being picked, he's one of the all-time best, and the most complete DB.
Joe Who? [X(]
Kidding aside, Greene was to be my pick if I had put Reggie White at DE.
