    What would be your all-time Steelers backfield?

    What would be your all-time Steelers backfield? One quarterback, two running backs. It doesn't mean from the same season, so if you want to have Ben Roethlisberger with Franco Harris or Terry Bradshaw with Jerome Bettis as part of your all-time Nebraska backfield, feel free.

    One quarterback, two running backs in your Steelers all-time backfield:

    Bradshaw, Harris, Bettis

    Bell is DQ'd and Franco can do anything Bell can do, only better. Plus Franco can carry a team to the SB. Bell is a product of the system and watch him fade away very soon on another team.

    Then I’d take Harris. I think a better question would be who would you take if Ben, Bradshaw, Bettis, Bell, Harris weren’t allowed to be chosen.

    I think I’d go Kordell, Foster and Hoge...lol.

    He spent most of his time killing drives by getting dropped for a loss.

    My personal favorites:
    Ben - Bettis - Hoge

    The “best” three:
    Ben - Bell - Franco

    The “flash in the pans”:
    Tommy Maddox - Bam Morris - Barry “Bananas” Foster

    Bam Morris is a good call...would’ve been a Super Bowl mvp if not for 2 interceptions.
