Fans reacted strongly to Bradshaw’s statement. Many older Steelers supporters felt a sense of nostalgia, remembering the grit and brilliance of quarterbacks from previous eras, while Jets and Packers fans celebrated the recognition of their star. Social media buzzed with discussions about whether Rodgers truly is the last representative of that “old era,” with names like Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Peyton Manning often mentioned as Rodgers’ peers who have since retired. For many, the idea that Rodgers is still standing tall after so many years of competition makes Bradshaw’s words ring true.
What makes the moment even more notable is Bradshaw’s own history of being critical toward modern quarterbacks. In the past, he has often emphasized toughness, mental strength, and the ability to handle pressure without complaint. For him to highlight Rodgers as the last symbol of that toughness and old-school mentality says a lot about the respect Rodgers has earned even from legends of the game.

The NFL community now finds itself reflecting on what Rodgers represents. He is not only a future Hall of Famer but also a living link to a style of quarterbacking that valued precision, courage, and an iron will to win. As Bradshaw noted, younger quarterbacks may have talent and athleticism, but Rodgers brings a certain timeless quality to the game that feels rare in today’s NFL.
For Rodgers himself, hearing such compliments from a legend like Terry Bradshaw will undoubtedly be meaningful. The recognition cements his place not only among the greats of his own era but also as a symbol of what defined NFL excellence for decades. As the Jets continue their journey with Rodgers at the helm, Bradshaw’s praise has added a new layer of respect to his already remarkable legacy.
