I found it interesting that the Steelers had so many players with four Super Bowl rings, the Niners, a decade later, had about a quarter as many, and then two decades after that, only Brady managed to win four with the Patriots. I think it says something about team stability over the ages. It also says something about Brady, that he could win Super Bowls with the entire team turning over around him.

A couple stats to consider:
The Niners had 16 consecutive years of double digit wins.
The Steelers had 9 consecutive winning seasons.
Walsh built his program around sustained success by turning over the roster. His mantra, “better to move them out a year too early rather than a year too late” says it all.
Pittsburgh was like a shooting star, a short burst that was loaded with tons of power.
A very short and simplistic look but one that may summarize why there is such a difference between the two franchises in their respective golden eras.
