Terry Bradshaw, never one to mince words, made his opinion abundantly clear regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers' apparent interest in quarterback Aaron Rodgers. "That’s a joke," Bradshaw quipped on 103.7 The Buzz in Little Rock, Arkansas. "That is just to me is a joke. What are you gonna do? Bring him in for one year? Are you kidding me?"
Bradshaw’s candid remarks suggest a deep skepticism about the Steelers' strategy, especially when considering their handling of 2022 first-round pick Kenny Pickett. The Hall of Famer voiced support for Pickett, praising his potential and lamenting the Steelers' lack of support. "I liked Kenny Pickett," Bradshaw remarked. "I liked him at Pitt. What they didn’t do was protect him. They didn’t give him an offensive line. He had no wide receivers to speak of."
The critique continued as Bradshaw dissected the Steelers' offensive shortcomings, explaining how they failed to provide an environment conducive to success for Pickett. "He had no weapons," Bradshaw added. "An offense that doesn’t fit, doesn’t work... their offensive line’s not even good enough for a run-blocking team."
The Steelers apparently remain patient with Rodgers, banking on his potential to rewrite narratives following a lackluster 2024 with the Jets. The question hanging over Pittsburgh: What truly counts as success? Whether it's merely making the playoffs or reaching greater heights, Rodgers must strive to turn his future season into one the Steelers can hang their hopes on.
