Terry Bradshaw has expressed strong criticism regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers’ interest in Aaron Rodgers, stating that the prospect is a “joke.” During an interview on 103.7 The Buzz, he dismissed the idea of bringing in Rodgers for a single year and suggested that he should instead remain in California. Bradshaw emphasized that the Steelers should focus on giving their 2022 first-round pick, Kenny Pickett, a fair chance as a starting quarterback. He noted Pickett’s potential and pointed out that the team failed to adequately support him, citing a lack of protection from the offensive line and insufficient offensive weapons.
According to Bradshaw, the perceived struggles of Pickett were due to the Steelers’ failures rather than the player’s capabilities. He argued that the coaching and team decisions did not align with what was necessary for Pickett’s success, ultimately branding the offensive failures as a result of poor organizational decisions.
The Steelers’ leadership seems more inclined to consider bringing in Rodgers, believing that he could lead them to success, possibly extending into the 2025 season. However, this raises questions about what success would mean for the team—whether it’s simply making the playoffs, winning a playoff game, or achieving a deeper playoff run. For Rodgers, the focus would need to be on demonstrating that his disappointing 2024 season with the Jets was an anomaly to regain confidence in his abilities. Bradshaw’s remarks underscore the tension between the potential acquisition of a veteran quarterback and the existing development of younger talent like Pickett.
