Terry Bradshaw has openly criticized the Pittsburgh Steelers’ interest in acquiring Aaron Rodgers, labeling it as a “joke.” Speaking on 103.7 The Buzz, he questioned the team’s strategy, suggesting that bringing in Rodgers for just one year is impractical. Bradshaw also insinuated that Rodgers would be better off in California, indicating that the team should focus on developing younger talents instead.
He expressed support for Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett, whom he admired during his college career at Pitt. Bradshaw argued that Pittsburgh did not provide the necessary protection and support for Pickett, lacking an effective offensive line and adequate receiving options. He believes the issues surrounding the offense have unfairly cast Pickett as a failure when, in reality, it was the organization’s shortcomings that hampered his development.
Despite the Steelers’ interest in Rodgers, Bradshaw suggests that their flawed offensive strategy has led to disappointing results and that the team’s failures should not be attributed to Pickett alone. He advocates for giving Pickett another chance, highlighting the need for improved team dynamics and support.
While the Steelers seem willing to invest time in Rodgers for potential future success, Bradshaw questions what that success would entail—whether simply reaching the playoffs or striving for higher aspirations like a championship. Ultimately, he implies that the Steelers must have a clearer vision of what constitutes success moving forward, rather than relying on an aging quarterback to rectify past mistakes.
