Bradshaw Criticizes Steelers for Mishandling Quarterback Kenny Pickett
The Pittsburgh Steelers have struggled to develop a consistent franchise quarterback since Ben Roethlisberger's retirement, exemplified by their handling of Kenny Pickett, their 2022 first-round pick. Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw has been vocal in criticizing the organization for not supporting Pickett properly, arguing that the team failed to surround him with the talent needed to succeed and gave up on him too quickly after just two seasons. Pickett posted moderate stats but was hampered by a poor offensive scheme and lack of investment in key positions, such as the offensive line, as well as coaching instability. After being traded to the Philadelphia Eagles and then the Cleveland Browns, Pickett is now in contention for the starting quarterback role with the Browns for the 2025 season. Bradshaw also cited examples like Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold, who struggled early but found success when given adequate support, reinforcing his point that the Steelers' mismanagement, not Pickett's talent alone, contributed to his struggles. The Steelers' ongoing quarterback instability continues as they enter the 2025 season with Aaron Rodgers, raising questions about the franchise's future direction at the position.
