Pittsburgh Steelers legend expresses love for this quarterback for his former team.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are split on who should take over as QB in 2024, with internal friction reportedly affecting the team’s decision. Kenny Pickett, the team’s 20th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, is expected to face competition for the position, as his performance doesn’t support his draft pedigree.
Former Steelers legend su
ggests that the quarterback situation in Pittsburgh is not as bad as commonly believed.
Terry Bradshaw stated that the Pittsburgh Steelers have their franchise quarterback, Kenny Pickett.
Pittsburgh Steelers QBs Terry Bradshaw and Ben Roethlisberger are considered the top contenders for great quarterback play, but the future now lies with Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph, or unknown entrants.
The speaker admires Pickett, a competitive and tough-minded quarterback, and suggests surrounding him with talented players like Justin Fields. They suggest building up Pickett’s skills, including a receiver, tight end, tackler, guard, and smart outsiders, to ensure he excels in a passing league. They suggest focusing on his running and catch ability.
Bradshaw’s perspective on the Steelers’ situation may cause division among their fanbase, those who support Pickett, and those who are open to change.
Teams often quickly switch players after two seasons, as seen with Pickett and Rudolph, who were drafted in 2018 and finally looked their best in 2023.
The Steelers’ young QB, Pickett, will be 26 next season, and their current protection and pass-catching weapons may not be enough to feel confident in their performance.
The Steelers should rebuild their roster, not start over at QB, to ensure success with a new QB, regardless of their experience, and bolster the offense’s talent.
The Steelers face increased competition, putting pressure on Pickett to improve and remain on the roster, despite Bradshaw’s wish.
