When it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback situation, franchise icon Terry Bradshaw strongly believes that Kenny Pickett is still the answer for the team.
Pittsburgh Steelers Legend Sounds Off On Team’s QB Issues
The four-time Super Bowl champion, during a recent appearance on the “The Rich Eisen Show,” did not hold back in voicing out his opinion on what should the Steelers do with Pickett and that’s to stick with the 2022 first-round pick. Bradshaw also made it clear that if it was up to him, the Steelers wouldn’t entertain the thought of trading for Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (h/t Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports).
“You don’t need Fields,” Bradshaw said. “Stay with what you got. Just build (Pickett) up. Get him another receiver. Give him an explosive tight end. Give him another tackle, give him a guard. Have the ability to protect him. And give him guys on the outside. This is a passing league, now. Get him people out there that can run and catch the football that are smart.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been among the many teams rumored as a potential trade landing spot for Fields, who has job security issues in Windy City to worry about on his own. The Steelers have said they’re committed to Pickett, but it’s also fair for them to look for upgrades under center when there’s an opportunity for them to do so ahead of the 2024 NFL season. Apart from making a trade for a quarterback, they can also get a new signal-caller via the 2024 NFL Draft where they have the 20th pick overall.
Pickett has played for just two seasons so far in the pros, and he’s likely not hit his ceiling yet. If the Steelers end up going with him as their Week 1 starter in 2024, it’s also probably his prove-it year for Pittsburgh, which has not progressed past the wild-card round in any of the last six seasons.
