Terry Bradshaw has seldom shied away from criticizing his former team. That hasn't changed.
In a radio interview with 103.7 The Buzz in Arkansas on Tuesday, Bradshaw ripped the Steelers to shreds for the prolonged pursuit of signing Aaron Rodgers.
"That's a joke. That to me is just a joke," Bradshaw said. "What are you going to do? Bring him in for one year, are you kidding me? That guy needs to stay in California. Go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there."
Not only did Bradshaw take the opportunity to criticize the Steelers on their desire to sign Rodgers, but was also very critical over how they handled Kenny Pickett, who was drafted in the first round immediately after Ben Roethlisberger retired.
"I liked Kenny Pickett," Bradshaw said. "I liked him at Pitt. I know him, I know what he's like. When they got him to Pittsburgh, they didn't protect him, they didn't get him an offensive line. They wanted to run the football, but they didn't have an offensive line that could protect and they didn't have weapons. He had no wide receivers to speak of. ... Then they throw a kid in there for two years, and you've got an offense that doesn't fit and doesn't work, and they can't run because their offensive line's not even good enough for a run-blocking team. Now, they're saying Kenny Pickett is a failure. He wasn't a failure, the Steelers were a failure."
