Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw says Kenny Pickett ‘is the answer at QB:’ Pittsburgh must fix offensive line

Terry Bradshaw knows the Steelers have to make sweeping changes this offseason. He doesn’t feel those changes should include a switch at starting quarterback, however. 

Bradshaw, a Hall of Fame quarterback and former league MVP who won four Super Bowls with the Steelers, feels that some of Pittsburgh’s issues could be resolved if it provides more support this offseason around second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett. Pickett helped lead the Steelers to a 7-4 start before an injury sidelined him for the past 2.5 games. Pittsburgh (7-7) hasn’t won since Pickett left the starting lineup. 

“They have got to draft offensive linemen and protect their quarterback,” Bradshaw said on “Fox NFL Sunday.” “Kenny Pickett is the answer at quarterback. … You’ve got to improve that offensive line.” 

Pickett hasn’t been perfect, but the Steelers have been a significantly better team with him in the starting lineup over the past two seasons. Pittsburgh won its last six games that Pickett started and finished last season. The Steelers then won seven of their first 11 games this season with Pickett under center.
