To get beat out by Fiedler?

Carry a clipboard? Rattay has never been the backup here, and never will be.

He was a very marginal short-term starter in SF, and has no future in the NFL as a starter, and is not reliable as a backup for a playoff caliber team.

Rattay's contract was too big to carry as a backup, he needs to be released, but they needed another QB on the roster before that could happen.

Nice analysis but they are going to wait and see if Fiedler heals from his injury first; also how much money do the bucs save by cutting Rattay?

Judging from Gruden's praise, Gradkowski seems a good bet to stick as QB2, which leaves Rattay and Fiedler battling for the 2nd slot (given McCown's knee injury).

Disagree. No way Gruden puts a playoff team's chances in the hands of a rookie. Consider the running game and defense, and a veteran who can avoid mistakes is what he will look to if Simms goes down.Now if they start 2-9, it may be a different story.

Boy, Gradkowski is sure gettin' some love.

I'd say this signals the end of Rattay, and Gradkowski is the #3, probably to be inactive all year.

Simms is the guy, Fieldler can hold the fort in case of injury, and Gradkowski is the cheapo developmental guy. Pretty standard.

Correction: Gradkowski seems a good bet to stick as QB3...i.e., on the active roster with either Fiedler or Rattay as the backup (the other being cut).

Brain fart.
