That's right, sports fans, 4th year QB Bruce Gradkowski will be stepping into the cross-fire that is the Raydurz offense, and boy does this guy have Stellar Cellar Credentials.
He started 11 games for the Bootineers in 2006-7, got CUT by the Lambs in 2008 preseason, latched onto the Brownies for the season, as the 4th string QB, and started their season finale last year. That's right, he's played for the 3 worst teams in the league and is now playing for a sinking pirate ship of fools. The combined records of these teams is 5-31. He's worn #5, 7 and 8 (some punter must have had 6) and if he's not on the Kittens next year, something is wrong, and all theories about fate must be discredited.
Gradkowski was a star QB at Toledo in college, and started off very well for Tampa Bay, after Chris Simms ruptured his spleen (I tell ya, the competition for starting in this league is ROUGH), but then it all slid into the kind of play we now expect from the Boots, and he was benched during a Bears game, and never came back. His total record for starts is 3-8. Sounds about right, don't you think??
Mr. Cellar is getting his start because there's no Jeff Garcia. Garcia was the back-up in camp, until he realized that he was about to be back-up to the most flabby QB in the league on the most poisonous team in the NFL. Run before the Silver and Black gets into your bloodstream!
So, welcome Bruce Gradkowski, Mr. Cellar. Hooray!!
Wow, a new star-fish in the cellar. Those are mighty big credentials. Looks like the Raydurz will not win this weekend. Bengals are on their game right now. Should be a blowout.
ReplyDeleteThe Raiders don't get blown out, much. Their defense isn't half-bad. Honestly, if their offense had any kind of mojo, they'd of won half of their games by now easily. The Raiders will keep it close, but Gradkowski will throw the killer interception at the right moment.
ReplyDeletewait a minute. I guess getting blown out 4 times is MUCH, ain't it? Bengals could make it 52-3.
