The Tampa Bay Buccaneers like what they have at quarterback, but they also felt the need to make an addition to the position.
They are confident in Chris Simms as he prepares for his first opening-day start, but they also feel better after the addition of Jay Fiedler and his veteran know-how.
The Bucs have youth, enthusiasm, drive and a cannon arm in Simms. They have experienced reserves in Fiedler and Tim Rattay. They have balance, depth and future promise. They have a plan to get through the 2006 season.
And they also have Bruce Gradkowski.
That’s almost a separate matter altogether. Though stranger things have happened, the Buccaneers aren’t likely to be relying on Gradkowski this season. The rookie from Toledo isn’t expected to challenge Simms as the starter this summer, and most young passers in Gradkowski’s position find themselves filling the inactive third QB slot on fall game days. And even that role will have to be earned in August.
