TERRY TAKES UP FOR TIM
By all accounts, Terry Bradshaw wasn't upset when rumors of his demise circulated a couple of months ago. In contrast, however, he's pissed off that fellow Lousiana Tech alum Tim Rattay currently has no job.
"I don't understand it," Bradshaw said earlier this week. "Tim isn't a problem, he's a great guy in the locker room. He played great those last four games in Tampa Bay last season and he doesn't get a chance?
"They made a mistake," Bradshaw said of the Bucs' decision to bring in a boatload of quarterbacks but not bring back Rattay. "The West Coast offense needs a guy who's smart, accurate and can throws passes to the right people. That's Tim."
At a time when there really aren't that many great quarterbacks available, we tend to agree with Bradshaw. Why haven't the Raiders called Rattay? Or the Vikings?
In Minnesota, Rattay instantly would go to the top of the depth chart. And he likely could "manage" a game far better than former starter Brad Johnson, who primarily "managed" to throw a bunch of stupid interceptions last year.
Rattay turned 30 last month, and still has at least five or six years in his arm. Maybe more. So we agree with Bradshaw; the fact that Rattay isn't on an NFL roster really makes no sense.
I think he would be the best option for us to back up JP next season.
