Chris Simms played awful and then he got so beat up that he had to have his spleen removed.  Coach Gruden then decided to give 6th round pick Bruce Gradkowski the next shot.  He played well early, but the league caught up to him and that landed him a spot on the bench.  Tim Rattay followed and he played pretty well.

Chris Simms had a horrible year before getting knocked out for the season.  Simms started 3 games and completed 58 of 106 passes (54.7%) for 585 yards with 1 TD pass and 7 interceptions (46.3 QB Rating).  He also ran the ball 4 times for 7 yards (1.8 ypc).  For his career, Simms has played in 19 games (15 starts) and he’s completed 291 of 492 passes (59.1%) for 3,087 yards with 12 TD passes and 17 interceptions (71.2 QB Rating).  He also has carried the ball 30 times for 52 yards (1.7 ypc) with 1 TD run.

Bruce Gradkowski was overmatched most of the season due to a lack of arm strength.  He played in 13 games (11 starts) and he completed 177 of 328 passes (54%) for 1,661 yards with 9 TD passes and 9 interceptions (65.9 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 41 times for 161 yards (3.9 ypc).

Tim Rattay played the best of the Bucs QBs by far.  Rattay played in 4 games (2 starts) and completed 61 of 101 passes (60.4%) for 748 yards with 4 TD passes and 2 interceptions (88.2 QB Rating).  He also ran the ball 4 times for 3 yards (0.8 ypc).  For his career, Rattay has played in 36 games (18 starts) and he’s completed 417 of 687 passes (60.7%) for 4,689 yards with 28 TD passes and 20 interceptions (82.6 QB Rating).  He also has carried the ball 43 times for 72 yards (1.7 ypc).
