Gradkowski takes over in 2012?
Do you really think that could even remotely pan out? Even worse, I don't think any of those players can win it. Garcia has proven that he needs to have a fantastic team to win, he doesn't have that in Tampa.
I'd take Culpepper in a heart beat over those bums.

Well, Simms would be released or traded by 31, but yeah to each his own and thats my evaluation. What do you mean they cannot win it? All they need is to manage the game and not lose it with a solid running game and a defense. Look at Trent Dilfer and Ben Rothlisburger. I am not saying that Ben is a bad QB, but he didn't have to win games with his arm.

Well, Trent had one of the best defenses of all time.
Ben had a good year in 05, 62.7% comp, 17tds and only 9 ints in 13 games. While he didn't "win it with his arm", he did a good job. Also, while his SB performance sucked, he threw for 6 tds and only 1 int in the 3 postseason games.
Tampa doesn't have those types of teams, and Roethlisberger is better than all of those guys (and I correctly labelled Ben as overrated before he faltered)

Tampa Bay isn't that far off from being one of those teams. Even in their last SB appearance it was the strength of their Defense and running game that got them there. They just need to reload the Defense a little. They already have a solid running game.
