Straight from the boss's mouth:

Basically, Coach Gruden felt that it was in the best interest of the team to start Gradkowski because he liked the way he moved the ball, but he's struggling a lot lately. He said that he contemplated starting Tim several times in the past. He can't dwell on the past. Time to move forward with Tim.
Good luck, Timmy!
Gruden is a dumbass. I can't believe it has taken him this long to figure this out.
Congrats, Tim!
The news is coming fast-and-furious. This was posted while I made the initial post:

Also, what is your take on Tim's post game interview? It seemed to me that he was either uncomfortable with doing interviews or he was simply hacked that it has taken this long for him to start. He did say that he wants to start ever game, though. I think that's a politically correct way of saying that he hates to ride-the-pine!
Here's the postgame interview:

It took orchestrating the biggest comeback rally in franchise history for Tim to finally get the starting job. Crazy.
My connection is too slow to stream the video, so I can't really comment on that.
I'm glad he's gonna get to play.
Recap
IT SUCKS TO LOSE!!!!!!!! I really love playing the game. IT SUCKS TO LOSE!!!!!!!!! The offensive line played awsome. IT SUCK TO LOSE!!!!!!!!! The receivers did a great job. IT SUCKS TO LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!! There's no moral victories! IT SUCKS TO LOSE!!!!!!!!!!
IMO, he didn't seems uncomfortable to me. Seemed like he really didn't want to talk about how good he played because they still lost.
He may not come across as being a tough competitor to the average fan, however, I seriously doubt there's a player on that team that wants to win more than Tim.

Your hillarious!
Isn't Gruden already on the hot seat? Rattay may have lost his job for his boss.
And expect big numbers from Rattay as he faces a couple of less than stellar D's in Seattle and Clevelan. I hope this an audition for a starting role somewhere next year. I can only think of a few places that might need a starter and I hope Rattay proves (perception) he needs to be there.
Lets just hope his performances are enough to convince the powers that be in the NFL that he can beat out these young guys. GET EM RAT-A-TAT-TAY!
It is about freakin time! I have watched in frustration each week hoping that they would give Rattay a chance. He is so way better than whatever his name is. Gruden should be fired for not playing Rattay!
