Although he was noncommital Sunday in the wake of the Rams’ 47-3 thrashing at the hands of the New York Jets, Jim Haslett said Monday that Marc Bulger would remain the starting quarterback. Haslett said Trent Green suffered a minor injury to his right elbow while making a tackle after an interception, but should be available to back up Bulger on Sunday in San Francisco. The decision to start Bulger had nothing to do with Green’s elbow, Haslett stressed.

Haslett also disclosed that:

*CB Tye Hill was in Birmingham, Ala., on Monday, having his ailing knee checked out by Dr. James Andrews.

*RB Steven Jackson (thigh) remains day to day.

*WR/returner Derek Stanley suffered a high ankle sprain, but it’s not considered as serious as some such injuries are. He’s also day to day.

*LB Chris Draft (foot) probably will miss two more weeks.

*DE Eric Moore (neck) is still questionable.

All for now . . .

What’s it gonna take to unseat Marc Bulger?

First and foremost, he has no leadership. He just doesn’t care if the team wins or not. He never did, and he never will.

Bengals need 3rd QB really bad. We can trade Bulger there.

1373 passing yards is 26th among all the QBs started (behind rookies like Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan, wash-up/emergency QBs like Derek Anderson, Gus Frerotte)

6 Passing TDs (Total TD). That’s less than Tyler Thigpen’s 8 TDs, who started like 4 games this season compared to Bulger’s 8 games.

Passer rating of 73.5 is 28th in the league. That’s behind Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, J.T. O’Sullivan (who’s benched), and Dan Orlovsky (Lion’s backup QB)

Completion percentage of 56.3% is perfect if it was 40 years ago, when Unitas was playing, but is ranking nowadays in 28th, behind Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, and Lions QB Dan Orlovsky

You know, but stats don’t mean anything to QBs. Gus Frerotte, who statistically is similar to Bulger, is winning tons of close games.

BUT WE ARE NOT WINNING SINGLE FREAKING GAME IN WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE ARE GETTING RAP-ED BY OTHER TEAMS FOR REASON

MARC BULGER TURNOVER AND SHI*TINESS, OVERRATED AND WASTE OF MONEY STEVEN JACKSON, OLD HOLT, CRAPPY DEFENSE.

IT WAS A FREAKING MIRACLE TO WIN A SINGLE FREAKING GAME.

I’M DISGUSTED BY EVERY SINGLE BIT OF RAMS

BENCH MARC BULGER!!!!!!!!!

When Loserhan started the season I knew it was a waste. Haslett gave me hope and for 2 games it looks like he did motivate this bunch of losers. Now however, he seems stuck on a loser quarterback who’s forgotten he’s in the NFL. Oh well, back to rooting for the Colts & Giants, Go Eli & Payton

Did anyone else notice Bulger laughing during the 4th quarter of the game yesterday? There wasn’t much time left but apparently Marc found humour in yesterday’s blowout loss.

That sickens me. Nothing should make you laugh in a 47-3 blowout loss. Nothing!

This bunch of overpaid losers don’t want to play? Then bench them all and give the youngsters the playing time. Anyone not making an effort trade them off the team, they’re a bad influence in the club house and on the field. Maybe we could get a few cheerleaders for these loosers. I’m not sure Bulger could win a high school game the way he’s played the last few games. Sure hasn’t showed anything called “Leadership” with his poor passing.

The Rams are a losing team this year and we just have to accept that. They don’t have any QB able to compete. A football team without a decent QB ain’t worth a ****. The whole thing is in the tank. Bulger gets the ball and instead of looking for receivers, he starts looking to see if anyone is coming his way. Just watch him, its obvious. When the front office changes, the team will change. Not until then.

Replacing Bulger does not equal instant success. Put a rookie QB behind that offensive line and you will destroy his psyche and career by the fourth game…especially when the fans rip into him. Build a quality offensive line, then put a young QB…just like what the Cardinals planned, only Leinhart has not panned out so far and once the offensive line got better Kurt started rolling. Only a proven veteran QB or incredible younger QB can learn a new offensive system to operate effectively within a year’s time…provided he has a good offensive line. The problem is fans don’t pay to see line players…only the team’s superstars…they love to see Steven run, but don’t consider it’s Orlando’s blocking that provided the opportunity. Everything starts at the line.

For those that think we got whipped because Bulger is not a great leader…since when is it the QB’s job to provide incentive to play hard (forget well). A team with a mute QB will have harder working players with more pride!

The rams offense is in trouble. I believe it is the scheme not the players. There offense might work for a cohesive veteran group, but that is not what the Rams have.The Rams need a High draft choice quarterback at least to push Bolger, create a competitive air.(look at Arizona). Bolger needs some compatition to drive him, get the fire going. The Rams also need better play out of their offensive line, and they need to develop a short passing game to quick playmakers. If they can’t run the ball they are hopeless. they have to devlop a short high percentage passing game to keep the defense off balance. This will also open up the running game. Why not line up jackson in the slot with two tight ends.

Have to agree with Josh. Any team wanting to have success needs a good offensive line, this line is just offensive. Trade down from that high first rounder and get some better talent.

I say fire every1 and start from scratch!! This season is a wash, and aside from the janitor this ENTIRE organization needs to be rebulit from the bottom up. Sarcastic yes, (and believe me I like Bulger but every1 knows we gave up on Kurt too soon) but I pay DirecTV entirely too much money to watch this team every week and end the day with yet another disappointment. Maybe we should get Mike Singletary to come and drop his pants at half time…. well maybe not…. The 9er’s stink 2! They should call this weekends game “The Toilet Bowl”. Who will win?? WHO CARES!!
