The following paragraph was taken from Bernie's article today on 86-ing Bulger. All I can say after reading this article is AMEN.

"Besides, can a rookie quarterback fare any worse than Bulger? At least the rookie will have potential, and a bigger arm. Since the start of the 2007 season, Bulger ranks 39th among NFL quarterbacks in completion percentage, 42nd in yards per attempt and 40th in passer rating. The Rams can't continue this way. They can't delude themselves into thinking Bulger will turn his career around."

And that right there folks is why they absolutely must grab one of these rookie QB's in the draft.

I don't think any reasonable fan would disagree that the rams need to take a qb next year with their first pick and that bulger needs to be cut.

He's been given ample time to revive his career and hasn't done it.

Thanks for the good times Marc but he's gone.

Well IMO if Bradfords rehab goes well, and both locker and clausen declare I think it would be unwise to not take one of those 3 when we pick (assuming they're available when we pick, which they should be).

I'm sure when we look back 5 years from now there will be some qb that didn't get picked in teh first round that ends up being a more then capable starter.....i just haven't been able to make an opinion on who I think that guy might be.

I think all 3 of bradford, locker and clausen will end up being good professional qbs because of their tangibles and reported work ethic.

This is my favorite quote from his article:

If Bulger has reached the stage where it's a health risk to fight for a yard and a first down, then he shouldn't be playing.

Funny that with all the other bone-headed plays the Rams do, that no one has considered that maybe Bulger had a brain-freeze and thought he had the 1st down.

Everybody is in a hurry to jump on the 'chicken' bandwagon when Bulger has shown to be one of the toughest guys on the team, playing through injuries that put guys like McNabb and others on the bench for weeks.

There are lots of things to criticize Bulger about regarding his play, but criticizing his heart is just plain idiotic. Stupid. Ignorant. Shameful. And any stronger word you can think of yourself.

Somebody please correct me if I am wrong here. I remember a playoff game against Carolina and the rams were on about the 25 yard line of Carolina. The Rams were down by 3 and about 2 minutes left in game. Martz decided to run the ball 3 straight times instead of going for the kill. They ended up kicking a field goal tying the game and eventually losing. Martz was asked after the game, why he did not take a shot at the end zone and he replied he did not want to risk a turnover by an interception. What does that truly say about your star quarteback, Marc Bulger. Bulger has thrown for a ton of yards, but where has he led this team, yes he should be the leader, in the last 6 years where has he taken this team. He is not completly responsible, but he is a large part of the pathetic seasons we have had lately.

I don't think there's any reason to rehash all this old stuff. It's pretty much common knowledge that the rams are going in a different direction next year. Regardless of what people think of him he's gone.

I'm sure that will be the spin ... Bulger thought he had already gotten to the marker, and he misjudged the distance... I don't buy that for a minute.

And suppose he did?

Is that OK?

Does that make it allright?

So tired of rationalizations for this guy's continued ineffectiveness.

"Shameful" would be the word I'd use to describe fans who continually make excuses for underachieving athletes ... especially those who do not compete hard all of the time.

My point is that if the guy is so burned out from all of the hits he's taken, then obviously you have to question whether its in his best interest, or the team's best interest, to continue playing him.

If Bulger is able to make a few more plays, we very well could have three wins this year. I think we could have beat Washington and Jacksonville. I know Avery fumbled late in the game against Washington but it's not like that was the only time we had the ball late in the game. I also wonder if the real reason that we went for the field goal in Jacksonville is because Spags didn't have a lot of confidence that Bulger could at the very least avoid a turnover in that situation.

So are you saying it's okay that your starting quarterback doesn't know where the 1st down is?
