Never mind that our starting tight end still has a lot of work to do in the protection department. The calls have been put in – Marc Bulger is apparently not the man for the Rams. |
I've been one of the critics of Marc his last game, but my critics are far from what you are saying.
My claim is that knowing that he is going to be sacked (not only because our OL is a turnstile but also because at one point we were playing with 4 backups) he didn't get rid of the ball fast enough, throwing it outside. Holding the ball 6 seconds for a elite QB is ok, regretfully we don't have that luxury.
However, failing to understand that Marc is an elite QB, someone that took over one of the most accurate passers, with a ring in his hand, and he took it over with his TDs, and QB rating, not with the mouth like some frustrated QB in Mia now or in Phi. Not only he has to be our QB because he already showed what he is made of, won more games that he lost, and has more TD than INT, or because THE WHOLE TEAM (not the WR, or the OL, all the players) backs him up, but also because there is no other QB better than him available. I would think that he should be rated among the top 10 QB if not the to 5 right now.
Culpepper is playing way worse than Marc, I don't hear the fins wanting to get rid of him, the only QB in danger is the snake, but he's 0-2 with 4 int and 0 TD.
I want the playoffs again, I want the ring again, I want the 400 points a season again, NOW, and its really hard to see us loose against the ***** but be sure that sooner or later this offense will take off, the 400 points will come back and we'll have threats saying "do you remember when you wanted to get rid of the probowler Marc Buler".
FYI I have 3 fantasy teams, I have him in two, never think twice, he was is and will be the starter.
