Re: Marc Bulger
[QUOTE=YodaRam;234787]I find it funny that you don't blame him for things but you don't want him as the Q.B.? Why is that moklerman? Help me, HERE?
I think I misunderstood your question in my answer in the last post. I don't blame Bulger for what happened but he's still the guy that was given the starter's job on a silver platter. I don't blame Bulger because no QB would have turned down the starter's job especially considering that no matter how poorly he played, he wouldn't lose the job.
Bulger falls into the "Kordell Stewart" category in my mind. Pittsburgh essentially proclaimed that hell or high water, Kordell was going to be the starter. Everyone knew he wasn't the answer and even with some limited success, the team just never was going to go anywhere with Kordell at the helm. I think Bulger is a lot better QB than Kordell ever was but I still wonder what these teams feel like they owe these guys?
Why has Bulger been virtually untouchable while his predecessor, after a ton of personal and team success was unceremoniously dumped? Even now, there is essentially no chance that Bulger will lose his job because the team continues to bring in really old, worn out back-up's and young guys who can barely hang onto a roster spot. I mean, is Gradkowski really going to threaten Bulger's job?
But, I realize too that my sense of loyalty far exceeds what is realistic for most fans and franchises. After all the crap that I've had to watch and live through as a Rams fan, any of the key players from the '99 team would always have the benefit of the doubt from me. Warner went through some tough times and injuries but he's a Ram for life (as long as he wanted to be here)if I'm in charge. Bruce too. Neither wanted to leave and even though there were circumstances, I happen to be willing to forgive a little more for those guys because of what they helped accomplish for the perennially hapless Rams.
