Vick or a draft pick. I'd rather go with Vick, pick Suh, and hope the QB's actions match his words in the "I get it, I need to work to develop my skills" department.

I heard about this on Sirius this morning too. They were speculating that nice landing spots would be Carolina or SF. Basically they implied he would be foolish to go somewhere with a weak line (and I agree) and SF may have the space as they are not really paying anyone QB#1 money (Smith restructed last year to remain with the team I believe) and Carolina is not expected to keep Peppers, which opens up a lot of space...I guess it is all a moot point if 2010 goes uncapped, but I personally believe few teams will be going buck wild on spending and use 2010 as a year to cut costs.

I had heard rumors that he was considering retirement...

 

[Resident A]

I can't imagine any team wanting Bulger as a starter. He could end up as a backup on a contender.

50/50 whether he's a backup or retires (no takers)

He would probably be the best QB in Oakland.

Bulger's future is as a backup at best, but nothing more. I think more than anything his confidence is shaken standing in the pocket after taking so much punishment behind that porous Rams line.

While Bulger is no Kurt Warner, could he resurrect his career if he were given the opportunity to win the job for a good offensive team much like Warner did after his stint in NY? I can't say that I've watched many Rams games lately to know where most of the blame lies.

or doesn't.

Contrary to our earlier story, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports St. Louis Rams QB Marc Bulger did not clean out his locker. Rams equipment men did, just as they cleaned out everyone's locker at end of year.

Wow, the Rams are getting rid of *everyone* on the team?

Probably? Although Gradkowski played decent at the end of the year.What is wrong with a spring cleaning of a locker?

I think Arizona would be smart to sign him and draft a mid-round QB prospect as an insurance plan to Leinart's continuing suckitude.

That'd be double plus goodness for Seattle. Bulger's been useless against them for a long time, even with time to throw.

When in recent memory has he had time in throw?I'm not saying he's Kurt Warner by any means, but Warner looked done on a Giants team with a poor O-line that gave him little time to throw and pretty crappy receivers. He was accused of holding onto the ball too long and throwing a weak ball. Then he went to Arizona. Again, Bulger is no Warner, but it's amazing how bad a bad O-line and bad team can make a decent QB look.

Seattle hasn't lost to them in 10 games and against Seattle's pass rush in some of these last 5 years, a lot of QBs have time to throw.

A lot of QBs haven't had the Rams O-line "protecting" them.Edit to put protecting in quotes.

Which makes the time they got against Seattle that much more embarasing.

The Rams record isn't good against anyone in the division over the last 5 years (2-8 v. SF over that same span). I'm not sure a 10-0 record means Seattle has any special Mark Bulger kryptonite.

Bulger only played in 9 of those - here were the sack totals:3,1,1,7,1,6,4,4,3The only start where he wasn't sacked last year was his only win (full disclosure it was against DET)I'll look a little deeper at this later.

Though there is no guarantee that Rams QB Marc Bulger will be back next season, team officials are downplaying a report that him cleaning out his locker could signal his departure.

Like most other players who cleaned out their stalls after the Rams’ 1-15 season mercifully ended, Bulger left workout gear and other belongings in his locker, a team source said.

I’ve been told that Bulger wouldn’t mind coming back, but that he’d also welcome a fresh start should the Rams opt to release him. He’s due $8.5 million next season (his escalating contract runs through 2013), which is a large amount for a quarterback that hasn’t performed well or stayed healthy the past three seasons.

A few days before the Super Bowl, I asked Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo about Bulger’s future with the team. Spagnuolo’s answer left things wide open for interpretation. “I’ll support Marc to the end because I love the guy,” Spagnuolo said. “He’s a competitor and a good football player. Marc can still play some good football. We saw the ability of our other two quarterbacks (Kyle Boller, Keith Null), whether you consider that good or bad. Now we can sit down and evaluate.”

Bulger is done in STL. No hard feelings, he had a couple of good years and I wish him success in the future.

Bulger could still be a descent backup for a good team like a Miami, Houston or Pittsburg (hometown kid) but I wish, for his sake, he would retire.

Probably not a bad idea...

By a ####### mile.

I'd love to see the Saints sign him if/when Brunell retires.

As a backup, I tend to think Bulger will be on the descent, just as you described it. Freudian slip perhaps?

Back to New Orleans...interesting!We'll see if Chase Daniel can develop behind Brees, perfect system for the kid regardless of his flaws.

This is what I have envisioned for Bulger's future. For some reason just seems to fit.
