ESPN NFL - Rams QB Marc Bulger out at least 2 weeks with non-displaced fracture of finger on throwing hand.

Uh oh...

 
so it begins again....I thought St. Louis was going to have another disasterous year before the Avery and Bulger injuries...

 
Well f$%^. I thought my Rams had a shot at being respectable. I wasn't even thinking playoffs but 7-9 or 8-8 would've made my year for the home town team. Bulger learning a new offense, less time to work on the playbook and routes? Looks like it will be at least another year of looking at what tickets to buy based on getting to watch my fantasy players rack up huge points on my Rams...

 
A loyal Ram fan here - I hope Bulger is out longer than 2 weeks. Maybe current management, by hopefully seeing some Boller or Null success, will get some clue how Bulger (and former mgmt and the genious Mike Martz) has held this team hostage since the Warner days. Berlin can go back to his namesake.

Are you referring to the fact that they passed on both Matt Ryan and Mark Sanchez the last 2 years?

It's sort of hard to suggest they were "held hostage" when Bulger was excellent/amazing prior to two lost seasons when the entire team fell apart. He's certainly struggled the last two years, but it's hard to say that the Rams were anything but a systemwide collapse. The Story of How Marc Bulger Became the NFL's Most Underappreciated QB

 
Bulger is a Piece Of Crap turn over machine so I don't think him being out will affect this team too much. That being said, Boller makes Bulger look like a HOFer.

Sorry St. Louis fans and FF players who selected SJAX in the 1st round.

Let's not group Sanchez with Ryan just yet.
 
I'd imagine most starting QBs break every finger at least once in a career. Most from hitting the knuckles on helmets. Glad it's only the 2 week variety.

 
Rams fan here and actually very excited to have Bulger out and Boller in.

Bulger holds onto the ball way to long and shows absolutely no leadership skills. K. Boller is a younger qb with a better arm who play swith much more enthusium. When we got Boller I was hoping he would be the starter and by luck myabe he will be.

Unfortunetly he won't get a true test due to the lack of offensive weapons.

At this point in their careers

Boller>Bulger

 
I was pretty high on Bulger at one point, but he's regressed. No doubt about it. For whatever reason(s), it happens.

The Rams are my choice for worst offense in the league, & maybe the worst team, as well.

:thumbup: If I had Jackson I would actually be excited about having Boller in there now. Using Chase's rearview SOS for ranking QB's these are the AdjPts/AdjGm values for the last 2 seasons each has been a starter. Bulger (2008, 2007) compared to Boller (2007, 2005). Bulger is a shell of his former self so I really think Boller is an upgrade here.Bulger: 11.2, 13.7 (19.4 in 2006)Boller: 16.5, 16.2
 
I've never seen a team crash and burn so badly before the season even starts. Their lack of depth at key positions is appalling.

And if the previous post is indicative of the general sentiment of St. Louis Ram fan and folks down there are actually looking forward to seeing Kyle Boller under center... then all I can say is I pity the poor dumb bastards. :crazy:

I realize these injuries may make their offense worse. But drafting J Smith, getting healthy, and changing offensive philosophy were steps in the right direction. I thought that they might surprise people, but injuries may prevent that from happening.

I have. I give you the Denver Broncos. Who knew they could find a nuttier head coach than Shanahan.
 
I was looking for a reason to stay away from Jackson and this is it. Have any of you tried throwing a football without your pinky? There is a good chance this will linger for a while, especially once he takes the next helmet on it. Jackson will have even less room to run in that event. I may be over analyzing here, but again I was looking for a reason to stay away.

 
Boller is NOT the answer. There's a reason why guys like him move from city to city.
I'll bite. What is the reason? Is it the same reason as Favre? Warner? Last time I checked this is the first season Boller is on a different team than the one that drafted him.Bottom line is both Boller and Bulger are below average in every category so I don't think this changes much of anything. STL is going to stink either way. Boller will play and stink until Bulger is healed and ready to come back and stink.Hopefully a lot of people are like Fantaholic and push Jackson's ADP down into the 2nd round.
