Bulger Getting Benched?

[Gambit]

I know, it's from PFT, but it could be true and have a major impact on the Cards' next game.

BULGER GETTING BENCHED

​

Welcome to another average, normal, routine Wednesday morning in the NFL.

​

Oh, by the way, a league source tells us that Rams quarterback Marc Bulger is getting benched.

​

Bulger signed a mammoth contract extension at the outset of training camp, but has been playing poorly with two broken ribs. (But he played with broken ribs last season, and did very well. We think Jay Glazer of FOX reported that over the weekend.)

​

Veteran Gus Frerotte will take over the starting job for the 0-4 Rams, who host the Cardinals on Sunday.

​

We're also told that offensive coordinator Greg Olson is being demoted.

Presumably, head coach Scott Linehan will take over the duties.

​

Other than that, it's just a normal, routine, average Wednesday morning in the NFL.​

He's got broken ribs...I wouldn't really call that being benched, unless I was PFT looking for a sensational headline and web traffic.

Is that THE Greg Olsen? Woo hoo!!

PFT scource is a STL newspaper article.

I wouldn't call that getting benched either.

According to ESPN, Frerotte will start. LOL.

the rams and the 49ers should just unite and be one football team....wait a minute they still would need a QB

 

[Big Deal]

This sucks for us, I was hoping that they would go through another week of crap football before turning that thing on it's side. These guys are going to be desperate......queue Donald....

Unless Im mistaken Frerrote has done very well against us in the past. I would rather have a Bulger with two broken ribs playing.

 

[CardLogic]

Anybody know the last time Frerotte played in a game? Did he play last season?

 

[FArting]

not good for my fantasy team

Bulger hasn't been good for your fantasy team in general.

That's not benching, that's resting... talk about stretching it. Their season is over, why risk worsening the injuries.

An 0-4 team with no Jackson, Bulger, or Pace. This will be a nice litmus test for Ken Whisenhunt and what effect he is having on the team. A poorly coached team would come out flat and just expect to win whereas aa good coach would coax his players into flat out kicking their asses from the first snap. We shall see.

Holy cow, I forgot about the legacy of losing to the team with the first pick of the draft.

Yikes.
