Marc Bulger benched, Concussion moved to starting QB

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3604491

Yes it's true.  Linehan is fighting for any means of saving his job.  Heck saving?  If the guy wants to work again in the NFL he needs to do something drastic.  This is not like Lane Kiffin needing to win.  Lane Kiffin is a good coach on and off the field.  Linehan is a joke running an abysmal team with few bright spots.

Bulger completed only 52 of 89 attempts for 519 yards in this first three games, but pass protection has been the big problem. He's been sacked 11 times. Bulger is only 19 games into a six-year, $65.1 million contract signed in the summer of 2007.

This sounds like a good deal for a back up.  Kenji Johjima is in the wrong line of work.

With his longtime offensive coordinator Al Saunders running the Rams offense, Green decided to sign on to be the Rams backup. Now, heading into Sunday's game against the Bills, Green will be the starter.

This  isn't actually a bad move.  If the rams focus on good pass blocking to give Green the time to throw it could help out.  I think this could boost the numbers of Randy McMichael and whomever their #2 receiver is. 

Thoughts?  Panic?

A place to bury strangers.

I think the Rams are panicking.

But that seems to be happening on a lot of teams this year, especially at QB.

I'm back to liking midgets too much.

Kerry Collins will lead the Titans to greatness ala 2001? Ravens

Vince Young will never play football again.

Bulger looked awful.

I can’t speak for Trent Green, but Bulger earned the bench.

I think he can thrive in Saunders system.

Not be good, but he will be better than Bulger.

Trade one oft-injured quarterback for another, eh?

Well, at least it’s not us.

At what point does playing Trent Green

become criminal negligence? This guy is going to kill himself if he doesn’t retire soon.

They did that Jarrassic Park thing

And used some old DNA, with the help of frog DNA, to make a clone.

2/3 of the world is covered by water. The rest is covered by Marcus Trufant.
