The Mostly Forgotten Rams QB Marc Bulger

[Loyal]

The only right answer was Kurt should have never been traded, but given time to heal. That was my thoughts then and now.

Bulger wasn’t bad, he just suffered from being after Kurt and. His shorty coaches calling a scheme to keep him somewhat upright and o-line talent.

Sadly Mark’s NFL career died of Bulgeritis!


AND SHAME ON YOU FUCKERS! The Rams most pathetic and most feustrating QB of all time was f’n Tony Banks! That was a total calamity! Smh

Well, Kemp was smart, he went to Dartmouth same Alma Mater as Kevin Demoff.

Almost as smart as Pat Haden of USC!

I always liked Marc. Had to be tough to keep absorbing the pounding that he took. Our defenses were bad, our special teams were bad, our offensive line couldn't protect him. About the only thing the Rams did well was passing the football.

This thread had me look up highlights from one of my favorite Rams games! You always knew that you at least had a chance with Bulger if the game was close late.

Damn good watch! Those passes... thread... the...needle. Wow!

Bulger was a good QB. Solid player for 5 straight years. I always liked him.

But... Toward the end it was time. Final 2-3 seasons was a downturn.

I developed big respect for Bulger. Martz had him take beating after beating. Many times I was surprised he got back up and competed.

Oh Marc Bulger you're our MVP, oh Marc Bulger.

Marc Bulger was not bad and I only wish they had given Kurt a full year to recover, liked he had in Arizona, but that was not going to happen. IMO, if Warner does not get the full year and then wears the gloves, his thumb would have always been an ordeal.

Obviously as the Offensive Line deteriorated (sound familiar) Bulger got worse, he is not my least favorite Ram QB of all time as that will always fall to Pat Haden....Glad Bulger is playing golf.

Haden is before my time but as child rooting for the rams in the 90s and Tony Banks. I’ll take Bulger.

He couldn't carry a bad team but put a good team around him and Bulger could do some damage.

For worst QB's in my life time I go with:

1. Tony Banks
2. Steve Walsh
3. Pat Haden

Had a Bulger away jersey when I was younger. It was the only Rams Jersey I've ever had other than AD#99 that I got a few years back.

 

[I like Rams]

I dont hate Bulger, I like Bulger. Any dude who plays with cracked ribs gets my respect.

Bulger just represents a time when things slipped away from the Rams.

For me, I never liked Martz giving up on Warner so its painful to think of Bulger. Its painful to remember that era for many reasons.

And I always said he the skinniest legs.

Bulger was a capable QB, lethal with a clean pocket and an even better scapegoat for the fans rather than accept the Rams were an organization that were headed straight to the competetive basement and were letting a good guy and good QB, guilty only of being in the unenviable position of following Kurt fucking Warner, get destroyed under center while they are too busy trying to stab each other in the back rather than working to keep a great team from falling apart.

Bulger just kept standing in there, getting wrecked, getting up, trying again.
I bought his jersey for that shit.

I hope he is living a good life.

OL was shit, I‘ll never understand why people wanted to do that to Warner, who wouldn’t have had the successful career he did without first being usurped by Bulger.

I liked him okay at the time, but my appreciation for him grew later on really, as it became crystal clear what kind of team was around him.

What?

I feel like Marc bore the brunt of the messy breakup with Kurt. A lot of Rams fans were upset with how that went down. It worked out better for Kurt, frankly. Before the shaky OLs ruined his career, Bugler was a good QB. He's probably underrated because of his struggles late in his career and the difficulty of following Warner. He was a guy who needed protection, and he was ruined because he didn't get it.
