Bulger leaves game with concussion
Sunday, November 25, 2007


ST. LOUIS (AP) St. Louis quarterback Marc Bulger suffered a concussion in Sunday's game against Seattle, and the Rams said he would not return.

Bulger was injured while making a shovel pass midway through the first quarter. He was hit by several players, but threw a pass that was intercepted by defensive end Patrick Kerney.

Bulger, who missed two games earlier this season with broken ribs, walked on his own to the locker room. He was replaced by Gus Frerotte.

The starting QB has taken a beating behind an offensive line decimated by injuries this season. Bulger was hit several times Sunday, including a blindside sack by Kerney that forced a fumble on the Rams' first possession. The Rams recovered and Bulger stayed in for two more possessions.

Bulger was 3-for-5 for 32 yards and the one interception. He has been sacked 30 times this season.

Bulger has completed 61 percent of his passes with six touchdowns and nine interceptions in what has been a disappointing season after he signed a six-year, $65 million contract extension on the first day of training camp. That deal made him the highest-paid player in franchise history. The contract included $27 million in guaranteed money and put him in a group of six quarterbacks making $10 million annually.

St. Louis' problems on the offensive line began in Week 1 when left tackle Orlando Pace was lost for the season with a torn triceps, the first of several linemen to be hurt. The Rams have used 15 line combinations this season.

And now you think, was it worth it to resign him for that much?

I still think so. Keep in mind that his O-line was decimated and his starting RB was gone for a lot of the season. It's hard for any QB to lead a team to victory from your back. take Carson Palmer for instance. His defense sucks and his team has a poor record, but I'd still pay a ton for him based on his talent.

Very true, I'd probably take Bulger over Eli any day.

Bulger has become a very accurate passer over the past few seasons, it's a shame that he is being destroyed behind a terrible oline
