If there was a quarterback debate in St. Louis between Marc Bulger and Kyle Boller, would anyone care enough to make it?
Well, yes. Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch makes the case for Boller in the short term, although he admits that the Rams’ quarterback of the future is playing on Saturdays this Fall.
But it’s sounding like there won’t be a decision to make at all because of Marc Bulger’s reported rotator cuff injury.
When speaking about Bulger’s injury and safety James Butler’s knee injury, coach Steve Spagnuolo said, “There’s some significance to those injuries.”
The Post-Dispatch writes that Bulger will miss the season if tests on Monday reveal a torn rotator cuff. And it doesn’t take an expert to know that the paper wouldn’t have mentioned the possibility unless there was a real chance that Bulger is done for the season.
We should find out more today from the Rams, but it sounds like Boller will get the starting job by default, at least in the short term.
Whoever is the starting quarterback has a tough assignment, especially because wide receiver Laurent Robinson was also hurt in Sunday’s game with a potentially ankle knee injury.
