While I agree wins are important, one must remember that the Rams defense shit the bed as well.
'03 - 16th
'04 - 17th
'05 - 30th
'06 - 23rd
'07 - 21st

Can't pin team records on just the QB...I think offensively under Saunders, the Rams will do well. It's the defense that is going to be the key factor.

Looks to me like we both agree Bulger is average.

Well now that he is gone I'll let you guys in on a secret. People blamed Gibbs for not getting the plays in and poor clock mangament. The problem was that 700 page play book. It took too long to thumb through the 700 pages and find the play then call it in. If you notice most coaches have all their plays on a two sided sheet not on 700 pages.

Ok that's not really a bigtime player.

Al Saunders is like anyone who gets FIRED, need to keep the paychecks coming in while he's still able to coach and not lay down all day like most senior citizens.

I play in a 4 player keeper league and I've had Jackson since he was a rookie. When he has a line in front of him you see what he is capable of. Look at his 06 season? He's a great back and he'll explode this year if STL can sure up the line. He almost had 1,000 yards while missing 5 1/2 games and playing behind one of the worst lines I've ever seen. Same with Bulger. He's a top tier QB when he has the players around him although he's a little fragile IMO.
