The Baltimore Ravens just signed ten years veteran quarterback Marc Bulger to a one-year contract worth $3.8 million, so the former St. Louis Rams starting quarterback will play as a backup for Ravens young starter Joe Flacco in 2010 season. At age 33, Bulger said he would fine to play a backup role with one of his favorite teams.
"It should be a different role, but it was made clear to me up front that would be my role there," Bulger said today during a conference call. "I understand whatever capacity I can help Joe, I'll do it. It's just about helping us win football games."
Bulger previously was expecting to land on another his favorite team the New Orleans Saints, who are also in need of a backup quarterback for starter Drew Brees. However, the Saints plan to wait until the deadline for signing unrestricted free agent to pick a free agent as their backup quarterback. They did not expect that Bulger would be signed away by the Ravens. Bulger did not regret for missing the chance to put on Saints jersey and said that he would do his best to help Flacco establish as much as possible.

Rams Coach Spagnuolo has no plan to change quarterbacks
After last weekend’s win over the Detroit Lions, the St. Louis Rams Coach Steve Spagnuolo has more reason to stick with current quarterback Marc Bulger, although the quarterback has thrown only three touchdown passes and has a passer rating of 68.2.
“I think Marc has done everything we needed him to do,” Spagnuolo said. “I’ve said this before; it’s not one position on the side of the ball, it’s everybody. He has been a leader, he manages the game, gets the ball to 39 (running back Steven Jackson), and there are pieces that he is working through, too.”
Bulger became the Rams won the job of starting quarterback over Kurt Warner, who was still wearing Rams jersey, in 2002 after he made his second Pro Bowl appearance. Since then, things did not go to the good direction. The Rams are 6-34 since 2007 and Bulger spent most of the previous two seasons taking a beating behind makeshift offensive lines, getting sacked a combined 75 times.
Will Rams have their favorable turn in 2009? It does not seem like possible. They lost seven straight games before last weekend and the win over the Lions was more like a fluke than a turn, still leaving the Nov.15th game against the 7-0 New Orleans Saints very little chance to win.

Rams QB Bulger will be about for about two weeks with fractured finger
St. Louis Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo said Monday that quarterback Marc Bulger will not be available for Friday’s preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons. The fractured will probably keep him out for 2 weeks.
The 32-year-old veteran quarterback jammed his pinkie finger of the throwing hand during Monday's practice and X-ray showed that it was fractured. The finger has been taped and will be immobilized for about two weeks. That means Bulger will probably also miss the Aug. 27 game at Cincinnati.
During the time while Bulger is out, the team will likely take Kyle Boller as the starting quarterback. Boller hurt his shoulder last season spent all of the season on injured reserve with the Baltimore Ravens. He was signed by the Rams in April to be Bulger's backup.
