Out of nowhere, the St. Louis Rams have benched QB Marc Bulger, replacing him with QB Trent Green.
This is ridiculous. Marc Bulger wasn't having a stellar season by any means, but the problems with the St. Louis Rams go far beyond him. Bulger had completed 58.4% of his passes for 519 yards with a 2:2 TD:INT ratio. Hardly good, but not bad either. He's also been sacked 11 times in 3 games. I suppose it's Bulger's fault that a declining Torry Holt is the only decent weapon the team possesses, and the fact they were relying on injury-prone (and now injured) Drew Bennett as the only decent receiving option on the team behind him. I also supposed it was Marc Bulger who did little to upgrade the woeful offensive line this offseason. Trent Green hasn't been good in years, and placing a huge concussion risk behind a dreadful offensive line probably isn't going to end well. The Rams are a joke, and the fact they think Trent Green is a superior option at the QB position is just another reason why. Steven Jackson is only averaging 3.2 yards per carry. Why don't you bench him, too?
Fantasy Impact: Drop Bulger. He was barely worth a roster spot with the way he was performing, and now that he's not the starter anymore, there's absolutely no reason to continue rostering him.
