The Gun Of Bavaria Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/90593-jets-interested-in-bulger?eref=fromSI :suicide::suicide::suicide::suicide::suicide: Jets interested in Bulger? Now what? In terms of experience and production, the Jets suffered perhaps the biggest single-day dropoff at one position in NFL history, going from Brett Favre to The Three Standbys - Kellen Clemens, Brett Ratliff and Erik Ainge. Favre's retirement Wednesday left a crater-sized hole in the lineup - one veteran player, speaking anonymously, ripped management for the current plight - but GM Mike Tannenbaum and new coach Rex Ryan did their best to sell the potential upside of the three young quarterbacks. Keep an eye on the Rams' Marc Bulger, a potential salary-cap casualty. He's a player who would interest the Jets. New York Daily News Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uart Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Which veteran player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Marc Bulger would be a welcomed addition to this team. I don't see how anyone couldn't like him. When he was actually protected, he played very well with an injury proned Running Back and one very good, and nothing else at the position, Wide Receiver. And I'm sure that veteran was none other than Big Mouth Laveranues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Which veteran player? I'm wondering the same thing. No one was speaking out when Clemens was battling Penny for the job or when he flat out had the job last year...well besides Coles of course.

Maybe it's a trait to have a rag arm if you went to college in WV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Which veteran player? Probably that whiny bitch Coles. That's clearly been his M.O. around here the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 A few years ago he was a VERY good QB. He is though and always had been basically made of glass. His injuries have piled up and he looks like nothing but a shadow of his former self. Play behind the dreadful Rams offensive line has not helped his cause. I wouldn't mind taking a shot on him, especially if we could get him cheap. It would be a very low risk/high reward move. I've really always wanted to see what he could accomplish with an offensive line that gives him more than half a second to throw the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno the Jet Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 UGH, last resort> maybe if BR & KC play like rotted corpses. Ainge is certainly no prodigal. Bulger would only be allowed to be a JET in my book if, and only if, he is willing to accept a pay cut and a reality check! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulger would only be allowed to be a JET in my book if, and only if, he is willing to accept a pay cut and a reality check! He would be signed as a cut veteran... Im assuming 2 mill per would get it done... why not... he would be a good vet to have in the mix... not saying he SHOULD start... just saying he would be a good Patrick Ramsey for lack of better words... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Marc Bulger is still a very good QB in this league, I don't understand how some of you would be against bringing him / some of you (ecurb) comparing him to Patrick f'ing Ramsey. The guy doesn't have the dominate Orlando Pace protecting his blind side anymore as Pace has been a shell of his former self when he's actually been healthy enough to stay on the field. Him being hurt led to Bulger being hurt. Steven Jackson is always hurt as well. Bulger is still in the Top 15 at the Quarterback position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 The legend lives on.... In terms of experience and production, the Jets suffered perhaps the biggest single-day dropoff at one position in NFL history, going from Brett Favre to The Three Standbys - Kellen Clemens, Brett Ratliff and Erik Ainge. The Three Standbys > 40 year old Brett Favre I'd be a lot happier finding our own, new Marc Bulger, instead of signing the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I'd take Bulger. He's still in his QB prime, and I bet he makes a better transition than Favre into this offense. I just want a good QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York Mick Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Considering what's out there if we could get Bulger for a good price I'd be happy. We need a QB that can at least play in the NFL we're not sure if Rat or KC can but we know Bulger can play even if he's a JAG. He's been crap over the last few years but he's had a few good ones as well, maybe a change will help him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashingjet Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yes, bring Bulger in... 2006 was his last good year, for 2007 and 2008 Bulger has been in decline, throwing more int's than TD's. I would welcome Bulger to the Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I would not mind bringing in Bulger as part of the competition- he has proven he can win in the NFL - give him a decent line to work with again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulger, hmmm, I remember him inheriting the greatest show on turf from Warner but was never as good as Warner thus falling short, but he did have DECENT years there, who wouldn't? Then he's been a journeyman. Did they say he'd be a salary cap casuality?, no thanks, if he's cheap, sure, but only to join the competition. Not to be annointed. I'm hoping Clemens or Rat can be great, and I would be dissappointed if they were simply "Bulger-like". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would welcome Bulger to the Jets and he only had a few "good" years before that, with a dynamic offense, when i say "good", I mean, 22TD's 22 INT's.(2003) His whole career is like Favre minus 1,000.

I'm not thrilled. You're kidding, right? He "inherited" the Greatest Show On Turf (what a bunch of crap). Where was Ricky Prohel? Where was Az-Hakim? Did Issac Bruce remain in his late 20's? I missed where scientistis kept him at that age. Did he "inherit" the great Orlando Pace? No, he inherted a Bruce & Pace, shell of their former selves, a banged up Marshall Faulk and an injury proned, fumbling machine in Steven Jackson. But he had Tory Holt, so he should've been awesome. How about producing his 2004-2006 numbers if you want to talk about his 2003 numbers? The last two years he's been on garbage teams with complete garbage lines. Anyone watching knows that, and I'm sure you do. 2004: 321-485 (66.2%), 3964yds, 21 TD, 14 INT 2005: 192-287 (66.9%), 2297yds, 14 TD, 9 INT 2006: 370-588 (62.9%), 4301yds, 24 TD, 8 INT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InstantClassic Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Those of you saying LC is the veteran make no sense. So LC was a "whiny bitch" when Favre came to the Jets...now he's a "whiny bitch" for Favre leaving? Do any of you realize what you're saying sometimes?

It isn't about Favre leaving, the player could care less about that, its about how Tannebaum and Woody have handled the team the past year at the Quarterback position and not having a veteran back-up in house in case Favre were to retire.
