The evening local time on April 5, St. Louis Rams and quarterback Mark Bulger termination, the purpose of this move is said to take off this year’s draft, the NCAA star quarterback Sam Bradford preparation.
In fact, the fate of Bulger was sealed when the Rams signed AJ Feeley last month. With Feeley not having the ability to play as a starter, the teenager Bradford will be his backup. Coach Steve Spagnuolo said that this was a difficult decision, hoping all goes well for the 33-year-old Bulger in the future. He stated: "I appreciate and care for their own players are always very hard to accept, I am very grateful for his professionalism, character and leadership."
The Rams observed the performance of Bradford at last week's rookie training camp in Norman, a graduate of the University of Oklahoma. He won the "Heisman Award" (Heisman Trophy) in 2008 and has fully recovered from the shoulder injury he suffered in November last year.
Bulger started in eight games last season before being sidelined due to a tibia fracture during an airport game. Rookie Keith Null and veteran Kyle Bole each had their own four-game starting stints, but regardless of who played, the Rams couldn't change the image of one of the weakest teams in the Union, eventually finishing with a negative rating at the bottom with only 15 wins.
Bulger joined the Rams in 2002, making a total of 95 appearances as a starter, passing for 22,814 yards with a success rate of 62.1% in 2003. That year, he led the Rams to a record of 12 wins and 4 losses. In 2004 and 2006, Bulger made two-time All-Star Game appearances, with over 4000 passing yards in the 2006 single season. However, in recent years, injuries have significantly reduced his playing time.
His current contract was signed in 2007 with the Rams, worth 65 million U.S. dollars over 6 years. (Tom) (325)
