Rams are deep at QB
Marc Bulger is very effective when he plays, but Coach Martz used to have everyone going out for passes and no one blocking which has gotten Bulger pummeled as of late. Bulger has a very quick release, which he had to develop with no blockers in front of him. New head coach Scott Linehan will have more guys blocking to help Bulger show off his right arm. In 44 games (all starts) he has completed 65.0% of his passed for 11,932 yards with 71 career TD passes and 51 interceptions for a QB rating of 90.6.
Gus Frerotte has been following Scott Linehan around for awhile, first in Minnesota, then Miami and now St. Louis. Linehan knew that Bulger gets beat up and only started 8 games last season, so he called up his old buddy Gus and invited him to town. Frerotte has played in 127 games (79 starts) and has thrown for 18,093 yards with 95 TD passes and 79 interceptions for a career rating of 75.3. Frerotte is a very good back-up QB that would be able to run the offense without much of a drop-off.
Ryan Fitzpatrick out of Harvard looks to be the #3 QB for the Rams. FItzpatrick was forced into duty four times last season (3 starts) and completed 56.3% of his passes for 777 yards with 4 TD passes and 8 interceptions for a QB rating of 58.2. To be fair, Fitzpatrick was a rookie from Harvard. Harvard to the Pros is quite a jump, so the thought is that he will improve with experience.
