Bulger and Holt on I-70 headed west?

by swift347 on Sep 27, 2008 10:42 PM CDT

According to NFL network Scott Linehan is looking to trade or release Torry Holt, and Bulger refuses to play for him. I know they are aging. But both would be great additions and would help develop these young guys we have now. If the price wasn't too steep it would atleast be worth a sniff. What do you think? What would it take? How much would it help, if at all. Or do you think it would hurt?

No way in hell

they’ll part w/ Bulger. You just don’t do that w/ franchise QB’s. As for Holt, I don’t expect him there beyond next season. I wonder if the Rams are about blow up and rebuild like we’ve done..

Well Linehan may

Hit the highway if they do not win tomorrow. Schefter reported that Linehan will get his walking papers if they do not win tomorrow.

It was not Schefter, it was Peter King.

It's Not Going To Happen

St. Louis is not going to ship out Bulger one year after giving him a long-term deal, nor are they shipping Holt. If it were just two players who didn’t like Linehan that’s one thing, but Steven Jackson (who just signed a major contract) has already started publicly questioning his decisions too, as apparently have several other vets in the locker room. Basically, Linehan’s lost the locker room to a degree that even if he wins tomorrow he’s probably still getting the axe next week.

Supporting the lesser of two evils is still supporting something evil.

Also

None of the players who hate Linehan except Steven Jackson fit our plans, and Jackson’s not coming here so it’s a non-issue.

Well...

Schefter is now reporting that if the Rams dont beat the Bills Linehan may be fired immediately. SO if these players truly feel that way about their coach I expect a half-assed effort…

Holt would be ok for now, but he is old…Bulger is a no no

I wouldn't want any of them

Holt wouldn’t be an upgrade for next year and Bulger isn’t the long term answer. I have a good friend that is a HUGE Bills fan and he laughs every time I show him a post on us getting Losman. He hopes that we do get him, because he says Losman is an OK QB, but only a couple of the Bill’s bloggers want him. He says anyone who really knows Losman’s abilities and has followed him, doesn’t want him. I can’t say that he would be a step down from our current QB issues, but it sure doesn’t seem he would be an upgrade either, according to the Bills fan.

I’d rather let this season play out and see what we end up with from our current three (Croyle, Thigpen, Martin). If they can’t grow up, learn to be NFL starters, or stay healthy, then so be it, but at least we will have given them the opportunity to prove or disprove it.
