... and Gus Frerotte will start this Sunday for the St. Louis Rams in place of ailing Marc Bulger. This obviously does not bode well for two teams that had legitimate playoff chances before the season. Now the 49ers (2-2) will look to journeyman Trent Dilfer to salvage their season. The Rams (0-4) are probably already out of the postseason given the impactful injuries of left tackle Orlando Pace and budding superstar running back Steven Jackson. Tack on these two quarterback changes to the long list of quarterback moves already made in just four weeks of the 2007-08 NFL season.

Instead, it is aimed at providing Bulger some time to recover and to perhaps gain some new insights from the sideline on the Rams offensive struggles. Insights is one word for it, I suppose. posted
