Ravens Free Agent QB Marc Bulger Not Content On Being A Backup

Pending free agent quarterback Marc Bulger has been consistent during the offseason in not addressing rumors about where he might play in 2011, and even remained mum last week when Kurt Warner suggested that, at this point in his career, the 11-year veteran might be content to simply be a backup, but people close to the 34-year-old Bulger took some umbrage at Warner's remarks. "He still has the fire to play," said one member of the Bulger camp. "Last year, when he didn't get off the bench (in Baltimore), it wasn't like he got completely cozy with being the No. 2 guy. The situation, though, will have to be the right one." The last part of the equation - identifying a spot where Bulger would be able to compete for a starting job -- might be the hardest. The dearth of quality quarterbacks in the NFL aside, there simply aren't a ton of starting jobs available. The Tip Sheet reported two months ago that Arizona would be Bulger's most logical landing spot - and cited some reports that a few NFL officials actually felt there might be an "understanding" between the two parties - but other media reports have linked the Cardinals to a trade for Philadelphia backup Kevin Kolb. Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt recently suggested that he preferred to get a younger veteran quarterback, so he might not be in the market for an older guy like Bulger, but people close to Bulger continue to insist that he still retains a competitive streak and has not just settled in to a No. 2 quarterback mentality.

This was in response to Warner's comments.......

 

If he can run a WCO the I see Miami being a spot.

 

That "genius" was ten times the Quarterback Bulger ever was.

 

Even for a QB needy team I still don't think he's starter material.

 

I would fire my coach if he wanted Bulger as a starter (if i was owner).
Kurt Warner knows Bulger isn't starter material and is just being as nice as possible about it.

 

I still think Bulger is a better option than some of the garbage that is put there right now...see Arizona, Washington, Seattle...

The only question I have are how true the reports about him wanting to/not wanting to start...
