Boller a game-time decision

by Ryan Van Bibber on Dec 13, 2009 9:13 AM CST in 2009 St. Louis Rams regular season

The latest on the Kyle Boller situation is this: The St. Louis Rams starting QB will go through warmups today. At that point his status for the game will be determined. If he doesn't make it, Keith Null will start. It's a 3:05 p.m. game, giving the team and the quarterbacks a little extra time to wrap their head around the decision.

Even if Null does not start today, the Fox report linked below expects the Rams to give him plenty of playing time as the season winds down.

If Null does start, he'll be playing behind an offensive line missing RT Jason Smith. the second overall pick from this year's draft is still dealing with a concussion. In fact, there's real concern about Smith whose baseline test this week came back below his original baseline neuro exam. He might not play again this season.

Titans' QB Vince Young is 50-50. He sat out practice Friday, but did tell local media that he expects to play this week.

I said that drafting an OL in 1st rd. would be a mistake

I took much heat, but, in the end, I know I was correct!

how is it in the end yet...

and he’s not hurt just because he is an OL. He has been playing great. Tyson Jackson hasn’t done anything and the management didn’t want Crabtree that high.

In what 'end'?

Oh, I see he’s injured maybe for the rest of the year and you’re stammering that the injury has a relfection on what you predicted? Of course I disagree w/that thoght process as that isn’t any indicator of how well of a player he is or will be.

Yeah

But everyone knew that drafting Smith would be a mistake because he was concussion-prone!

JLCDB, the “end” would be after Smith’s career is over. Not after he suffered a brain injury.

I think it was the right devision

Any player could have gotten injured

finaly we can get to see Null play thats good im sick of looking at ....

Two washed up QB’s play every sunday and between then we got one win lmao what a joke this is ,let the young QB have his chance maybe we like what we see in this last part of the season,i already like Gibson and Robinson, Amandola as a return man, so with Avery and Burton i think with one top 3 WR draft pic we should be ok in the WR department,now if we like what we see in Null then that realy lets us fill other needs of this team like linebackers and defensive line

I am eager

to see the kid. During preseason he showed some really nice things. A gun slinger mold. But, it was against 2nd and 3rd stringers, so I want to see how he does with a true challenge in 1st team/mid season form defense.

I truly hope that this kid Null turns out to be a diamond in the ruff, and that as our team gets better and better he can also grow to his potential…but first lets ship Schurmer out

If practice makes perfect....
Yet nobodies perfect.....
Then why practice ???
