3rd String Project(Keith Null) - Null was drafted 196th overall in the 6th round of this year's draft out of West Texas A&M.  The Rams hope he can carry his small school success into the NFL.  He has excellent size at 6'4" 220 lbs which will only help his transition to the pros.  He started 13 games his Sr. year throwing for 5,099 yards with 48 td's and 15 int's for a completion percentage of 68.5 and an efficiancy rating of 167.54.  His college QB coach just happens to be the recently arrested former # 2 overall pick of the San Diego Chargers - Ryan Leaf.

4th String QB (Brock Berlin) - Berlin has manned the 3rd string since 2007 when he spent most of the season on the practice squad, then was assigned to the active roster for his first and only career start at Cincinnati on 12/9/07 where he completed 17 of 28 passes for 153 yards and 1 interception.

    In conclusion, The Rams quarterback position is average at best with almost nothing in terms of depth.  Now i do believe that Marc Bulger still has the tools to be an above average QB in the NFL but he will need help from the other starters on offense.  It seems that Bulger is adapting quickly to the new offensive scheme that the Rams are installing this training camp.

    Health is the key factor for this position as the main back-up Kyle Boller has missed more games the past three years than Bulger.  But one good thing can be said for Boller, at least the organization and its fans won't fear for his safety as they did with Trent Green if he does need to enter a game.

    As for Null we will have to wait and see how quickly he can translate his abilities to the pro game if at all and whether or not Ryan Leaf had any good advice for him about the NFL.  And then there's always Brock Berlin, hey at least he's got one NFL start under his belt.
