I think I am going to bench Dante for the remainder of the year, (unless he actually starts to get hot) and play Bulger for the rest of the season. I am almost out of contention anyway (one more loss will do it)
 
 
What do you guys think, should I go away from the always play your stud theory and go with the younger, hotter hand?

If I had to make that call I would compare their stats from the last 3 games and go with the better production.

A couple comments:
 
1) I don't know if the "play your stud" theory applies to Daunte these days! ??? I think it applies to Culpepper only "in name" anymore!
 
2) I would feel very comfortable playing Bulger over Culpepper over the next couple weeks given the Rams' schedule.  BUT, as for the rest of the season, you may not even have a choice there.  Kurt Warner will be returning soon.  It will be interesting to see what Martz decides to do with his superstar when he is ready, but after a fairly horrific start. ???

Well, here is the lowdown on that HOT off "the Gridiron Newsstand":

Bulger may not be your long-term replacement for Culpepper!

I also have Brad Johnson and Kerry Collins on the pine. SO it will be QBBC for the remainder of the season...

You might want to dangle Brad Johnson out on the trade wire to see if he gets any bites.  I had people begging me for Trent Green after he threw 5 TDs while sitting on my bench.
 
I ended up trading Trent Green for Antowain Smith and Ed McCaffrey.  Not a great trade, but I picked up Brad Johnson on waivers as a back-up to McNair.  Green wasn't going to get the start over McNair anyway because of his inconsistency.  Now I have some depth at WR and RB.
