Interesting! I fully understand the desire to get Warner with Bulger. I did the opposite, drafted the junk model of Warner and traded the Bulger owner to get him. In this case. Your squad appears to be quite a bit stronger than his. If he's struggling record wise, which I suspect, yeah, I know he's got Faulk, but that wide reciever corp has got to be killing him. He needs to be paying you more and I don't see who he'd package with Warner to make me pull the trigger. Let his team wither on the vine.
edit here: Looky there, I are a head coach. Now I just need a female to coach

Eric Moulds
Rod Smith
and rookie keeper William Green

I didn't realize you were looking ahead to next year with this trade. Anyway, Willie Jackson??? I would have at least insisted on Kevan Barlow (or even Ashley Lelie) if you are looking ahead for next year. Not sure about this trade.

I guees I'm one of the guys who may be considered a homer, but I really think there are favorable factors in Kurt Warner's returning to form this season.
1. The recent play of the offensive line. A healthy Orlando Pace, a first year player, John St. Clair, getting some experience, and the resurgence of the veteran guards and center, has turned that offense around. If they play the way they have been recently, Warner will have the time to find the open guy. He didn't have this luxury in his little more than three games this year.
2. Play calling. I really believe Mike Martz has finally caught on to the fact that if you give the rock to Faulk 30 times a game, you're probably going to win. When this offense was clicking along for three years putting over 500 points up per season, they were passing and running equally well. Both Warner and Faulk posted huge numbers each year.
I see the reutrn of Warner to his old form this year. I also think Culpepper is one more bad game away from the pine.

This was on EPSN yesterday. Looks promising...
ST. LOUIS -- Kurt Warner's second day throwing the football went much better than the first.
The St. Louis Rams' quarterback, limited to 10- to 15-yard tosses on Thursday, stretched his arm on 30-yard throws Friday as he continued his rehabilitation for a broken finger.
Warner, who had four pins removed from a broken pinkie on Monday and has missed four games, remains certain he'll "definitely'' return for the Nov. 18 Monday night game against Chicago.
"He had a lot more zip on the ball,'' coach Mike Martz said. "There was tremendous improvement from yesterday to today. It kind of surprised him, too, that he had kind of control.''
Martz said Warner wouldn't come back until he's fully recovered. The Rams are 3-0 with Marc Bulger, the former third-string quarterback. Bulger again will get the call on Sunday against the San Diego Chargers.
"Maybe it'll be two or three weeks, I don't know, and I'm not going to worry about it,'' Martz said. "Marc's going good, we're going good right now. He's not going to come back until he's 100 percent.''
Warner said there was quite a bit of pain Thursday, but not nearly as much on Friday.
"I know it's going to take a few days to get all the soreness out of there,'' Warner said. "I had four metal objects in their for five weeks.''
Warner was "very optimistic'' after throwing for about a half-hour on Friday. He said he threw twice as many balls as the first day back.
"I could really push it today,'' he said. "I definitely think next week.''
Warner knows he'll have to show Martz he's ready.
"I'm going to have to go out and make all the throws,'' he said. "He's going to trust me with what I say, but at the same time I'm not going to lie to him.
"He's going to be able to tell in practice if I'm not able to do something, and make a decision from there.''

I've sat on him in both leagues and hope you're right.
