Memory Lane: Heath Shuler

[slats7]

When Theismann endorses you, be very afraid.

[skinsfan_1215]

I hereby request a boot to ass.

Let's keep in mind that Schuler was an option quarterback.

Not a spread option, mind you. Just option. Like what Georgia Tech runs.

He wore number 21.

It might be hindsight, but goddamn I don't know what the hell Norv was thinking...

[Hitman21ST]

Well, I guess we're ****ed then. Everyone, we might as well not watch football this year.

EDIT: and WOW to Theismann's hair. That was impressive.

Awe seriously? One of the All-Time busts happened to be picked by Redskins. I really dont want to see this again

[LehighValleySkinsFan]

Yea. we truly couldnt win that year. Shuler or Dilfer? YUK

[Burgold]

It was widely considered a really bad year for qbs that year. Trent Dilfer was the unchallenged second best qb in the draft and there was some doubt whether he was the best. With that in mind, Norv Turner... offensive genius Norv Turner, wanted a qb to mold in his image. Ratings be damned. And thus we got Heath Shuler.

I think the closer parallel would be Heath Shuler and Gabbert last year. Shannahan chose not to reach for a qb even though he was considered the next best guy and we had a gaping need at QB. This year, we're making our move and we'll either get RGIII or Luck.

Will it work out? Knock on wood.

It was a nice Sunday. The birds were chirping, Spring is in the air, the draft is around the corner, what brought this up?

[Enter Apotheosis]

I enjoyed the clip just because of mid-90s Jaws' mullet and moustache.

[SkinsHokieFan]

All I can say is I was one very excited 12 year old at the time

But my goodness look how far the passing game has come in 18 years, both in the NFL and at the college level. Shuler today wouldn't even be drafted

[TheDane]

Theismann endorses everyone. Bless his heart, he's a hopeless homer.

[HailGreen28]

Let's hope it's reverse karma. Whichever QB we get.

I took mercy on you by not posting the Desmond Howard selection. :-)

Comedy relief: Mel unloads on the Colts.
