The Skins did the same thing with RG3 and Cousins.Shuler’s problem in DC was Norv Turner who wanted him to be Troy Aikman, which was not a fit. Plus, Sonny Jurgensen who was on the radio team, made it known he preferred Gus Frerotte during their first training camp. Yes, they drafted Gus in the same draft and created all kinds of problems.
Yea because he had a good OC and NFL talent against a weaker schedule. And the Heisman was one of the weakest talent pool in recent memory that year. Check his big wins and stats vs the other top UT QBsI think he gets overlooked because he was almost immediately followed by Peyton. But yeah, Shuler was incredible. There was a reason dude was the runner up in the Heisman race in 93.
Josh Heupel was a 2* that ended up the JUCO route to Weber State tearing his ACL, transferring to Snow College, receiving an offer to Utah State, & with luck meeting Bob Stoops instead…rest is history. Josh Heupel coincidentally recruited Sam Bradford that was barely a 3* thanks to his OU offer. Dillon Gabriel was a 3* that put up insane #’s thanks to Heupel.I have no reason not to believe he won’t be ready to play should the need arise under coach Hype
Heath Shuler is to Tennessee what Tim Tebow was to Florida. Shuler was the original Tebow….hands down.His Dad may have been the most physically gifted QB to ever play. Can you imagine what Heupel would do if he coached Heath
Difference is Florida had an innovative coach and Fulmer was overly conservative. I like Phill he just didn’t maximize what he hadHeath Shuler is to Tennessee what Tim Tebow was to Florida. Shuler was the original Tebow….hands down.
He should’ve came back for his Senior season though. He wins a Heisman and 95% chance wins us a National Championship.
I've had a couple chances to have conversations with Heath (no we're not friends, it's unlikely he'd even remember my name).Shuler’s problem in DC was Norv Turner who wanted him to be Troy Aikman, which was not a fit.

Woah now, I'm a huge Shuler fan but let's not discredit what Tebow did. He outrushed Shuler by 2600 yards.^^^This right here^^^
For those of you too young to know, Tim Tebow was a poor man's Heath Shuler. Heath had a better arm and better wheels, loved to put his head down and truck linebackers. Heath was a generation ahead of his time. He would have been lethal in one of today's spread offenses. Cut mixed in some QB draw's and even a few triple option plays for him to supplement traditional pro style and take advantage of his natural talent.
Does anyone in the know have insight as to how mobile Navy is or if his arm is good enough for the SEC?

Shuler was mobile, but Dobbs was hands down the best running QB we had and 2nd isn't close.
I get that they played in different offenses, but a guy wins the Heisman and out rushes you by 2000+ yards....well maybe we use the phrase "a poor man's" differently.Shuler played 2 years in a pro style offense at Tennessee. Tebow played 4 in a spread. Dobbs played a good bit his entire career here in a spread. Its not really comparable. Shuler's running ability compares favorably to Dobbs.
He was “runner up” @ NYC Athletic Club! Your making excuses like someone needing to stay in their “safe space”Yea because he had a good OC and NFL talent against a weaker schedule.
