Didn't he get hurt and never was the same again afterwards?Yes there is/are reasons. 1st one being, he went to a shyttie Washinton team. Second being, they started him from the get go. 3rd being, they gave him nothing in the way of help...no O-line, no even halfway decent recievers...nothing.
It was all put on his shoulders. He failed, but he was failed a whole lot more than he failed.
Shuler was put into a no win situation.
College football has turned into the minor leagues now. Give it 5 years and its not going to be anywhere close to what it used to be. Theyve kept milking the cow and shes going to run out of milk soon.Playoff made bowl games irrelevant and players are options out and transferring at record numbers every year. To keep kids interest and build more suspense, we have to have more teams. When the playoff was announced it should have been 12-16 to start. It was bad planning. Either keep the BCS or go to a large playoff.
