[quote=skinsguy;877391]No doubt that Westbrook had the tools and the athletic ability to probably have been the best receiver in football. I remembered thinking that Shuler to Westbrook was going to be a household phrase much like Montana to Rice or Aikman to Ervin.[/quote]

yeah, Shuler to Westbrook was exactly what Norvelle had in mind as the parallel to Aikman to Irvin. WEstbrook didn't have great hands, but surely had the athletic ability. As others have said already, he was never comfortable in his own skin as a Skin (or a Bengal).

Well really Norv wanted Shuler to Galloway. Casserly wanted Dilfer and Westbrook. So they compromised

I remember watching Shuler when he finally got to camp and couldn't believe how much he didn't look like a pro QB. I just don't understand what Norv Turner saw in him. He had no understand or feel of the pro game at all.

Holding out was the worst thing Shuler could have done.

He wore #3.

That's interesting man...that's f*cking interesting...

Too bad they didn't agree to compromise with Dilfer to Galloway. Could have made all the difference...?

Dilfer was terrible
