It is interesting to see when people gloss over how awful Shuler was as an NFL quarterback. For example, this article makes the ridiculous statement that “his NFL days were short-lived because of a foot injury.” No, his NFL days were short-lived because he wasn’t any good. The foot injury just made it official.

His bio on the Progressive Patriots Fund site calls him a “successful businessman” and mentions that he was the #3 overall selection in the draft. In conveniently fails to mention how that turned out.

The AP used the phrase “Shuler’s pro career never took off,” which in our minds is being rather kind.
