I think we should take into account the management decisions when thinking abour Brunell and Shuler.
We drafted Shuler with a top-five pick; but we traded a 3rd rounder and signed Brunell to an 8.6 million dollar signing bonus.
Which hurts us more?
I think in some ways, Shuler does - considering we could have gotten a blue-chip prospect with that pick, and also, we began to look at him as a savior.
The cap room hurts with Brunell, but no one had huge expectations about him and are definately not building the team around him.
