Cousins was brought in like Matty said for insurance. RG III is a smart guy and he made an average Baylor team bowl bound and a Big 12 contender after being a doormat forever. Shuler had good stats, but didn't make his team a real contender in a back then weak Pac 10.

Gus wasn't even on the radar when he was drafted out of Tulsa. He was a 7th rounder. Cousins played at a high level in a top conference. He's got a legit resume. Big difference. And fyi...Shuler played at Tenn.
