Schuler was a QB who busted big time with the AINTS. He was a Ryan Leaf before anyone knew who Ryan Leaf was.

I still think Ryan Leaf had some talent and he got sandbagged by Bobby Beathard. Beathard traded away Tony Martin, the Chargers' best receiver, just before Leaf's rookie season. There were two bums who couldn't get open playing at wide receiver when Leaf was a rookie (Brian Still and some other bum.) Leaf had nobody open to throw to and a bad coach named Kevin Gilbride, and the awful experience of his rookie year shook his confidence badly. Then Leaf got injured and missed a whole season, and when he came back he had a good coach (Mike Riley) but he still had nobody good to throw to. I watched those games and his receivers dropped so many passes. It was really a tough deal for Leaf, although I agree that he was overrated coming out of college.

Bobby Beathard was a gambler who signed a lot of unknown guys with strong athletic ability and gambled that they would turn into real NFL players. Some of them did (like Stan Humphries) but most of them never developed for the Chargers. He had better luck at Washington.

Actually it was the Redskins. He was already a bust long before he got to the Saints.

LOLOL - He was also a Tony Mandarich before Tony Mandarich.
