I think Bulger would have this team 5-4 or 4-5 and having us smelling 8-8...if his last few years in St. Louis didn't give him happy feet and the like. But he had no upside. The best Bulger would give next year would either be the same or worse that he would have given this year.
I think Shanahan wanted to test out guys with some upside. He probably thought these guys had the best chance to turn into the second coming of Gannon...or at least something serviceable like Plummer. He probably deluded himself a bit, but I don't hold that too hard against him. It happens to everyone.
