Mike went to see Paul (it wasn't long before Paul passed away) and decided to talk to Paul about this young college QB named David Klingler. Paul told him to stayed away from Klingler because there was something about him that Paul didn't like.
Later we get to hear from Mike Brown, "David Klingler is the QB you'd least like to face in 10 years."
According to Hobson, Mike "couldn't resist Klingler when Shula's reports told him klingler would be close to Troy Aikman and Dan Marino." (should've listened to Paul!)
Two years later, Klinlger had a total QBR of 66.5 and Shula was 8-24. Seeing these results, Mike still gave Shula a 2 year extension.
