It's not that anybody is holding up Saul Goodman in BB as some kind of heroic character. Far from it. He's quite the opposite of that. But he very clearly never gets to that point if his brother (who Jimmy clearly idolizes) actually believed in him rather than just paying lip service to the idea of Jimmy's rehabilitation and treating him as a lesser person.
You can argue that Chuck had some rational reasons for doing that (even if they were just a front for his own selfish pride), but they still involved him making the choice to ignore the obvious positive qualities that Jimmy had and focus on the bad instead.
