What player in the NFL, past or present, would you have wanted to see succeed so badly but due to injuries, off the field issues, or whatever happened just derailed their career? For me it was unfortunate to see players like Josh Gordon or Justin Blackmon have their careers end or never getting back on track because of off-field issues.
I felt Palmer was on track to be one of the elites from that era. I’m glad he had late career success, but what could have been.
The conversation before that incident was if Palmer or Manning was going to be the better QB over their career
I thought i was remembering that right, but I didn’t to speak in hyperbole placing him along Manning and Brady. All I knew for sure was I won my first fantasy championship in part because of him that season.
We were going to win the Super Bowl that year and nothing can convince me otherwise.
You’re probably right. Even with Kitna, that was a close game at the half.
