How quickly we forget that in 2011 no member of these forums predicted we would win more than 7 games, and those were the outliers.  Most fans of these boards had us winning 2-4 games, and then entire world of pundits had us at 4 wins or less AND the worst team in the league.

People either forget or have selective memory.  I wonder which it is.

This is true, due to our franchise QB walking away.  No one could have predicted that the 2nd round rookie QB would walk in and be the most prepared of his class to successfully lead a team on the field.  But, as I said, this was a good team that had some bad breaks in 2010 to screw their record.  Had the Panthers, Broncos, or Bills drafted Green instead and then Dalton in the second; does anyone think those teams were in good enough position to make the post season as a result?  I just think we were fortuitous with the timing of Palmer throwing in the towel.
