You don't think he was elite in '09 when Bratkowski didn't realize that establishing the run didn't mean you had to run dive, dive, curl, punt every drive, which caused Palmer to have to win it for us at the end with three fourth quarter comebacks and five game-winning drives?
Palmer was definitely elite that year and a few others were borderline.
I don't think we can blame '09 on Bratkowski. Bob usually liked to throw the ball. During his tenure as an NFL OC his teams finished in the top half of the league in pass attempts 11 of 15 seasons.
In '97 Warren Moon went to the Pro Bowl and led the league in passing yards per game playing under Brat.
In '03 Jon Kitna won the NFL Comeback PLayer of the Year under Brat when he finished in the top 10 in passer rating, passing yards, and TDs.
Palmer had his great seasons in '05 and '06 playing under Brat.
