He only had 1 healthy playoff run with the Cardinals, but 2015 was a good year, for sure.  I always point out that I thought we were going to trade down and Palmer was going to end up with the Chicago Bears.  Hard to not see him having a lot of success in that era where they made a SB and some playoff runs with Rex Grossman, Kyle Orton, and Jay Cutler.

Burrow is better than Palmer, but I won't discount that it seems like Burrow has a less restrictive version of Mike Brown to deal with than Palmer and company did 20 years ago.  Geez, time flies.  The same time frame from the Palmer era starting to today is the same as the Palmer era starting to 1983.


As for the Burrow contract, I suspect something record breaking yet as team friendly as possible happens.  Or we could go full homer and say that Burrow is so good he could have a team killing contract and still win it all.
