I used to side with Palmer as I really didn't like Marvin. And I still don't. On the other hand, Carson could have changed that. Brown was enamored with the guy. If he and Chad and the others had gone to Brown and said "hey, none of us want to play for Marvin, he's kind of an idiot," we probably wouldn't have this state of continual one year contracts with an impotent coach. Plus, earlier this season Carson talked about when he was here he didn't give as much effort to it as he should have.

I get having respect for Manning as he brought the Colts organization up. Palmer didn't do anything outside of slowing us down and giving us a few memorable games.

I agree....but I do think Palmer was a part of the turnaround here.

I wouldn't mind seeing a certain WR named Larry get a ring.

Yeah, Larry is a baller.....agree about Carson.

His insistence on wanting to no longer work for SOP brought about instantaneous change. His play while here also was a monumental shift from where the organization was. They won the division twice with him, swept the division, he earned several accolades for his play. This was a team that had not had a winning record in 20 years prior. 
Man the revisionist history continues on here SMFH! Andy was given a much better situation than what Plamer found. Same thing he did for  Matt Leinart at USC. Leave it better then you find it is the motto of many successful people Palmer's resume speaks for itself.

Agreed.....although the team was a dumpster fire when Green and Dalton arrived.  They were left for dead....predicted 0-16 by many.

With that said, I really don't have anything against him and actually give credit for pulling us out of the dark ages. I'll root for him - though more just to root for the Cards over any of the other remaining teams.

Yep.
