People quit shitty jobs every day, and we don't see their names dragged through the mud like Palmer's was. If a team can just up and cut a player because of bad performance, why can't a player quit a team because of bad management?

I get this argument, to an extent, but my counter would be this. NFL QB's are public figures that are held to a different standard than us common folk. They're honestly held to a different standard than other NFL players as well.

How many franchise QB's have demanded their way out of town? I really can't think of any outside of Carson and maybe Boomer. Now I'm not saying I hate Palmer for demanding a trade. I don't. As I said in a previous post, I was ready for him to go.

QB's are paid more for a reason. They're expected to be the leaders and faces of multi-million dollar franchises. So comparing them quitting to Joe Average quitting his job just isn't an accurate comparison.
