When he left here he was still in his prime and he didn't find much more success than he found here. In his later years here he was as much of the problem as anyone else, in fact he was one of the reason we brought TO here in the first place. In reality Palmer just wasn't the "generational" talent everyone wanted him to be, and that happens. Outside of one outlier year in 05 his completion percentage never exceeded 65% with only one other season over 64% (Career 62% completion percentage). His TD to INT ratio was only 1.57 which is pretty pedestrian.
Overall he was a good NFL QB but we juiced him up bit to think he was more than that, in reality he's Joe Flacco not some generational talent. Maybe Joe Burrow will end up the same, or maybe he can be the generational talent we want. I can say this, good players make good organizations. When you win people think you're a good organization when you don't they think you are bad. When we start winning again the narrative will change like it often does.
Oh, if only he was Joseph FLacco, we'd have a superbowl win! Lol
