And that is the harsh reality of life.

Talent wise, Palmer just had more. His natural ability was amazing, the issue was where he landed. Stuck with a garbage O.C. and a H.C. that played not too lose instead of playing to win. If Palmer had hooked up with a guy like Arians as a rookie, he'd be one of the top QBs of his era. 

Talent only gets you so far in the league, bad coaching and poor decisions on players will end a career. Tim Couch is a good example of that, hell pretty much every QB that has gone to Cleveland and the factory of sadness had talent, but with no coaching and no consistency and a terrible roster there was no chance.

The rapist is a good QB, not saying he is untalented but getting coached up by Ken Whisenhunt and Bruce Arians for your first 8 or 9 years vs getting coached by Bob Bratkowski is the main reason Palmer doesn't blow all his numbers away.
