I have been watching threads like this one and other comments about this subject.
1. As others have said...Palmer was back and played week 1 and had a very good year, surgery 5 weeks later than AND it was like 16 years ago (maybe surgery and rehab are better now?) Here is a summary of game 4 of the pre-season (Palmer played)... https://www.espn.com/nfl/recap?gameId=260901011 ... Also, Palmer threw 35 times in game one that season.
2. The guy is being watched and treated with kid's gloves, guaranteed. They are not going to risk him.
3. He has to play at some point and getting a couple series in live action (even just handing off the ball or a couple screens or something is going to be of great help). I also read that they want to test out the headset and communication live as I guess Pollack and Taylor will be chirping in his ear this year.
4. The guy is going to get hit, period. He is a QB, there is no question about it. He needs to get hit as it will only help. The excuse that it is the pre-season is not an excuse. IF he gets injured again, what does it matter when it is? We are screwed if he does.
Let the guy play....I have all the confidence in the world that he will be just fine. He needs to run out on that field and hear the crowd roar for him. He needs to get pumped up and know this fan base loves him and we are glad he is back and healthy.
