Palmer showed up in AZ as a washed-up journeyman on his last legs for 6th round pick but the HC and GM believed in him enough to turn the worst o-line in the NFL into a decent one. The cynic in me says it's sort of the opposite of what happened in Cincy when we let our o-line fall to pieces.
I kind of agree, but it wasn't for lack of trying. They invested a ton into the o-line. Willie got old and Levi got injured. I'd say by 2009-10 it was pretty solid again.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
