To be honest I really never watched Klingler.
I was living in Colorado during Klingler's time with the Bengals and there was no internet, so you couldn't just stream any game or watch replays whenever you want.
I don't know how far Palmer could throw a football just like I don't know how far Aroldis Chapman could throw a baseball. But Palmer could throw the ball as hard as anyone. He could throw a 15 yard out pattern all the way across the field on a rope. And I remember watching him with the Cards when I though he was supposed to be old and beat up. He still had that big arm.
Since I don't recall watching Klingler I can't say he wasn't better. But if his arm was better than Palmers then i understand why we took a first round flyer on him.
