So who would you say was the better QB who eventually lost their job to a drafted QB?
Good question. I would say Kitna. Biased, obviously. But that was such a great season. Best 8-8 season of all-time imo. There were so many ways he could have failed but he held it all together (and I'm not just talking about the end-of-game prayer circles lol). Remains to be seen whether Biscuit has that kind of maturity.
Palmer also deserves credit for biding his time. It's not like he was waiting behind a Favre or a Montana. It was a journeyman. Yet he was more than happy to hold the clipboard and wait his turn. Amazing how patient and professional everyone was that year. Marv had a lot to do with it but I think Kitna played a key role too.
