I think that's the difference when you're a golden armed California guy (Palmer) and a guy like Burrow, who had to suffer adversity at Ohio State to find success or Browning who has been cut and floating on PSs for years.
I never could understand Palmer's beefs. Ownership gave him everything. Great WRs (hell, they even signed TO for him), OLs, money, etc was all his. So, why he was mad at ownership is beyond me. This entire city embraced him. He came across as a DIVA, particularly when he said he was "retiring". That was the last straw for me.
Marvin? We should not be surprised with what we got after seeing the kind of players he wanted with the Ravens when he was the DC there. I liked ML. But, that eventually came back to bite him in the ass. He (and we) finally understand that character counts. To Marvin? Not so much! Look at this roster compared to Marvins and that fact becomes obvious.
