Palmer would jump back and not follow through on his throws any time a defender was in a 5 foot radius. He wouldn't have had that if he were 100%, which is evident by him not having those issues in the years after '06.
Also, what categories are you talking about that he was better in? He had 199 more yards, but that's ONE category, not categories, so I think you're just throwing out false information to "prove" a point that even you have to know is false. Also, 199 yards isn't even noticeably different.
I watched every game in '06. Palmer looked fine. Your claim that he would "jump back and not follow through any time a defender was in a five foot radius" just is not true.
Here is what really happened in '06. In the second game of the season Rich Braham was injured and never returned. in the 5th game of the season Levi Jones went down with injury and did not return until game 15. In the 9th game of the year Bobbie Williams went doan and did not return until 4 games later. These O-line injuries caused our running game to tank (300 fewer yards and a full half yard per carry drop in average) and Carson's protection to break down (sacks almost doubled from 19 to 36). Despite all of this Palmer threw for more yards, averaged more yards per attempt, and more yards per completion. He threw 4 fewer tds just because our entire offense dropped of, and he only threw one more interceptions despite attempting more passes. He had a great season and finished 5th in the league in passing yards and 2nd in tds.
