I know it was tongue in cheek. I just always found it interesting that Fitz was able to guide that team to a better record than Palmer.
Honestly, I think it had a lot to do with Ced Benson and focusing on the run game. The o-line just wasn't pass protecting well.

He is a lot better now though. Someone along the way turned him into a quality player.
Yeah he definitely came a long way, starting with the Bills. Last year was a career year for him. He's actually a pretty solid starter now, but he's still mistake prone.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
