Starting to Think We Go QB Early

Trade him midseason? Lol you'd likely get nothing unless there was a major QB injury for a team in contention.

People around here have been saying for years that they would get the excitement back when we got a new coach.  But now that we have a new coach it has become "We have to have a new QB to get excited and sell tickets."

A new QB won't sell any tickets unless he wins, and if Dalton wins he will sell just as many tickets.  

You're right about one thing. It is getting silly when people are pretending that there was no excitement over Palmer immediately after he was drafted. The guy won the Heisman and was viewed as can't miss. Even Kitna himself was hyping him up, saying he was the Golden Boy etc.

Then again, I'm aware you weren't living around the city, so I guess I'll give you a bit of a pass. Still I think you're kinda pretending to be ignorant here. People were definitely hyped going into 2003 BEFORE we started winning.
