Also, I didn't really give up on the 2010 team until week 8 or so and even then I remember people being fired up about Palmer throwing the ball to Simpson/Caldwell/Shipley/Gresham after the San Diego game. Palmer looked great and happy and rejuvenated and the narrative then was that Chad and TO could go kick rocks (an unfair opinion, but I can get it) and 2011 was going to be promising with Palmer and the rookie receivers working without Brat, Marvin, and Benson who really went fumble-crazy that year.
Soon after Marvin and Benson are kept and Palmer/Chad/TO go out in a burst of sour grapes and the narrative as to who needed to go fit what we were going to be seeing in 2011...again, it makes sense.
As little hope as we have that this team will improve any time soon and we know we are really bad in 2019 and will likely be for a while, If Dalton alone pulled a Palmer I assure you we'd quickly declare him THE reason we sucked so much and we'd get fired up about the NEW DEY with Finley even if nothing else changed. Remember, before we even drafted Dalton people were declaring Dan LeFevour and Jordan Palmer to be much better leaders than Palmer.
All 4 of them...
