But he had a more consistent career than Burrow despite playing on some much worse teams. In 2000 Palmer ranked #1 in the Pac-10 in completions and completion percentage and top 5 in passer rating despite playing for a losing team. He finished in the top 2 in the conference in completions and completion percentage three times each. On the other hand Burrow only finished higher than 12th in his conference in passer rating once.
This. A bunch of us "old timers" remember the show Palmer put on during his senior year. I can't imagine what he would have done in these spread type offenses.
You honestly couldn't draw up a better looking QB physically. People also tend to downplay just how damn good that 2005 team was. Had we not been in the Manning/Brady era and the Kimo strike, they very easily could have been GREAT for a long time,
