The issue with Palmer is that he accepts no responsibility for his own failings.  

His rhetoric is nobody can win here. Why?  The other players aren't good enough.  Why?  Because management is incompetent and should do what I tell them to do.

When you're a $100 million dollar QB, the blame also falls on you. He couldn't handle that.  He couldn't take responsibility for years of his own mediocre play, either.  He blamed his teammates and management instead.

On top of it, he continues his rhetoric even after he was proven wrong.  A rookie 2nd round pick with an abbreviated off-season did in 3 years what Carson couldn't do in 9.  When you're not only replaced, but upgraded on, that quickly, you're not a $100 mil QB.  You're part of the problem, not the solution.

Joe Burrow never buried OSU in the media.  He even credits guys like JT Barrett for showing him how to prepare.
