Exactly the kind of personality I’ve wanted in our QB for forever. And before I get jumped on by the Dalton Gang for being a hater, Palmer didn’t have it either, and I was a big fan of his.

EXACTLY!  

That's what leaders do!  That's what inspires teammates!

I know it's completely different circumstances, but it reminds me of a quote that I base my life around:

"When life knocks you down, calmly get back up, smile, and say "you hit like a *****"!

How many other quarterbacks in the league have that attitude?!

Still waiting on Fred's response because I'd be interested to hear it!

The Marvin and Dalton forever gang, BTW.

Palmer had that confidence early in his career (pre-injury) and then again the year before T.O. got here, but never that swagger that just said "come and get some, bitches!  I'm not afraid of you!  I own you!"

Money makes the world go round.  Officials know that.  They won't get big time games if they let the fans be disappointed by stars getting knocked around.

Yep, but when you win 6 Super Bowls and appear in 3 more for a team like the Patriots.
