My post had nothing to do with whether to take Palmer or not,so dont lump me in with "all of you" !
I personally like Palmer,and thought he would have been the best of the rest mentioned at the start of the season to "Compete" with Henne for the starters job at the time,but that time has passed for the start of the year.
I have always said it has not all been Hennes faultfrom the beginning with a terrible offensive line the last few years,not enough good players around him,and an offensive coordinator that wasnt very good.
I said Henne deserves this year to either prove himself,or not,and thats what I still say. If he doesnt,I have no problems moving on,but I think Henne is already showing vast improvement already with better players around him,and if the o-line does improve,and I do think it will,at least somewhat,I think Henne will have a good year.
One thing you fail to note is Palmers decline since his injury,and although I do believe Carson can once again be a very good QB,as I said,I actually wanted to bring him in to compete at the start of the season,and push Henne, I dont want to bring him in and just hand him the job if Henne proves with better talent he can do the job and get it done. Henne has a great,strong arm,and is young and has many years left to be a great franchise QB if he turns that corner this year.If not,thenmaybe bring in Palmer next year,but no matter what,we need to find a QB in the draft next year with great potential for the future,if Henne doesnt get it done.
