Hell, look at what happened to Palmer against the Chiefs when he had limited access to Oaklands playbook.

No, I totally get that. It's just the arguing over when he received his playbook is just silly. The guy was clearly not prepared, and his offensive line kept us from accurately assessing his potential.

There's no point in arguing whether he should have been as prepared as Andy Dalton or Cam Newton. At least those dudes played behind starting OL.

I'm in no way ready to write off Stanzi, because I'd like to see what happens when Albert, Winston, and the other starters are blocking for him and he throws to Bowe and Baldwin, not terrence freaking copper.
