He certainly isn't any worse.

Exactly.

Rodgers and Brees are better than Palko? Say it ain't so!

Charles ran for 58 yards... Less than what McCluster just put up against the Bears, with 6 more carries.

Seriously though ... I'm with you, Mr. Coogs.

The line did Palko no favors today. Not only did they point him out to the defense, but they killed some drive deals with stupid penalties. We had 2nd and 3 at one point that wound up being 2nd and 13 that turned into a punt, for example.

Palko has mobility, learns from his mistakes, and does the moose ears better than any other quarterback in the league at this point.

I agree that it is easier to watch Palko play than Cassel. Cassel can't think under pressure, he panics. Obviously, Palko doesn't have the arm to be anything more than a backup, though. (Obviously, Cassel doesn't have the head to be anything more than a backup.)

Lol did not read.

The mere threat of Charles causes enemy defenses to question their manhood.

Everything is pretty kosher until he releases the ball.

And he only got sacked twice. I fear Cassel would have went down as many times as the stiff playing for the Bears did today. In fact, I told my son that Henne's (sp) play at QB reminded me a whole bunch of watching Cassel. Painful!

Saying you like watching Palko play QB compared with Cassel is like saying you like looking at Rosanne naked versus Rosie O'Donnell.

What is the point?

I agree with coogs. Other than arm strength, which is likely a fatal long-term flaw, I think he may beat Cassel in every other facet of the game. I can see why the Chiefs have kept him on the roster.

I'll admit, though, that arm strength is a hard thing to teach. That's a problem.

Thigpen Part II.

Palko has won more games than Brodie Croyle :D

When I watch Palko play, I cannot get my mind around how he was able to play at the college level. Seems like most guys I know with four working limbs should have been able to get a full-ride scholarship to Pitt if he did. I can't even comprehend how he played QB in high school. He is an unmitigated walking cluster**** of a disaster.
