I actually enjoy watching Palko play QB

[Coogs]

I know I am going to be in the major minority, but the dude is far, far easier for me to watch than Cassel. His pocket presence, and movements within the pocket are not painful to watch. When he is on the move outside the pocket, I actually expect something positive to happen. And he can find receivers who are open down the field, not recievers who are blanketed damn near every single pass play.

Carry on.

the Defense probably would give the effort we've seen vs the Steelers and the Bears if Cassel was playing. they know they have as much of a chance at winning with him as a snowball in hell.

Granted, Palko is likely statistically worse than Cassel on things like interceptions, so I'm not sure why I feel differently about them. Interceptions aside, I think it's because I don't see Palko doing inexplicable things like throwing the ball 20 yards into the stands instead of looking at his second read.

Palko is an enigma. He looks decent in several areas and seems to be able to move the ball. But then he'll make some bone headed decision and its a turnover. Kinda like Grbac.

They didn't make the playoffs with him last year.

He is a journeyman QB. But he does a lot of good things. If you were expecting our backup QB to be Rodgers, Brees, or Brady... then yes you probably think he totally sucks, like many people here do.

And he really hasn't turned it over since early in the game against the Steelers where he had the 3 in 3 plays. The one at the end of the game you really can't fault anyone. Time was running short, and a play had to be made. That's just football.

the Playoff season with cassel last year was tainted with a cupcake schedule, just look at it as if it didn't really happen.

Sure I can. That was a reeruned play. You have to protect the ball, especially on a game-winning drive. An incomplete pass there is far more acceptable than forcing it into pentuple coverage. Pumping off the safety and hitting Baldwin over the top would also have been better. Or throwing the ball out of bounds.

We had 38 yards to go and 38 seconds left with no timeouts. It's doeable yes, but at the same time we were not talking Rodgers here. This is a journeyman QB in his 2nd career start against the Steelers defense. Plus his #1 WR apparently communicated something to him during the route, then proceeded to do something different. Hard to fault a journeyman QB with virtually no experience from throwing to his #1 WR with the game on the line.

I guess I can enjoy a defensive game just as much as a 45-42 shootout. Now I really don't want to see 10-3 or so every week, but hey!

1) IIRC, we still had a timeout.
2) Tyler Palko isn't some rookie. He's 28 and has been in and out of the nfl for several seasons.
3) You can speculate all you'd like on who miscommunicated what, but you don't know shit, so don't state it like its a fact.
4) And yes, I can blame Palko for that pass. It was awful.
5) Palko single-handedly LOST that game.
6) I'm not sure why you are white-knighting on Palko's behalf here. He has zero talent. He is not fun to watch. But hey, at least he can administer an offense.

There is a big difference between saying "I enjoy defensive games" and "I enjoy watching my offense punt 11 times".

[Nightfyre]

There is also a big difference between a defensive game and a game in which both offenses are horribly incompetent.

You are correct on the first one.

As for the rest of it... damn dude!
