his issue is in his midsection (core strength) - it's lacking. I'm pretty sure he is a good athelete, I was just telling clay, I bet the guy shoots a 75, bowls a 300 and could hit ten free throws in a row. But he needs core strenghth. STRENGTH is his problem.

Is this fixable?

I agree, it is like getting a tooth pulled, instead of your ear cut off with a butter knife.

Pocket awareness is a huge improvement, but damn, the guy is left handed and has his left foot forward in a gay pose at release.

Nobody could throw it very far doing that.

You would have thought the California Redwoods might have cured that problem.

I didn't know they made Medicine Footballs and I haven't figured out why they make Palko use them.

Steve Young?

He is better than Cassel at certain aspects but he can't throw the ****ing ball at all. Even compared to Cassel.

His arm isn't his best feature but he did chuck the rock 55+ yards today. I know most of us throw 70+ but 55 isn't really a completely weak arm. He just has some mechanics to work out. Don't misunderstand. Still not a Palko fan but he's not as awful as some of you would like to think. He is what he is - a journeyman career backup from 3 leagues. That's not going to get you far but he is what we have for now and I happen to enjoy watching him scamper away from pressure. Haven't really seen that in 3 years.

I was not able to see the game but I am curious about something. I noticed that Palko looked like a different QB on the last two drives last week. He was active before the snap and seemed to be much more in charge, moving people around before the snap and pointing out defenders. Was he like that at all this week?
