    The coaches have had the exact same viewpoint. Defense and Grossman. Continue that trend. A sure recipe for success.

        Japher, you obviously have a poor grasp of Murphy's Law.

        First, Palmer has a big night and stays healthy tonight, encouraging thousands of fantasy footballers to draft him early (along with Chad Johnson and TJ Who'sYourMama).

        Then he gets hurt in the first game of the season.

          Excerpt from Peter King's MMQB on SI.com
          BENGALS (Georgetown, Ky.): Everything about Carson Palmer says he's ready. Everything, that is, but his head. He tells me after his first scrimmage action of the year, on a Friday night before a full house at Georgetown College, that he's physically feeling very good, and the way he runs around and turns and cuts, it's obvious he's fit. But he tells me he still has flashbacks to the hit in the Pittsburgh playoff game that shredded his knee ligaments and put him on this hurried eight-month rehab. Even if he plays early (and I think he'll open the season against Kansas City), let me give this advice to all you fantasy players out there: Draft a quarterback you think you can win with behind Palmer ... and play the backup the first two or three weeks. Palmer's knee is in his head, if you know what I mean.

            The head is what half the battle entails in any injury.
            He's weak. He'll fail. He's just a house plant.

              Palmer admitted that it still swells and throbs occassionally... Marvin Lewis is a moron to play him. I fI were Palmer I wouldn't play and pay my $9500. Isn't that the going rate now adays?

                No.

                Also, Grossman is the Bears' future.

                  Watching MNF tonight, I'm thinking even the Bears could score against the Packers.

                      His last full season was 1997.

                      In contrast, John Elway and Dan Marino both played full seasons in 1998.

                        Us Redskins fans have fond memories of old Jeff George. People keep complaining about how Mark Brunell is too old, can't stay in the game, doesn't have what it takes anymore; let me tell you, he ain't nothin' compared to Jeffey boy. There ain't a quarterback alive who can disappoint so much, who can fail so badly when you need him most. Man oh man.

                              he's a house plant that can throw 3 touchdowns against Green Bay?

                                I sent this thread to him, and pointed out my comment. We then had a long talk about mental toughness. How you have to believe.
                                I'm glad to say, it took a positive turn.
