I am confused at all this Palmer support.


Palmer was better than Pendry. McKinney is a better guard than center. Hot dogs taste better than Spam. It's all relative.

The early 2005 offense was the Palmer offense as compromised by Capers/Pendry. The 2004 offense was Palmer's and featured more deep throws.

Okay, if this is true (and I'm not telling you it's not - this is the first I've heard this spin put on it) ... lol might I inquire about the source?

Straight question: not accusing you of BS, just wondering where your intel is from.

I did a taste test at Krogers. The hot dogs were definitely better than the Spam. Personal experience.

Oh wait - were you asking about the football?

I thought Palmer was known for his complicated read and adjust offenses. We can just look back at the stats to see we threw more long balls previous to 2005.

As far as Capers/Pendry undermining the Palmer offense, I think that the 2005 conservative offense was much more in line with their philosophy and that conservativism had noticeable effect on the "new" 2005 offense that was supposed to protect Carr.


I'd be interested in hearing other people's opinions on this - maybe my "common knowledge" isn't.

Well regarding this, I don't have much knowledge. I am just speaking on what I see: if Capers and Co. were screwing with Palmer's O, then it's the first I'm hearing of it, but sure, it's a possibility. Certainly in 2004, our offense looked different ... so what changed?

Hot dogs are better than Spam. I also enjoy turkey franks. You ever seen hot dogs made? Will make you think twice about ever eating one again ... but not for long.
 
From what I know of Palmer's Offense it is a pretty difficult offense to learn, but relatively successful when learned. In Cleveland he could not really get it to stick, but he has had success in other places. Palmer is a big fan of throwing the rock around, but he also puts his QBs in harms way with a lack of blockers and longer routes. Palmer was not the right fit for our organization and Pendry was horrible. Capers is a good coach, just may not be suited to be a HC. Glad we have Kubiak, Sherman, and Calhoun now. Should look like an aggressive Denver offense and that will be nice to see.
