We have no idea what Palmer has because Gibbs is scared to death to give the kid any playing time in the pre season, he saw the field once! Can someone please explain why you can't get your rookie QB at least 2 series a game in the pre-season? Gibbs acts as if the world will come to an end if a rookie QB gets some much needed experience in the pre-season, that little peek in the pre-season could provide valuable info on needs come next draft, and whether or not Palmer has real potential, or just a successful big brother.
