With no recievers or running game still putting up yds and a CAREER HIGH of 15 INT his first year in a new system?
With decent numbers on a team that couldn't hold a lead to save their life.
Clearly he's older now and can't do some of the things he used to do and he was far from perfect in those stops however the disrespect for this man is just. I mean seriously Carson fukkin Palmer has a starting job in this league after not only throwing 20 pics with T.Ocho on his squad but then retired on some "I'm taking my ball and going home" shyt and he's only 3 years younger with a worse injury history. Rivers and Romo have had slightly better numbers but also better recievers, their teams have actaully tried running the ball as well. These nikkas squads have been the definition of underachieving both in the playoffs and regular season and despite the heat Romo has gotten and Rivers has just started getting they still aren't close to what Donovan was getting after 4 straight NFC titles games, a SB, and literally carrying the Eagles offense. I understand team wanna go young however you can't tell me that Arizona, Chi, Houston, Baltimore, Philly, NY, Dallas, etc. couldn't use this guy as a backup.
Donovan is a perfect example of why being respectful and playing your role and being a team guy is pure bullshyt. nikka never rocked the boat or created drama but was always being called out or attacked and got passed around like girl with low self-esteem. He deserves blame for taking it however that doesn't excuse the duplicity of the media and teams around the league. Beyond that, this nikkas accomplished more than pretty much any black QB you can name and black people (not all but too many) don't hesitate to co-sign what the otherwise "racist" media has to say about him.
palmer has kinda been ballin this year on the low
. This isn't isn't as much about production as it is opportunity and the basis for said opportunity...there isn't one.
