3 #1's may get you Luck instead of someone who has shown NOTHING after coming off his injury

I heard they could have gotten Orton for a 6th rounder. Not that Orton's any good, but for that price I think he plays just as well as Palmer will or very close.

Ed Orton can play!

Good Point about Luck, especially if it's the Colts at #1.

I wonder how the offense will react from going to a mobile QB to a guy who's like a statue back there.

There had to be much better/cheaper options out there than Palmer. Besides, what do they do with Campbell next year after giving up 2 potential #1 picks?

They can't even justify this with they want to win now line. Palmer hasn't played in 10 months, I don't care how much he has been working out and he is coming into a new system. I'm waiting for a report that this is a Sid-Finch like hoax. It is that bad a deal.
