Not to mention the fact that Carson Palmer didn't exactly replace the most consistent QB. Kitna had an outstanding year before that but despite that he still is not highly regarded as a perennial overachiever. Carson had the tools, no sense prolonging the inevitable. Brunell is one of the better overall career QB's in the league. His injuries in recent years, of course, cast a shadow of doubt but he at least has proven performance. We made it to the second round of the playoffs when he was
not 100% effective (maybe not even 50%). Let's think about what will happen if/when he is.
