Let's not get too excited about Palko. He played OK, but that second
interception was a high school QB throw. Looked a lot like it was thrown
by a previous Saints hero, Danny Awfull (Werful). High arcing lobs get
intercepted in the NFL. They can't be thrown. That interception lost
momentum while still travelling up and then fell down to earth. That's
High school folks, and nowadays the high school kids aren't doing it as
much. I'm not saying he's toast, just that he doesn't seem to have enough
arm strength and if he starts the other teams will learn it and take
advantage real quick.

See Montanna, Joe! Not a weak arm, but he could have been labelled
such. He was probably the best the game has seen, at least with the
supporting cast he had. Palko could be Montanna like, time will tell.

When it comes to QBs, what's on top of the shoulders is more important than
