<b>Drafted by:</b> Cincinnati Bengals, 2003.<br /> <br /> Palmer sat his entire rookie season to learn, but by Year 3, he had the Bengals in the playoffs, with the promise of much more to come. However, injuries and inconsistent play marred much of Palmer's time in Cincy, which was followed by a sub-.500 two-year stint in Oakland (Palmer went 8-16 with the Raiders in 2011 and '12). He managed to be a more effective player under Bruce Arians in Arizona. Palmer's ability to throw a nice deep ball dovetailed with Arians' belief that routine checkdowns are as enjoyable as routine enemas.
