He has everything. You talk to smart coaches around the league, Sam is one of those guys that they put in a different category. It’s just going to be a matter of time for him. I feel like this offseason with the disarray and how crazy it’s been, he’s been so consistent every day doing the same things and just being methodical with his work, communicating with his teammates. He’s heading into Year 2 with this system and with Sam, I don’t think it’s big, major changes. I think he has to continue to stay the course and he’s done that,’ Palmer recently said on ESPN’s NFL Live.
