IIRC, Palmer's wife is from the Bay Area. Palmer is from Fresno. That makes a lot of sense. The 49ers have a decent offense (I don't buy Crabtree, Morgan and Ginn**... but Vernon Davis is a stud) and Palmer would give Harbaugh one less thing to worry about and would allow him to concentrate on grooming a successor. Plus, the 49ers could probably get Palmer for much cheaper than someone like Kolb.
And I don't even know if the 49ers need to worry about getting a successor in house this year. If the guy they target is available mid rounds, sure, but Palmer played on a horrible team with a horrible defense in a very tough division. In the whimpy NFC West, his schedule would be a cake walk.
Palmer to the 49ers for a 4th rounder and concentrate on drafting defense, WR and a successor to Gore.
Edit: **That said, Jerry Rice, Tim Brown and Marvin Harrison wouldn't look good with Alex Smith, JT O'Sullivan and the other cast of horrible QBs the 49ers have trotted out since Garcia left.
