It was only the first exhibition game but, if that offensive line doesn't play a lot better than it did, the person under center is going to be irrelevant.
I heard 2 say yesterday that Palmer throws a "catchable ball."
I'd rather have my receivers say "my hands are sore after every practice."
Didn't you watch him last season? He stole Chad Pennington's playbook. In addition, he's gotten worse since his 2005 cheap shot injury from Kimo Van I don't care to spell his name.As I posted on another forum, I believe Carson Palmer has become Chad Pennington. His arm looks atrocious last night.
Poor offensive line + Mentally shaky QB + Two diva WR's who want the ball = Hilarity ensues.
Not sure how many of you watch the preseason game last night, Cinn vs Dallas (I ony watched the first few series) but it looked to me C. Palmer can't throw the out anymore. His ball just hoovered on a few occassions.. This was his problem last year and it looks like he's not the same QB..
BFTW will know what I'm talking about, but Palmer was terrible in college until his senior season. Every year since his freshman year, he was ranked as one of the best QB's in the nation, yet he ended up having disappointing seasons. His only good year in college came when Carrol arrived.I think there was something lacking in Palmer (the elusive "it" factor) before his injury and that and enabler coaching just exacerbated it over the last 4 years. I remember back in 2005 the newly brash and hypercritical Felger announced one day that if he were starting a team he'd build it around Palmer rather than Brady, being as Palmer was younger and more prolific even though that had yet to translate into a damn thing. I stopped paying attention to most anything he said thereafter...
I think the jury is out on which of the four USC QB's if any will prove to be a true franchise player. But if I had to bet on one at this juncture it would be the one who never started there...
And I find it very odd that Felger would say something like that when Brady had won 3 super bowls and is only 3 years older than Palmer.
