So let me get this straight. Carson Palmer will make 16.2 mill this season? More than Brady, Manning, & McNabb? Can someone explain to me why? What has this guy ever done to warrant that salary let alone be considered a top 5 QB? How many playoff games has he won? What is his overall record as a starting QB in this league? Did he not lead the league in INTs in 07 and is coming off a season where he only played 3 games in 08? I cant think of any other QB in the last 10-15 years who's been paid so much and been praised so much for doing so little. Palmer is the most overpaid QB in the league clearly, and is also one of the most overrated. Dude is Drew Bledsoe Lite, a QB who needs perfect protection to make an impact and is about as good a leader as Drew was. This guy should be the posterchild of the overhyped overrated QB who cant get his team over the hump. But he isnt. This should be a do or die year for Carson coming off an injury and 3 straight years with no playoff appearances. But it isnt. Can someone please explain maybe why? :confused:

I'll see your Carson Palmer and raise you one Matthew Stafford and his $72 million/ $41.7 mil guaranteed before ever taking one snap in the NFL.

He gets paid because he plays in Cincinnatti. He is a better than average QB when healthy and given adequate protection, and nobody's beating down the FO's doors to play there, so they have to pay him to stay. There are plenty of teams that would love to have him and management knows it. If they lose him, who are they gonna get? Vick? Please.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By CRA · Posted

      Canales has never been part of big YAC offenses in the NFL.  That’s not his tree.  Not in Seattle, Tampa or here.  Every O he has been associated with basically has been bottom half of the league in YAC.  That’s what Bryce needs to happen though  2 very different things

      Well, his job is to win and make Bryce better and other stuff too but he has to have a certain amount of buy in to make that work. If it is real or he has to talk himself into believing it, as coach and leader and in the context of the present time with the whole team needing to believe, who knows? You lie if you have to.  I think you have have to separate that Canales from the detached offseason evaluation Canales. It is possible that you are correct and he is sold on Bryce. It is also possible that he isn’t, but cannot confess.

      Ah yes, the old "accuse your opponent of what you're actually trying to do" tactic. Always amusing 😄 You wanna drop out? No problem, but you should probably do so by just admitting the conversation is over your head.  Though truth be told, even if you don't wanna admit it, I'm pretty sure anyone reading this, watching you dodge the questions and just cut and paste the same recycled answers over and over again can probably already see that 😆
