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.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They are 1 and 9 against the  Bucs in the past 10 games. the Panthers go as young goes.  QB1 ‘s are suppose to dictate and overcome  and elevate Everything the QB does affects every part of the team and Bryce is uneven. Canales and Bryce have  an uneven relationship too  as for Evero, the only thing that might save him is the injury to Baker’s left shoulder and oline injuries. I don’t even know how he is out there   I really feel their season ended last Sunday Canales’ division record isn’t great   Getting owned by the Saints and Bucs isn’t a good look

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Jacabee · Posted

      Frankly surprised by the amount of people that want to hang Evero. This was a defense that was almost universally considered the bottom of the barrel before this season started. We’ve managed to stat our way to the middle of the pack whatever that means. Those critical of the zone schemes, what do you want? When even JC is getting burnt one on one by Olave you have little choice. There definitely have been moments where the zone blitz stuff has bit us. That said, are the third string linebackers (and nick Scott) covering poo anyway? This unit had only conceded 10 points going into the fourth quarter despite a litany of bullshit penalties on both sides. Them over performing is the biggest reason we are still in playoff contention.
