Carson Palmer is the most OVERPAID QB in NFL history

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.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
