Carson Palmer wants some


top dawg

Recommended Posts

I guess that the Panthers left a bad taste in Carson Palmer's mouth after the thrashing the Cardinals took earlier this year at the hands of the Panthers. Carolina is not only in his mouth, but appear to be in his head as well.

Quote

“Obviously, it didn’t go the way I wanted or we wanted, there was a handful of balls I missed in the Green Bay game but we were able to come out of there with a win,” Palmer said. “But I’m chomping at the bit to play Carolina again. Obviously, that one’s hanging over my head..."

Honestly, I am surprised that he still has teeth to chomp on anything after getting smashed in the mouth so picture-book-perfectly.  

My granddad used to say, "Get all you want, but eat all you get." 

Carson will get his on October 30th (so to speak), but its the Panthers that will be feasting.

Will that game be one that ruins him?  Oddly similar to the fall of Delhomme.  Same teams, opposite results.  I believe they even had the same number of turnovers in that game(6), as we did in the 2008 playoff meeting.**queue eerie music**

Yeah but wasnt that also paired with an injury to Delhomme?

His injury happened in like the 3rd game of the 2007 season.  I think he had the Tommy John surgery in October of 2007.  That's the year we brought in Testaverde.  Delhomme led us to the 12-4 record in 2008, and imploded in the playoff game against the Cardinals.  When 2009 started, he basically picked up where he left off in that playoff game.  Led the league in interceptions, and eventually got benched, then released.  This was all after the huge extension he got during the off-season.

Jake had come back from Tommy John surgery in 2007 and started strong, but his arm strength definitely faded as the year went on. Aside from the 2008 meltdown, Jake was always up to the challenge in big games... Palmer, not so much.

Now factor in Palmer's age, and it's not going to get a whole lot better for him.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
