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.

“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.

    • I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction     
    • Better than a fragile starter, though
