Carson Palmer wants some

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.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By CRA · Posted

      I'll be honest.  I'm not sure I want to see any those guys returning right now given what others are presently doing.... minus Coker.  Hubbard returning likely messes the run game up (I mean, it's going to come down regardless but he still), Tremble and Evans actually are doing well, Corbett seems to make us worse up front, and the D has made some strides.  I'd like to just keep that whole lot on the shelf this week.

      Ikem Ekwonu is slated to GET PAID

      By Basbear · Posted

      I don't think people know that Icky is still only 25 years old. Panthers signed UDFAs older this year and drafted DJ Johnson. Heres a fact, a deep fact.... Its easier(much) to find a good-great QB than good-great LT. Another fact there's only 12-15 true LTs and the others are larping as LT.  SO....(I'm not a fan btw)......you nearly must resign him at all cost even with him being around the 12th best at times. Its the hardest spot to fill and he's still awful young with 4 years as a pro. Carolina already got 4 years of "cheap" service as well, that's invested time and effort.  The fan-side of me hopes he signs some top 5 at best top 3 big money deal. Just the cap keeps growing and LTs, young LT with experience are rrrrrrare and unique. Tag him if needed and tag him again, then trade him. I think he enjoys being/living in NC.  I hope he's stays on a team friendly deal, but those are soooo rare these days.  Only two options- pay him whatever, even if it's top $$$$$(uggggghhhh..) or tag him for 2027 and keep trying to pay. Worst outcome is trading him for couple 1s, 3s, and 5th maybe a player too.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By CRA · Posted

      I always loved DJ Moore.  I don't see him wanting to comeback here.  He seems to be tired of inconsistent QB play and you finally see that bubbling over in Chicago.  or maybe he just doesn't like the people.  He actually seemed fine with Fields.....and lobbied for them not to draft Caleb.  So maybe it's just a Caleb issue (and I think Caleb might have tons of baggage/issues that rub folks wrong)
