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**

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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
