2016 Palmer..

[Shaggy]

Who here thinks Palmer will have as good if not better year then he did last? Me, I'm not to sure. Yes I know its the preseason, but there was something up with him as he seemed off. Just not sure if he will be as good as he was last year, possibly not close to what he was.

What do you think?

 

[Shane]

I think he will be not as good as last year.. I also think with the running backs we have and how talented David Johnson is he will have less opportunity overall.... So many experts have said that they would pick us for the Super Bowl however they do not trust Carson Palmer in the playoffs… It's really kind of hard to argue with that analysis until proven otherwise unfortunately....

With the talent at RB this team will be more run heavy than it ever has and BA will take some of the load off of Palmer. BA will still take his shots down the field however I think less often and in better situations. I think we will see more time consuming drives and less quick strike drives. Figure in the talent at TE and this team is slowly evolving into a run oriented offense with quick strike capability.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

I think he has a better year because defenses are going to lock in on Johnson and the run game more.

It's funny people are basing CP's future performance on one bad game, with a broken finger to boot, and ignoring over 2 years of excellence.

Palmer has more weapons and will be a monster again.

I agree whole heartedly. He looked "rusty" to me in the preseason. It's tough to get the speed of the game down in practice and a few snaps a week in a meaningless game. By the end of the 1st Q Sunday night you'll see the good ole CP that we've all grown very fond of...

 

[Shaggy]

The thing is BA is a pass happy coach no matter if there are great RBs on the team, so I think there won't be much of a difference in how many times Palmer throws. I'm not worried about the bad game last year, it's how he looked in preseason that is worrying me.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

I think his INTs go up. My guess:

4250 yards 33 TDS 20 INTs

^This. I'll go by the pre-injury Palmer performance. Its hard to do anything with a dislocated finger let alone spin a football with four fingers. If no further issues exist, I expect CP to be in pro form. Tipped balls not counting.

He will have a big season. Regardless of how much talent we have in the backfield BA isn't going to stop having Carson sling it. We were top 10 in rushing attempts last season and he had a monster year so I expect more of the same. His stats might decrease a bit with DJ playing a deservedly bigger role but Carson will have plenty of opportunities to get his.

Could care less about how he looked in the preseason. He stayed healthy, which is the only thing that matters.

 

[vince56]

We have 2 great running backs in an Arians offense. You know what that means? Passes out of the backfield. He is not a ground and pound coach, we're still slinging it all over the field, and from what I heard from you guys that made it out to camp, Palmer looked fine.

No concerns, the preseason is meaningless and I'm sure he got those batted ball pick 6s out of his system. Time to beat some Patriots!

You mean all 22 passes he's thrown over 3 pre-season games without his full WR corps. That should be the least of your worries.

Carson is at the top of my least worried positions, he's gonna be great & our offense dynamic again.

Yeah peeps forget he struggled last preseason as well. He's gotta a 3 year period where's he's been great in BAs O. I'm not concerned.

 

[jbeecham]

I'm not worried about Carson at all. The guy is focused & knows he's got a great team around him. He's proven that he can play at a high level as long as he's healthy.

INTS will go up, but otherwise I expect a strong year.



I heard this topic on the radio a couple days ago. They were talking about whether Palmers 2015 season was a fluke.

My thoughts on that were "Hes been here for 3 years and put up 3 strong years. Playing QB in the NFL is too difficult of a job to accidentally have as much success as Palmer has."

So no, its not a fluke. Apparently its just a really good system fit for him to thrive

 

[nashman]

If Palmer is in the games I'm not worried! My only worry is he gets injured then we have to rely on a mediocre backup. Just like last season if the oline can keep Palmer on the field we will be very successful!

people are basing Palmer's future playoff performance on the fact that he's aways been bad in the playoffs... not based on one of the most horrific games of all time.

Personally, I think he'll be very good in the regular season again or I wouldn't have picked him as my starter for fantasy football, but I am skeptical about what happens in the playoffs. His history there in three different trips hasn't just been mediocre. it's been downright awful. he's got to play well in a game there before I can become a true believer.

Let's not put all the blame on Carsons shoulders because his teammates have played bad as well. Truth

let's not put words in people's mouths either. I never said Carson deserves all the blame and his teammates didn't. I just said he's been bad in every playoff game he's ever played in. Truth... unfortunately at this point.

His game against GB he had a 92.4 rating and threw for 349 with 3TD's and 2 ints. I'll take that any day.

Previously he had only started 2 games in the playoffs and in one he played 2 plays. So, I think it's a misnomer to claim he's a bad playoff QB until he has more of a sample size. A guy who was a bad playoff QB, comparable to regular season, is Peyton Manning.

 

[D-Dogg]

I just hope he stays healthy because Stanton looked like a trainwreck in preseason.

Then you must not have watched the game because he was WRETCHED through the first four quarters when he led the team to a whopping 20 points, had a fluke TD bounce off the GB defenders hands into Floyd's. Anyone who watched that game and thought he looked good is being completely disingenuous solely to make a point.

okay... even if you take away the first game, he's had three bad playoff games and none good. until then, the sample size is what is... ugly. plain and simple.

and i have no quibbles with peyton manning being a bad playoff QB. i've said that for years.

 

[splitsecond]

I think he will pass less because we have a real running game, but the team will have more big plays to make up for that.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

I'm not ready to call Palmer a bad playoff QB based on 3 games, one of which he won. He does need to "that year" where he gets on a run though.

You take away Aaron Rodgers 4-0 run to the SB and he's a below .500 QB in the playoffs.

Take away Wilson's 3-0 run and he's a .500 QB completing less than 60% of his passes and a QB rating below 90.

Palmer has to get that one run and all will be forgotten. Those guys have done it but it also took them a couple tries. This will be the year with a home field NFC Championship game.

I agree he was shaky early against GB but he ended up with a good, winning overall game. He's not the only QB to be graced by a fortuitous bounce.
