Palmer expected to start today 10/12 vs WASH

[schutd]

Just reported on NFL network. Surprise!

 

[azmike74]

I can hear the mad dash of the changing of picks in football pools. And I better go double check my pick for that game!

 

[Jim Otis]

schutd , did I ever tell you that you are a Great Poster , thanks Dude !!!!

 

[Finito]

I fully expect him to look very rusty

I fully expect him to look very rusty

Rusty Palmer > woozy Stanton + Low-Gain Thomas

 

[CardsFan88]

the Cardinals have some nerve!

Hope it is Palmer, but still speculation until he actually warms up and throws.

Well played

Mike Jurecki ‏@mikejurecki
.@JayGlazer reporting Bruce Arians needs to see Carson Palmer make all the throws before they decide who the starting QB will be today.

I'm happy by this news but at the same time I'm kinda nervous. I hope Palmer doesn't rush things.

 

[Snakester]

I hope he's healthy and we win like we should.

 

[Shaggy]

I'd rather him sit out for one more week. Seems like he is rushing into this when he clearly wasn't 100% on Friday. Stanton is able to play, so why push it?

 

[D-Dogg]

Good. This is a much needed return.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

It's not official until Jay Glazer says it is !

Even if Carson Palmer can make all the throws in warmups---his shoulder is still not 100%, he hasn't been getting significant practice reps with the offense and as of two days ago all he was doing is lobbing the ball 30 yards. Having caught passes from Logan Thomas all week, the decrease in velocity from Thomas to Palmer could be too much of an adjustment for a WR unit that dropped too many passes last week.

I totally agree! I hope they don't start Palmer.

I suspect Drew makes the start. Given the injury situation at the position (and other positions on the team), why not leave the opposition guessing until kickoff?

Drew makes the most logical sense, all things considered.

 

[CardNots]

All three QBs active. Palmer is the starter, so he starts. As it should be.

 

[Zeno]

I totally agree! I hope they don't start Palmer.

A 60%+ Palmer is better than a 100% Thomas. If Thomas starts it will be like the days of Max Hall/Jon Skelton/Ryan Lindley.

Actually i think worse.

 

[unseenaz]

He must be fired up

 

[Zeno]

Actually i think worse.

I don't think he could be worse than Lindley was as a rookie, he was probably the worst QB I think I ever saw. Thomas is probably worse than Skelton was though.

 

[Darkside]

I liked Skelton, thought he had good pocket poise. Turns out he just didn't know what was going on.

Totally agree.

I just hope the Cards & Carson aren't acting in desperation. I'm very concerned his health isn't close to 100%, which could lead to another setback & end of postseason hopes.
