Where does Carson Palmer rank in QBs the Panthers have faced this season?

[Jeremy Igo]

Does he belong up there with Aaron and Russell?

Is he on par with Drew?

Should he be around Andrew and Matt? 

 

 

[chknwing]

I'd rank him above andrew and matt and below the other 3.

[B.BERSIN]

Oh he's like football god and he's gonna eat our secondary alive!

[RoaringRiot]

I think 4th is about right. However, I do believe he has the most weapons of any of the QBs we've faced

[Khyber53]

Looking at career or this year? He is having a career-best year, but I think if you look at those we've faced this year, I wouldn't mark him in the top three.

I'd rank them: Brees, Rogers, Luck, Eli Manning (hard to argue with the Super Bowl rings), Wilson, Ryan, Palmer, Bradford, Romo...

Both Winston and Mariota have the opportunity to really zoom up there, but they're rookies so it's not really fair to judge them in the crowd. Bortles is on his way up as well. We'll leave Cousins, McCown and Mallet in the unranked category.

I just don't see him as being the big QB threat they are making him out to be. He's good, he's experienced and he's been coached to play his best. I just don't see him as elite, but more of a benchmark QB, i.e. if your QB is at Palmer level and above, you've got a good starting QB. Below Palmer on the list, you aren't going to be competitive week in and week out.

It's more about the skill players and coaching. McCown tore us a new one. Palmer can too.

Ryan Mallet

Did you seriously say Bradford?

[BIGH2001]

Palmer is Matt Ryan with better receivers.  A career filled with underachieving and big game chokes, that's Matt Ryan.  I don't see how anyone is worried about this loser coming on the road and winning a conference title game.

This year, top 3

good comparison

[B.BERSIN]

Seriously, I'm gonna check his tape against the Packers to see how he got his virgin playoffs win.

[stirs]

Immobile guy who is accurate and has the best set of receivers we have faced.

Put him on a par with Brees and Manning

[NanuqoftheNorth]

Let Palmer stand back there in the pocket and do his thing and he could be one of the more lethal QBs we've faced this season.  Mostly because of his experience and who he is throwing to.
