Carson Palmer = Yes Please

[CatMan72]

Eagles fans could probably overlook that due to the high yards TDS and rating and low interceptions he compiled for 11 years.

I get the feeling if were were pursuing Joe Montana in his prime people would complain about his throwing motion

Yeah, I wouldn't take most Eagles fans word for anything - they never appreciated McNabb no matter what he did.

[CatMan72]

...and consider this: the Skins will probably end up releasing McNabb so he could be had without giving up anything.

[Paintballr]

I agree with the statement of him being like Warner in Arizona. Ask your self this, did anyone really think Warner would bounce back the way he did after the last 2 years he had in St. Louis or the year in New York? He then turned it around and helped Arizona out.

I would def swap firsts with the Bengals for Carson Palmer.. we would get a big upgrade at QB and still be able to get Marcel Dareus or Patrick Peterson.

That is why I think McNabb would be a more realistic possibility. The only question is does he want to come to a team that is rebuilding and just went 2-14?

But no matter who we draft, if he is released we need to take a long look at him and see if he fits and what his interest level would be.

McNabb was 26-49 for 357 yards against the Packers last year... you know, the guys that won the SB.

It was a valid criticism if you wathced him play a lot.

I wouldn't be upset with either guy really, outside of whatever it might take to trade them. I just think Palmer would be a better fit given the systems each are from and that Palmer didnt suck ass recently.

Yup, that same question applies to Palmer...

[Panthers_Lover]

Tired of reading most of you say Palmer is not needed here.

News Flash: He would instantly be the best QB the Panthers have ever had.

6'5, 236lbs , he fits the physical mold that Rivera has stated he wants.

31 years old, 9 years experience. He has 4-5 good years left in him. He would not be a "stop gap"

First overall pick in 2003. Guess what, he wasn't a bust unlike the majority of QB's in this years draft inevitably will be.

Career QB rating of 86.9. Palmer was 6th in the league in passing in 2010 EVEN THOUGH the Bengals averaged a league low 3.6 yards per carry on the ground. Think teams were game planning against the run? Think again.

In short, shut your pie holes, we would be fortunate to get Palmer.

Agree

Carson palmer is about as good as Eli Manning, and in truth that would be good enough for us.

[car5nc]

Doesn't anyone remember the Panthers-Bengals game last year. Palmer wasn't even the best QB on the field that day. That say enough for me..

[bleys]

I think palmer is in win now mode. He's been apart of a rebuilding project his whole career. Him coming here would be like steve smith asking "in"to the panthers after playing with the raiders.

I will never understand this type of comment.. we don't have that many holes.. we just got rid of our incompetent coaching staff (offensively) and our only major hole on offense is QB..

so to add a QB who is at least average compared to what we have now doesn't mean we are going to be as bad as we were last year..

tighten up our DTs and a few other spots and we are a legitimate team that has a good chance at making the playoffs..

[monstercat]

They showed his numbers since 2008 on ESPN, and they are not good. He's way down in every category since he hurt his knee. I guess anything is better than the status quo though. It would be almost impossible for Palmer to be as bad as what we have seen lately, that's for sure.

Agreed. Our holes last year were the passing game, injuries on the offensive line and poor play at the tackle. Get a QB, get Otah healthy, and get a couple of new DT's, and we could be good this coming season.
