Carson Palmer

The more I see the more I like. The guy is playing nearly flawless football.

BIG change from last year! I keep waiting for him to fall off the wagon and go back to his indecisive/inconsistent "I want to be the next Brett Fav-ra" self. Hasn't happened yet, and I think he's actually gotten better every game this year.
Some of it might be mental. He was heavily hyped last year and played like a steaming turd. This year everyone dogged him before the season started. He's actually showing some truth to last years hype?

Out of all the QB's in college right now, I like Palmer's general make-up. Big rangy guy w/ a strong arm and a bit of a chip on his shoulder. Not a burner, but fast for a caucasian. Has shown an accuracy and consistency that didn't exist last year.
Any thoughts?

 

well, why hasn't he improved each year?

 

I'd never heard much of him til last year. He was heavily hyped in the preseason, then sucked. Even had some Heisman fodder tossed around about him. I think teh pressure got to him last year. He cme in this year under the radar and his attitude probably changed a "just play".

 

Some blame the coordinator changes. Lack of surrounding talent. He's a kid. Any number of reasons.

His confidence is up, and that's a big change. He still takes a lot of chances, and will throw some picks. But unlike last year, there hasn't been the snowball effect.

I'd love to see this kid in a Panther uniform. I'd love it even better if he'd fall to round 2.
