Random as fuck tidbits about every starter. Some are surprising. Some are interesting. Some are silly/useless.

Most of these are believable. Some of these are "haha, something went wrong" when Carson Palmer was the 8th most accurate passer.

Here's the rest of the write-up on Palmer from the article.

Carson Palmer

Did you know? Carson Palmer was the eighth-most accurate passer in football last year.

There were obvious signs that Carson Palmer was washed up before his career prematurely came to an end at midseason. But those signs weren’t as prominent as they felt when we went back to review his performances after the season. He was very accurate in difficult circumstances and gave plays a chance for success where other quarterbacks would have simply capitulated.

:noidea:

Did you know? in 2017, Joe Flacco shaved his eyebrows three times a day to prevent his face from being consumed by hair as opposed to once a day when he was drafted.
