Carson Palmer Sucks

[cincygrad]

Palmer on Thursday night. Should be interesting.

Who you got?

Russell Wilson is just another reminder of what we don't have at quarterback.

 

[cincygrad]

I suppose it might help if the Cardinals still played defense.

Wilson is the tits.

 

[bengaldoug]

That pick could have been a td if Palmer leads him right. But his pass protection is nonexistant.

 

[flamingrey]

So much for that shutdown defense.

The Cardinals defense is easy. Get the TE involved and you'll be rolling.

 

[bengaldoug]

People are running wide open everywhere.

Another underthrow by Palmer.

 

[flamingrey]

Carson has been under-throwing deep balls all season.

 

[bengaldoug]

Again, the protection sucks....

 

[flamingrey]

Again, the protection sucks....

Arians - by his own account - doesn't believe in giving help; it doesn't allow him to go 5 wide every single 3rd down.

 

[bengaldoug]

To be fair, Palmer is a guy who really needs a clean pocket, and he doesn't have one very often.

 

[cincygrad]

It's a pretty craptastic offense..... I'm not sure how many years it takes to correct a bad offensive line, but AZ is definitely pushing it.

Maybe if Palmer were more of a scrambler or a guy that succeeds on broken plays he could have some success..... But their issues don't fit his skills very well.

 

[bengaldoug]

This is hilarious. Arizona linemen strewn on the ground on every attempt to run.

 

[bengaldoug]

Third and one is definitely a passing down for these guys.

 

[cincygrad]

I liked when the corner blew up the tackle.

 

[flamingrey]

Arizona has the 30th ranked o-line in pass protection. I couldn't find the run stats, but each of their o-lineman (except the RT) has a negative grade on the season.

Edit: As do each of their TE's.

 

[bengaldoug]

Their tackles are horrid.

 

[cincygrad]

This really makes me appreciate our line.

 

[bengaldoug]

Exactly. Could you imagine Dandy behind these clowns?

Exactly. Could you imagine Dandy behind these clowns?

He'd likely just throw it immediately to the guy that ran a 2 yard route. He'd be the master of getting 4 yards on 3rd and 6.
