Let's start here.
Of course. But I don't think Palmer has taken that hit. As has been stated repeatedly his biggest problem is his O-Line.Cincy pretty much drove the ball at will v Denver but, as is typical the Bengals, miscues (by the WRs and O-line & long snapper) killed every drive.I am not convinced yet that GB is a dominant defense and they are certainly not a "must avoid" defense like Pitt and Balt were last season.
Palmer has never been the same. Until he gets his head back, it will all remain the same. Is he mentally strong enough to overcome it? So far, no. Not enough fire in him.
Never been the same since what? The knee injury? The injury occurred in Jan of 2006 (IIRC) in the 2006 season he threw for 4000+ yards and 28 TDs (62%+ completions). In 2007 he completed 65% of his passes for a career high 4100+ yards and 26 TDs. What more do you expect from the guy?So apparently his non backers (like you) will say he is finished when clearly that may not be the case.
He threw for 4k yards in both seasons following his knee operation. He threw for 4k 0 times prior to that.
So it's the elbow that you are concerned he has not recovered from either physically or mentally. And you have determined he is not back from those physical and mental injuries after one game where he completed 64% of his passes for 250 yards and a 7.5 YPA?That is some serious prognosticating you got going there KooK.
Exactly what happened. Palmer played fine, the WRs (Coles, in particular) looked terrible.
Last week Benson averaged less than 4 ypc against a defense that was one of the worst in the league last year.
Physically the passes looked good but clearly they lacked a mental edge. How can you expect receivers to catch poor mental balls?
lol, awesome.
awesome...
Yup... I think at one point the commentators said he could have been something like 19/21 if his receivers could catch. Missed a TD by 2 inches, and one INT was a hail mary, two 15+ yard pass plays called back. I can really only remember 3 bad throws off the top of my head. Palmer looks fine.
mechanics wise palmer is one of the best in the game... he just needs some WRs that can catch the damn ball... if you have a better option i would sit him against green bay... their defense was nasty against the bears...
I don't know what "IIRC" means, but he's worried about that knee when he gets some heat. I can see it, can you?
Come on KooK you can add something more substantive than that...or have you lost your mental edge?
lol at Escondido.
Maybe his destiny, but I don't think Palmer is damaged goods. It's a bad situation for many reasons but he still looks like a pretty good QB to me, just a bit rusty.
Very insightful.I was honestly hoping that you could come up with even one argument in support of your premise in this thread but clearly you are scraping the bottom of the barrel and just resorting to insults, the last refuge of the intellectually defeated.Thanks for the
trip, it helps me keep my mental edge.I didn't watch the entire game, so I can't comment on that. The throws i watched him make seemed like they were on target, especially for not seeing any game action in like 53 quarters.IIRC= if I recall correctly
I was hoping GB would get up big and they would have to throw alot. GB offense will be better correct?
Cincy has a good defense. I wouldn't assume GB has their way with them after watching them against Chicago.
well if they exploit the great weakness at right tackle then they could slow the offense. Barbre is really really bad.

He has a degenerative knee?Seriously, your posts are borderline spam.
Would please post the link to the diagnosis that Palmer has no cartilage in his knees?TIA
Borderline? They are flat out spam. And useless.
What part of "his big years were after his knee injury" don't you understand?
borderline?I'd like to see how Palmer fares once Andre Smith gets back (remember, he has a broken foot). This o-line was already a poor one...I'm going to go search the Pool and see if I can find the o-line rankings that MoP did in the offseason.
