Carson Palmer believes he has more zip, velocity than a year ago

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians believes quarterback Carson Palmer wore out his arm during offseason workouts in 2016. This year, Palmer did a lot less — and he consequently has a lot more in the tank as preparations commence for the season to come.

“You feel like you have more zip, more velocity,” Palmer said before Saturday’s initial training-camp practice, via the Associated Press. “I feel like I can go out and throw 150 balls in practice. I don’t think I felt that way coming into camp last year.”

That’s good news, especially in light of Palmer’s advanced age. Which he refuses to regard as advanced age.

“In football years, I think it’s perceived once you get to 35 you’re old,” Palmer said. “But if you can still put it on every day and play and work out and train and prepare mentally, I look at is as being experienced and mature.”

I don't think that will improve at 38

The Arizona Cardinals faced a scare this offseason as quarterback Carson Palmer appeared to be in limbo on whether or not he'd return for 2017. Palmer was believed to be a legitimate threat to retire, and if he walked away, the Cardinals were going to need a Plan B pretty quickly.

As it turns out, Palmer was probably never going to retire, he told Kurt Warner on NFL Network Tuesday. It was just a matter of taking a little bit of time to confirm his body was capable of playing again.

"There was no doubt I wanted to play. Mentally, emotionally, I have the same desire to play. But your body only has so many years in it, so many seasons in it," Palmer explained. "So I just needed to get away to see if that time of the year my body was going to tell me no. Thank God my body told me yes, and gave me another opportunity. But no doubt, I wanted to play midway through the year, at the end of the year, a month after the season, two months after the season.

That is 100% truth, and a natural occurrence but that is a COMPLETELY different conversation. LOL!

I was sarcastic
U can believe in everything u want but the clock is ticking and we are changed

I think Palmer's been fine with the exception of game 1. It's the offensive line that's been a nightmare.
