Great Palmer tidbit from MMQB

Confident players often say they’ll return better than they were before the injury, but in Palmer’s case, there is a tangible improvement he believes he’s making. Since he had to retrain his body anyway, he used the time to correct a flaw in his throwing mechanics–a bad habit he slipped into last season. He noticed on film that when he was working through reads on the left side of the field, as he was getting his eyes and his body to his second, third and fourth reads, he was putting his weight in his heels and leaning back, instead of staying on the balls of his feet. When that happens, he explains, your body naturally falls that direction. He saw on film that he was drifting to his left in the pocket, sliding into the left tackle and throwing off-balance.

Like hearing that a guy like Palmer continues to work on fine tuning his game. He is dedicated QB for sure

I still believe Palmer was going to have a great season & about to lead us to SB #2 until disaster struck against the Lambs...I think he's gonna have a helluva 2015 season, now the major question is can Bettcher pick up where Bowles left off in his first coordinator season?

Palmer is becoming my favorite player at this point.

Palmer is becoming my favorite player at this point.

Yes , his 13 and 2 record in his last 15 starts certainly shows us he is an impact player . I still have a ton of respect for #11 for all he has meant through the years to this franchise ,but Palmer is winning me over , and becoming my favorite player .

Great article, thanks for posting it. Greatest takeaway for me (bolded emphasis is mine):

After his mandated Tahoe trip, he’ll get back to work: physical therapy one day a week, and throwing three days a week. Some of his receivers and tight ends will join him in Southern California—including promising second-year receiver John Brown—to put in extra reps before camp.

For the second year in a row John Brown has stood out already, from AZ Central:

...his practice performances were staggering, drawing heavy praise from wide-eyed teammates.

With the extra reps with Carson in Cali, my expectations for this dude are pretty high. I can't emphasize enough how pumped I am about him right now. I love Larry, but John Brown has me excited.

Don't get me wrong about Larry, I still think he has game, but with him it's starting to turn into a nostalgia thing for me. He's no longer the best receiver on our team. I kept thinking he'd bounce back and dominate like he used to.

Carson Palmer is 35 years old.

35

years

old...

The only arena that isn't old is in a bingo hall. He can almost get us discounts at Golden Corral. BA has stated that he and Palmer would ride off into the sunset together, and I don't think BA says that lightly. Palmer is the perfect type of QB for BA--he's a freaking gym rat. But the window is almost closed.

(Yes, it concerns me. I honestly don't look forward to a scenario with no BA as coach and no Palmer as QB. We have to win now)
