With regards to Warner and 11 TDs, you want to compare an injured Warner playing in St Louis and well as under the control-freak NY Giant coach and their dialed down system to the wide open passing offense the Bengals used? What about the wide open offense with the Rams when Warner started their ascent to the Super Bowl or here with the Cards after he got healthy?
Its not nice to compare apples to oranges, and tightly controlled offensives schemes to wide open passing offenses.
While I am excited to see what Palmer can do with the Cards receivers and BA's offense, Palmer has never approached Warner's accuracy nor Warner's deadly offensive precision in cutting up defenses. Case in point, remember when the Rams decided their best defensive game plan was to blitz Warner in order to neutralize him? Warner beat their blitz everytime and so badly that they gave up blitzing and played the nest three quarters with a straight up defense with zero blitzes. When has Palmer, Brady, the Mannings, Elway, or any other QB ever beat a NFL defense into such fetal submission that they defended the pass with 9 players and the rush with two down linemen?
Amazing how the excusemeisters come out of the woodwork for Warner. Oh my he was hurt. Oh my Coughlin is a control freak. Never mind that Manning threw 48 TD passes over the next two seasons in that control freak offense.
Warner was struggling for 5 years not just one or two. And he turned it around. So I think its fair to say that Palmer who has put up good numbers consistently most of his career can do the same in Arizona.
BTW: I don't know what Rams game you are talking about. The Cards played the Rams 10 times while Warner was in Arizona.
