Sheesh. Why don't we let BA worry about Palmer being ready or not? I think he knows more about it than any of us on this board. Nothing very constructive in this discussion.

Palmer probably will start if he is 100%. If he is at 98% I suspect Stanton will start with a very short leash. He starts going 3 and out and then Palmer will come in.
So what are we supposed to discuss? The coaches and front office know more about everything relating to the team. I guess the only thread each week should be Rugby's "We Won/We Lost??? This is what fans do. I'm not "worried" about Palmer but I enjoy discussing/reading takes like when Palmer should come back.
No matter who starts, I don't expect him to have a short leash. That really hurts a QBs confidence. BA doesn't seem that impulsive in my opinion, he seems like a guy who makes a decision and sticks with it.
Yanking QBs like that doesn't just hurt the confidence of the guy you're yanking, but the next guy up too. Constantly looking over your shoulder sucks.
Stanton even mentioned Monday being yanked at halftime the last time he played SF when he played for Detroit, and that was many years ago. It sticks with a dude.
My only real concern is that Palmer feels pressured to come back before he's ready because of how Stanton has played and all the press he's gotten. To believe that though we'd have to believe Palmer cares about himself more than the team and I don't think that's the case.

This is along the lines of Mulli's trade joke but it could be that BA and Palmer are totally playing mind games with Denver and that Palmer isn't close to ready and that Stanton is starting against Denver no matter what.
Never trust BA when it comes to stuff like this. He even admits he lies. And even then he's lying.

Palmer should be 100%. I was watching Fox sports and they had a doctor on going over injuries. When they got to Palmer's, the doc explained that CP's nerve "went to sleep" and once it wakes back up, it's awake and back to normal. There is no gradual comeback just when it's back, it's back.
CP should be fine moving forward.

The Cardinals game against the Broncos next Sunday is gonna be the hardest I have ever rooted for Arizona in years.
Really hope Palmer is well and ready to go.

I remember reading something similar with Channing Fry and the Suns training staff a while back. Essentially, one of his ass cheek nerves was asleep, throwing off his balance and shot. Once they got it back to normal he shot the ball much better. It did not help rebounding or defense, however.
So you agree with this sentence from the opening post:
These are football players we are talking about, not 10 year old kids. They get paid handsomely to wreck their bodies and they have chosen their particular line of work. By the time week 10 or 12 rolls around, very few players are even at 100%, so to ask for 150% is ridiculous.

I'm okay with demanding 150% from a player as long as you don't do it more than 110% of the time.

What are the fuzzy math numbers , when you apply those percentages ??
Please Explain !!
Well then comment on the absurdity of that instead of just writing that it's the coaches job to worry and therefore we don't need to talk about Palmers injury
1) no such thing as 150%. Please lookup what "per cent" means.
2) Save the drama for your mama.

I did comment on it. The premise of the post was silly to began with and makes one wonder of the motive of the individual considering some of the other threads they have started. I can understand some of the angst of the other participants of this thread in regard to this subject.

I 110% agree with you.
