Palmer. More talented, more experience, more in tune with everybody.
Stanton has had a couple of nice games for us, and this experience will help him grow as a QB. Hard to say that at his age, but not playing for 4 years in a meaningful game means imo that at his age, growth is still possible. He's still slow to pull the trigger sometimes, and his passes sometimes are late. Can this get better, perhaps. Hard to say if it's more of him trying to be careful, or he is just seeing it late.
I've thought since we got both that we had the two best QB's on the roster since Warner retired.
When Palmer comes back, if he dings his shoulder or something else happens, we have a guy who we know and the team has confidence can take over for a stretch.
Absolutely no controversy, this is just showcasing that we have two NFL quality QB's on the roster. One's a good, but not great starter, and the other is a good backup who can start a few games when needed. It's been a while since we could say the Cards had that. I'm glad we do.
Oh and this can only help in negotiations with Palmer if we decide to extend him. We're not in a complete bind without him. Though I have a feeling Palmer is more interested in winning then breaking the bank and will give us a hometown discount if we're interested in bringing him back.
