$$man has spoken

But the people who try to say he played against the 3rd stringers is complete garbage he played against some starters and then 2nd stringers he didn’t play against 3rd stringers the 4th QB did, the starters played part of the 3rd quarter when he came in the game because Matt didn’t play.

This coming from a Cardinals fan who was unwilling to label him as a bust until he got knocked out of the Texans game last year.

Up until that point I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and just say that he got beat out by a potential future hall of famer (Warner) and then had a biased coach (Whisenhunt) after he clearly outperformed Derek Anderson in the preseason of 2011.

When he signed with Houston I thought he was in a great position for when Schaub inevitably got hurt. He had a golden opportunity and instantly got hurt when his chance arrived. When he got hurt with with the Raiders it became almost comical.

Pryor will easily be the #2 QB at some point this year.

This has my vote for worst post and worst argument of the day. What on earth do CAREER VOLUME PASSING STATISTICS have to do with proving or disproving whether Palmer is a good or bad fit for the version of the West Coast offense that Knapp runs? What do statistics accrued playing for Hue Jackson and Bob Bratkowski have anything to do with whether he is a fit for the Knapp system?

This is the most asinine-ten-eleven asi-twelve argument anyone could make. We know Palmer WAS good and that he put up great numbers in the past in DIFFERENT systems what we’re looking at is his fit for the CURRENT system (BTW how’d he do last year?)

The Knapp system involves alot of bootlegging and getting out of the pocket and misdirection to setup passing plays – Palmer is not a particularly athletic QB and is more of a strong-armed downfield pocket passer. What attributes does Palmer have that make him a good fit for the Knapp system? I’m not knocking Palmer, I’m a fan of the guy and think he could still be elite in the right system and environment but I question your “logic” that he is a fit for the Knapp system

Palmer is fine. The one INT was Eddie McGee’s fault. However the one picked off by the DL was on Palmer. He seems to have a stupid INT every game. That can’t happen when the games actually count!

Lets not read too much into his numbers.

I’ve heard some say Palmer is a bad fit for Knapp’s offense. That’s complete nonsense. Let’s look at some stats. Palmer has an 86.3 career QB rating. That’s 18 ALL TIME, and better than Eli Manning’s 82.1. Palmer has a 62.7 career completion percentage. That’s 14th ALL TIME. Just to compare, that’s better than Matthew Stafford (you know the hot shot young gun we just beat) at 59.8 (38th all time). CP also is 10th among active QB’s with 7.2 yards per attempt. That’s right in the neigborhood with Peyton Manning at 7.6 (6th) and Brady at 7.5 (7th).

Palmer has the intangibles you need in your QB too, like being the hardest worker and good leader. Shoot, he’s Pryor’s biggest cheerleader and mentor.

Yeah, we’ll be just fine with Palmer. He’ll be even better when our best receivers in Moore and Ford come back. This team looks like the class of the West. The defense looks vastly improved, and the offense should be even better than last year.

My concerns at this point are special teams and red zone scoring. Points follow yards, though. As long as we keep moving the ball like we have, the points will eventually come. CP is not the problem he’s part of the solution.

Palmer might not be a good fit for Knapp’s offense and has struggled this pre-season but the suggestion of Pryor being in the conversation is as rediculous a knee-jerk suggestion as any – heck even Leinart, ridicule him all you want, is a far better player (at this point) and a good fit Knapp’s offense
