Where would peak Carson Palmer rank today?


CP3MVP

Recommended Posts

Palmer is a better pure passer than a lot of guys today but people are forgetting he loves to turn the ball over like crazy, has a 62% career completion rate, and is a complete and utter statue in the pocket with zero play extension ability. He would not be a Top 10 QB right now.

I'd say with Palmer in place of Goff, they might have won the NFC Championship.

I mean what about Carson’s playoff career would have you believing that

cheats on his wife and she wants out of Cincy so he quits on his team.. no respect for this man

he was a great QB though..  2005 they could have won it all if he didn't get Kimoed

Prime Palmer, though. Or at least the 2015 version. Wasn’t as turnover prone, and can’t hold the career completion percentage against him if we’re taking him at his best season.

Possible, but it’s not like Palmer has this reputation for coming up big in the playoffs, either.

2015 Palmer is probably viewed in the Goff tier, or right below that.  Some would say top 10, most would probably have him top 12.   2005 Palmer is going to be argued top 5 with the Herberts/2022 Lawrence types.

He was underrated in his time. That Kemoeuatu (spelling?) knee injury has to be an all time what if from Bengals fans

From like 2003-2008ish it felt like he was one of the only guys who really got me “worried” going against those top tier Ravens defenses
