Tiger Stripes Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 this weekend palmer is participating in the qb challenge it will be very interresting to see how he does. :player: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadLuck Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Honestly, I expect he'll do extremely well for a second year guy. Palmer has excellent timing, accuracy and arm strength.. just as good as anyone in the NFL, and he makes great reads on defenses. The only knock against Palmer is his mediocre college career numbers and his tendency to lock on a receiver rather than keeping an eye on everyone... neither of those things should come into play during the challenge.

wookie Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Agreed...Palmer will represent!!!His college numbers were better his senior year...the only season he got to play the same system from the year before. I think it made a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadLuck Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Definately. A consistant system to work with really improves anyone's play, especially the QB. That's why sitting Palmer was such a great idea, actually. 2 years in the same system can make a phenominal difference, as shown by his college numbers.

BengalszoneBilly Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Didn't Jeff Blake always do well in those?Jesus. If Blake always did well I hope Carson stinks the place out in the Challenge. I want no parallels between the two! :player: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B24 Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Palmer didn't do to well on the first day. He's in 7th place I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Palmer didn't do to well on the first day. He's in 7th place I think. What I DID notice is when Carson had to hit the reciever on the deep route, he hit him in perfect stride, even though the throw was slightly too long to be ruled inbounds! That's something Kitna would be totally incapable of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrishcovga Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Looked nervous on the accuracy drills. Long ball probably gave some AFCNorth defensive coordinators a collective gasp! - Looked really good in the scrambling drill . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B24 Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Palmer won the long ball competition. He did terrible in the no huddle comp. though.He ended up 6th overall in the challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalsfan33 Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Hasselback won it!! and Carson Palmer won the long distance throw!!This is good to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsfan2 Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Palmer didn't do to well on the first day. He's in 7th place I think.What I DID notice is when Carson had to hit the reciever on the deep route, he hit him in perfect stride, even though the throw was slightly too long to be ruled inbounds! That's something Kitna would be totally incapable of. Even when he was heaving it 65 yards, it just didn't look like he was throwing that hard. Kinda like Griffeys homers. It never looks like he swung that hard. Lots of natural ability combined with good coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
