not sure how that really factors in.
The idea that you have to have a wilson-esque backup to be effective is a myth and not nearly as important as having a quality backup that gives you a chance.
I don't see us running the option any more, and more than likely, running it less, than we did at the end of last year.
v1rotv2":2sxmm6wo said:I disagree. This offense is now built around having the threat of a mobile QB. Every defense in the league knows that Palmer is about as mobile as a lamp post. I just don't see that threat going away just because we lost the starting QB. My belief is JS/PC will find a mobile QB in the draft and with RW mentoring him he'll be up to speed fairly quick.
bestfightstory":3aj87ueo said:If Wilson ever goes down, we become Marshawn Lynch and the play-action pass. And I think we remain damn effective on offense. I'm down with Palmer. I'm down with Flynn. I'm down with Harvin (who was Minny's third string QB, at times).
Just keep RW healthy, please.

pehawk":3nre7q6u said:Apparently, he will sign for less to be a backup on a contender. That's what his agent is putting out there. So, I'm not too sure.
He'd be an upgrade over Matt Flynn. I could give a (beep) whether he's mobile (which he actually is...very underrated athlete)...dude slings it.

Without being too antagonistic here...how many Oakland games have you watched over the last two years? Somehow, (outside of the fanbases Palmer plays for) the legend of the old, even halfway decent Carson Palmer remains. While I won't argue that he's an underrated athlete, he's hardly mobile, especially after surgery - can't put the same zip on the ball and threw Oakland out of a ton of games last year. While I suppose we could do worse, if it were up to me, I wouldn't go near Palmer.
:lol:"I sure was ready to welcome him with open arms to Arizona to QB the Cardinals…
But then I saw that he wanted to come to a winning team
At least we could offer the opportunity to throw to Larry."
