I do respect Carson Palmer for being a good quarterback for so long, despite numerous serious injuries.

Guessing that the Cardinals end up with someone like Allen, Mayfield or Rudolph as their new quarterback of the future, if they don't go after, say, a Kirk Cousins or a Tyrod Taylor.

Best of luck to the guy moving forward.

Probably the best QB to come out of USC.

Will all depend on who they bring in for HC. Kinda crazy 3 head coaching changes in 2 years in our division, and if Pete has a bad year next year could be a complete turnover of HC's in 3 years.

Bet you a hundred ROD dollars that Pete the Cheat leaves the Hags by this time next year. That's been his MO all his coaching career: leave a team when they're struggling. And if Avril and/or Chancellor retire, Sherman/Thomas/Bennett are cut, and if Graham/the Richardsons leave in free agency, they could really, really struggle.

Best of luck to Carson! Hope he enjoys retirement though I wouldn't be shocked to see him doing college football before too long as a studio or booth announcer.

Carson is a good guy, and will be a big loss to the Cards. My guess is they both draft a QB of the future, AND sign an interim vet - Bradford back in the NFC West?

I hope that all happens. That 12th man bandwagon needs to end.

Yeah, it's gotten obnoxious.

Hmmm.... How about the Cardinals raid the 49er roster and put a poison pill in by overbidding for Jimmy G as their next QB so the Niners cap hit will be huge if they do match it?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I remember when the Seahawks won the Super Bowl a woman I'd been friends with since the '70s and her husband jumped on the band wagon. Keep in mind that in 35+ years of knowing her, she'd never shown any interest in pro sports (except for liking the shorts NBA players used to wear). When we'd seen There's Something About Mary together, I'd had to explain the Brett Favre joke to them.

I figure they are typical Seahawks fans. No idea of who Dave Krieg was, for instance.

They probably didnt know who Hasselback or S. Alexander were either and that wasn't too long ago. Bet they don't even know who were the head coaches before Pete the cheat.

Stump the 12th man:

What young Santa with a porn 'stache led the Seahawks to the playoffs before Pete Carroll?

Palmer is a good guy and has been a really excellent QB.

He made Arians look smart for sure.

TurdArians liked to make fun of the Rams 7-9 bullshit, but he was worse than that without Palmer as his QB. He's a jerk for disrespecting a peer in a press conference in my opinion.

Good luck to Palmer.
