Is Carson Palmer overrated?

I'm starting to think so. He is always injured and doesn't play well in big games. Is he overrated?

I don't think so. Injuries have been a problem because of poor pass protection, and its not like he is surrounded by weapons. And Carson Palmer has played in very few "big games" because his team is almost never in them.

I don't think he will live up to his potential however: I think he should get out of Cincy ASAP.

I don't think he's overrated, but then again I never thought he was a really good QB.
He's used to be a top 5 QB a few years back, but his body seems to be ageing fast + he plays for the Bengals....

Why single out Carson Palmer like this? More than a few high rated QBs fell flat on their face this year. May I suggest Eli Manning of the overpaid Giants? Or maybe even the flat on his back Culter of the Chicago who-Cares. Palmer had a lot of things going against him this year preventing him from putting up the numbers he has the last six years. The biggest problem is the OC known simply as Brat. Horrible, horrible predictable play calling this year while being not protected by a rookie OLine coupled with a run first offense really got him off track. If a few key changes are made in the off season all of you doubters and nay-sayers will be eating your overrated words I promise you that.

Oh, and it's really amusing to me how the Bengals go to the playoffs for the first time since 05 and all of a sudden he's overrated. You all must have no short term memory and non-existent attention spans since CP drove his team to 4 comeback wins while trailing in the 4th quarter (Pittsburgh TWICE before they imploded and Baltimore who just crushed the Patriots just to name a few). If every QB who slips up a few games is overrated then the NFL needs to clear house across the board.

Simply put, there's never been nor ever will be love and respect for Cincy.

the word overrated is overrated. carson palmer is underestimated. i don't think he's happy on the bengalsN0mad987

I don't know, that thumb injury derailed things for him

I'd welcome him in Washington. :D

1 deep threat and the rest of your recieving core being garbage, coupled with a team that should be running the ball makes any QB look really bad. He is terrible yes, but not nearly as terrible as most people think. Id say he was a below average QB, with some Almost good moments thrown in about 1-2 times per season.

Who's Carson Palmer?DCGixxer22

Yep. He set career bests in total yards thrown, completions, completion %, touchdowns and QB rating. How exactly did he "fall flat on his face" again? :lol:

Because Eli plays every position on the field, right? He wasn't the problem this year, and anyone who puts the blame solely on him needs to get their head checked. :|

No..i think he's underrated....i just think he doesnt show up for big games

I think he is overrated in the way that people sometimes put him in the same class as Brady and Manning.

[QUOTE="InterpolWilco"][QUOTE="monkeytoes61"] How are the Giants doing in the playoffs? Oh, wait...monkeytoes61

Your aware that the defense was the problem with the Giants right? Eli not only did his job, but did a damn good job of it, all with an extremely young receiving corps. InterpolWilco

I think people give Eli too much credit because his last name is Manning. If he wins another superbowl then maybe I wont consider him to be incredibly overrated.

Sometimes certain players never come back from a serious knee injury and play the way they did before being injured. So far it seems like Palmer hasn't been the same player since he got hurt. He was beyond inaccurate passing the ball vs the Jets in the playoffs... and looks pretty average now as a QB.ohjtbehaaave

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"][QUOTE="monkeytoes61"] In their final two games, the ones they desperatly needed to win, they scored 15 combined points.
