warner had a much stronger arm at the end then palmer, guy really forces throws he shouldnt make with his weak arm. palmers weak arm and lack of mobility is going to get him rattled in az
I respect your opinion and I agree that Palmer tries to force passes, but his mobility/arm >>>Old Kurt Warner
I watched just about every game Kurt played with the Cardinals and I can't remember him throwing the ball more than 40 yards in the air.
His longest toss was off that flea flicker play against the Eagles in the NFC Championship game.He put everything he had into that throw and he still under threw Fitz.Fitz caught it, but he had to slow down and wait for it to get there.
Kurt shyts on Palmer with his ability to read the defense pre snap, timing, and accuracy.He was the master at hitting his hot read.It got to the point where teams were scared to blitz Warner
Palmers actually not to bad in those categories, he's one of the least sacked QB's in the league.He ranked 7th in the league in QB sack rates last year.Only giving up a sack on 4.3% of his drop backs...Only 26 sacks in 591 drop-backs.And the Raiders line wasn't all that great.Veteran QB's know how to get rid of the ball.
Last year, the Cardinals were starting undrafted rookie O lineman and young inexperienced QB's.The worst combination possible.This year, they get their starting LT back from injury, they upgraded the Guard position by drafting Johnathan Cooper #7 overall, and they signed a above average RT in Eric Winston.
Combined with Palmers ability to avoid sacks(Avoiding sacks is more mental than it is physical IMO.Kurt Warner could barley move, but he was great at avoiding sacks)The Cardinals O line gave up 58 sacks last year.I'm willing to bet they won't give up more than 35 this year.
