Carson Palmer

Palmer is ready, eager to get off to a great start. With the way the 2015 season ended and the way the preseason unfolded, Palmer should come out with some good looking drives.

It may take a drive or two to get into the flow, however Palmer should be able to spread the ball around enough to keep the Patriots on their toes. Again, perfection is not what is being sought, although it would be nice.

What should happen though is Palmer coming out and completing about 17-20 passes for 250-275 yards. He will do enough to put the naysayers to sleep, at least for one week.

Palmer’s teammates and his fans are looking for him to show he is ready for the 2016 season and get down to the business of reaching the goal of winning the Super Bowl.
