Carson Palmer will throw for 300-yards

Cardinals fans are a bit worried about the preseason Palmer had. He threw some bad passes but let’s remember the Cardinals were not running their entire playbook.

People are worried about Palmer coming off the NFC Championship performance. Last season has nothing to do with this one. Palmer has put it behind him. Fans should as well.

All of Palmer’s weapons are back on offense. Every single player that scored a touchdown last season is on the roster this season.

The Patriots defense is missing defensive end Rob Ninkovich. Palmer should have time to throw the ball on Sunday evening. It won’t be as easy as some may think but he should get his shots down field.

His passing yardage is dependent on how the running game fares though. There is a better chance of Palmer reaching 300-yards if the Cardinals are having to play from behind, which is a possibility even given the players missing for the Patriots.
