Carson Palmer is just fine

The offense looked sharper in the victory over the Bucs on Sunday. Palmer threw for 308 yards and three touchdowns on Sunday.

Palmer is yet to turn the ball over, although he’s narrowly missed three interceptions over the first couple of weeks. However, he still has a zero in the interception column and that’s all anyone should care about.

After two games, Palmer has thrown five touchdowns and zero interceptions. How he got there or what could have happened doesn’t matter one bit. Yes, people will continue to harp on it but until mistakes hurt the Cardinals on the scoreboard, he’s alright in my book.

He continues to find a number of targets. He targeted nine players for passes on Sunday. He knows how to spread the ball around. He can still throw the deep ball, evidenced by his 51-yard touchdown pass to receiver Jaron Brown.
