Quarterback Carson Palmer announced his retirement from the NFL after 15 seasons, five with the Arizona Cardinals

There were a lot of good moments in the five-year run for quarterback Carson Palmer with the Arizona Cardinals.  Some stand out more than others.

Palmer had a rough start in 2013 but about halfway through the season really started to pickup Bruce Arians’ offense.  He had a couple of seasons cut short thanks to injuries.

Overall though, Palmer is what the Cardinals needed him to be when they desperately needed someone to step up at the position.  He wasn’t always on his game but he seemed to be more so than not.

The good moments here will be, or at least should be, ones that many fans will remember.  A couple of them might even be ones we spend years going back and replaying or at least reminiscing about.

Palmer had his moments with the team that drafted him, the Cincinnati Bengals.  Not so much during his time with the Oakland Raiders.  We are a little bias though to his moments in Arizona, at least the good ones.

If you have better moments than these five, please let us know.  Invariably something is always either forgotten or just missed.
