An old talk show used to ask its guests, “Will the real (fill in the name) please stand up?” Five decades later, Eminem demanded the same of his alter ego, the Real Slim Shady.
It is time to ask the same of Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer.
Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams at University of Phoenix Stadium should provide some answers.
Is Palmer the quarterback who posted the best season of his 13-year career in 2015, who led the Cardinals to a 13-3 record and took them to the brink of a Super Bowl?
Or is he the one who has a 73.
