TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) The national perception seems to be that Carson Palmer’s skills have eroded with age, that he’s lost some zip off his fastball and therefore the Arizona Cardinals are doomed to another mediocre season.
Las Vegas oddsmakers peg the Cardinals for eight wins.
The 37-year-old Palmer said he doesn’t read such summertime predictions. He acknowledged that aging affects every football player, but quarterbacks less so than others.
”I think it’s easier to play the quarterback position later on in your career because of the repetition,” he said Wednesday after the second day of the Cardinals’ three-day minicamp.
