Carson Palmer really melted down in his first conference title game last season, and it was interesting to hear Troy Aikman foreshadowing his problems. Early in the broadcast, Aikman alluded to Palmer seeming a bit “off”(not his exact words), This was long before the game got out of hand, but it’s a good example of how someone who played the game, and excelled in those circumstances, can tell the difference. Like many fans, I assume Palmer would play well versus Carolina, even if the Cards lost.
