How good is jordan palmer...?

[ABQCOWBOY]

Actually, he's rather Bledsoe-esque in the pocket... keeping in mind that the NCAA counts sacks as running plays, Palmer has 102 carries in the last 2 years, for MINUS 67 yards... obviously, most of those "carries" were sacks... equally obviously, on those few times he did take off and run, he didn't gain much yardage...

All your other points struck me as pretty accurate...

Bear,

One of the things that has kinda made me wonder about this kid is his maturity. Just always seemed like he was on the verge of getting himself in trouble. Is this a miss conception or is it a real concern for the young man? Any other feed back on this player would also be appriciated. I am very interested in him as a possible QB prospect for us.

Many Thanks Bear.

It's not immaturity at the point where he's a malcontent or he's going to get himself into trouble. It's immaturity where he can be one to take something very lightly when it should be taken seriously. Such as practice, or eating right, or being diligent in staying in shape. He's still a college kid, i guess.

If Carson Palmer = Troy Aikman, then I'd say....

Jordan Palmer = Danny White. The talent is there, just needs a few years to grow into the position as a back up.

I would take Jordan, but Kevin Kolb of Houston is better IMO.

Yeah, he looks pretty good to me, too... mebbe that's why he's the C-USA preseason offensive player of the year...

Y'know, I've never read anything about him having maturity issues until these last coupla days, but in a few of the interviews I've seen, he has come off as slightly arrogant, which might be a maturity issue...

I'm pretty sure he's never been in any real trouble, though, and his coach, Mike Price seems to be fond of him...

I like Palmer but I agree with most. He is not Carson Palmer. Carson was good from day one at SC. His numbers don't reflect it but at that time, SC was not the program it is today. There offense was horrible. WRs were terrible and protection was none existant. Carson Palmer is as fine a QB as I have seen come out of college since Elway. I really like Carson Palmer.

Carson's Senior year is what made him, before then he was a maddeningly inconsistent QB
