And that's not a bad thing. Carson Palmer was tough as shit. Look at his injury history and his play throughout his 14 years in the league.
No one, and I mean NO ONE, has the injury history that Carson Palmer had and throws for 4,800 yards at 35 TD's at the age of 36 without being a tough player.
He had an ACL/MCL tear with other damage around his kneecap. He had a ligament tear in his elbow. He had a broken nose. He had a fractured thumb. He had nerve damage in his shoulder. And he had, God knows how many concussions playing in an era that farting near a QB didn't result in a roughing the passer penalty. He also played against the 2000's Ravens and Steelers well over 30 times.
What exactly have we seen in Joe Burrow that somehow makes him tougher, or not as "laid back"?
Mentally Carson would let his mistakes get into his head. He would miss throws after getting hit and throw pick 6's.
Burrow doesn't do this. He is fearless in the pocket and steps into his throws even if he is going to get hit.
Nothing against Carson or any other QB cause this is extremely rare. Brady is about the only QB I see that is more fearless.
Agree, Carson was a tough mutha.
