Will be hard to defend that debacle anyway if they choose to try.

I'll defend it by saying Carson was a 6th round pick turned into borderline MVP who has helped make the Cardinals relevant again and convinced Larry Fitzgerald to stick around and (likely) retire as a Cardinal.

With that being said, the guy stunk out loud tonight.  I'm sure Cardinals fans are already dying to trade 15 draft picks to the Browns so they can draft _______ to replace him.  Meh, their other options were to draft Geno Smith or something, so what can ya do?

They went 13-3 and made it to the NFC Championship game due to him being pretty good this year, so I'm not too terribly surprised they couldn't get past a 15-1 team to make it to the Super Bowl.  Honestly, everyone who KNEW Palmer was going to implode tonight also KNEW the Cardinals were never going to crack 8 wins with him, KNEW he'd never top an 85 passer rating, KNEW he'd never throw less than 20 INTs in a season, and KNEW he'd never win a playoff game.

So in summation, Carson isn't great, but he helped make the Cardinals a fairly relevant team.  And seeing as we all KNEW Super Bowl 50 was going to be the Seahawks and the Colts I would say some surprises are nice.  Plus, Bengals fans can act all smug that he lost! But hey, the Cardinals were 5-11 when he and BA showed up and they won 10, 11, and 13 games so I guess they resurrected the franchise like Marvin and Dalton and blah blah blah so on and so forth.
