In Sports Psych, players falter in key moments often due to a lack of concentration. Behavior can be learned and changed.
Me, I watched many of his throws. He was off all day. I really think it was due to his finger injury.

I agree. The finger injury pretty much finished Palmer this season (again, an injury ruins Carson... Has an NFL QB ever had worse luck??). He won plenty of primetime games this season (in fact, I think he won all of them), and not only won but put of tremendous numbers. His MVP-like season only faltered after his hand injury.
