Hard to say. We can cite his injuries in 2006, 2008, and 2014 but he's on the field playing like a healthy player and players who are in their 20's are tearing their ACL's left and right in practice. It's hard to say, really. I wouldn't be surprised if he got injured and that was it, but I can't just look at Palmer running around in pre-season as if he is 100% and say "well, the team won 11 games when he only played in 5 but they'll be worse this year with or without him" with any confidence.
I'm no doctor, but if his 2014 ACL injury is going to be an issue shouldn't it be an issue NOW and not later in the season? I realize older QB's wear down as seasons go on, so maybe that's what people mean.
