Carson Palmer retires

[treee]

I was born in the early 90's, and I didn't really get into watching football until I was around 10 or so. I remember my family talking about how much they respected Kitna and wondered what Palmer was going to bring to the franchise. I feel really lucky that I got watch Carson, Chad, TJ, Rudi, and Slim on the field at the same time as my introduction to a professional offense. It has actually been a disappointment to see the offenses we've fielded since that core is gone. I looked up to Palmer in a lot of ways growing up and was pretty hurt and jaded when he left. Of course now that I'm older I completely understand. I think he made his mark and he is lucky too, that he got to play QB when the passing era of the NFL really started to flourish. Hope he finds fulfillment now that his career is over.
