Carson did a complete 180 this year.

Not in his physical ability, but on the mental side of the game.

There was times over the last 5 years where he'd go completely brain dead & throw some ugly picks, but his IQ is looking splendid right now.

Bruce Arians was the best thing to ever happen to him.You can tell he's comfortable as hell in that offense.

The only nitpick I have is he seems to tighten up in the last 2 minutes of the game.Especially when the game is on the line.

He air mailed a few passes in that final drive against the Rams last week.If he can fix that, I'd put him in the top 3 with Brady & Rodgers....JUDGING BY THIS SEASON.

He's maybe 3a/3b right there with Big Ben....Andy Dalton could probably be 3c
Palmers struggles in the beginning of his Cardinals career had more to do with still learning the system than a "low" i.q

Carson was elite last year in the few games he played and even better this Year.

He has always been the same player. Often injured and misunderstood. The Bengal situation really hurt his reputation.

But Carson has always had elite skill set

Definitely has an elite skill set.

His next step is handling those high pressure situations.Like capitalizing on key drives in the final 2 mins.

That's the only chink in his armor right now.

like I said, he flamed out on that final drive against the Rams last week.It wasn't because of the Rams D.He had guys open, but his throws lacked composure.Had Jaron Brown open on a 15 yard out, but threw the ball over his head.Did the same thing on the slant pass to David Johnson on 4th down.Threw the ball over his head.

After displaying pinpoint accuracy the prior 58 minutes.

He got tight, but I'm not even mad at him:manny:
