The Facts:
The Cardinals don't sound like a team courting quarterbacks in the upcoming draft. HC Bruce Arians said on Friday that he's fully sold on Palmer, calling him a Super Bowl-level passer who's far from finished as an NFL starter. "There's no doubt," Arians said. "He's got plenty of juice left in the tank and he's in great condition and he's always been in great condition, so I would think he can play up to 36, 37."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Arians knows what he's talking about when it comes to QBs after devolping Ben Roethlisberger with the Steelers and Andrew Luck with the Colts. But Arians isn't looking to develop another just yet. "If I thought there was a guy that was in (Roethlisberger or Luck's) caliber, yes, but I don't think quarterbacks learn anything holding clipboards," Arians said. And the Cardinals are clearly sold on Palmer. "There's no doubt in my mind," Arians said. "The way he played at the end of the season, he's still got enough and having played against him all those years in Cincinnati, he's still got plenty. He can make all the throws. ..." And he has a pretty solid receiving corps in Arizona.
