I know this has nothing to do with the Ducks or even hockey, but it’s ok. I can not wait for football to start and I got a taste of it on Monday, with local boy Carson Palmer making his first appearance since his knew was destroyed in the playoffs last year. He looked so damn good, I couldn’t believe how impressive he was. He moved well under pressure, he planted his feet and make perfect throws. He made a lob pass to Houshmandzadeh down the sideline, with pressure and he threw it 6-8 yards in front of where the reciever was, i literally told my dad to stop talking and watch this pass. This guy has so much talent that it is sick, he can be one the best.

And sadly, I despise USC. Though I did like him when he was there, because of all the crap he took for not being great all his years. Then when he was under a system for more than 2 weeks, he blossomed. He reminds of Dan Marino because of the arm strength, John Elway for the ability drive a team and Brett Favre because of his toughness. He also moves like the latter two, which never hurts, pocket awareness is key now with all the linemen being so athletic and agile. I don’t like Joe Montana and don’t really think he was that good, so I always leave him out. But that is a great group of quarterbacks and I think he takes from each of them.

What we saw last year and on Monday should just be the tip, he should compete with Peyton Manning as the best QB in the league in the comming seasons. The city loves him, his teammates seem to say nothing but nice things and he also works his ass off. I will cheer for Carson Palmer every game, unless they play the Bucs, then it is KILL HIM!

That is all, just a quick rant…
