We at BTI stand in a very precarious position. After last night’s blowout Cardinals/Panthers game, where prophecy/prediction became harsh reality for Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer (#4 BEAL), and headlines across the nation are now reading, “Carson Palmer fails on biggest stage of career,” and “Memorable Season Ends With a Forgettable Night,” we have mixed feelings about it all. Certainly, we want to spread the news far and wide of Jon Niednagel’s eerily accurate foretelling over a decade ago of Carson’s potential future, just as we wanted to do so back when Peyton Manning (#5 FEIR) became a star and Ryan Leaf (#7 FEIL) became everything but. At the same time, our heart goes out to Mr. Palmer, who said in his own words after last night’s humiliating loss, “This is as low as you can feel.
Folks, no Brain Type feels worse for failing others than the #4 BEAL. They are the consummate team players, and Carson has been no exception over the last 13 years of his career, whatever team he’s played on. I kept digging us a hole we couldn’t get out of it, he went on to say. “We put so much in, the coaches put so much in, the fans put so much in, and I let them down.” Carson again used the phrase “I let them down” when he went on to say about the fans, “Our fans take this personally, and they should, and I hate that I let them down.” As a rare and genuine Back-brained introvert, Palmer will assuredly ruminate on this calamity for many moons to come.
