Maybe skipping major birthday indulgences and all of those "normal" Tuesdays — typically the day off for NFL players each week — are one reason Palmer continues to play at a high level in his 14th season.
Palmer completed 64 percent of his passes last season for 4,671 yards and 35 touchdowns, with a quarterback rating of 104.6. This season's numbers are down,cheap jerseys paypal, as Palmer has a 61.5 percent completion rate,China NFL Jerseys, 3,978 yards, 23 touchdown passes and an 87 rating.
"Sports science is such an unbelievable thing now, with diet and exercise and all the things that they can do. Peyton (Manning) played really well all the way up to the end, and (Tom) Brady is up there, too. There's no reason he can't."
"Physically, he works out like a maniac and he takes great care of himself. I'm looking at Drew Brees, and these guys are not getting old anymore," Arians said.
Arians remains faithful in his quarterback, in no small part because of the intangibles the three-time Pro Bowler provides. Arians noted that Palmer instills confidence in his teammates when things aren't going well, and likened him to a father figure for many young players.
Coach Bruce Arians said he had to persuade Palmer to accept the off days.

And while Palmer isn't saying that he's thinking about next season already, there will, by all indications,Dallas Thomas Dolphins Jersey, be a next season.
"It's going to be emotional, I'm sure," he added.
Sunday will be a special day for Palmer at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. It will be his first time playing on that field since his college days at USC.
"I never thought it would have happened way back when. I remember playing our last game there against Notre Dame in a huge game for both teams," Palmer said. "Playing in that game, it was senior night, you never think you're going to get this opportunity. You hear chatter of a team moving to LA, but you just don't think that it's an in-division opponent and you'll have an opportunity to run out of that tunnel one more time.
"He knows how to give a guy confidence and pick him up and not let him worry about failure," Arians said. "That's what leaders do."
Palmer has also thrown two more interceptions than last season, 13 to 11. But the Cardinals' offense has still been productive with Palmer at the helm.
"It's hard to carry over much from the year before, but it definitely sends you off into the offseason the right way," he said of the importance of winning the season's last two games, which the Cardinals can do Sunday.  "But no doubt, going in and finishing 2-0 the last two games on the road against good opponents,Cheap Jerseys China, it might carry over a little bit."
"It was a work day,Wholesale NBA Jerseys China, unfortunately," the Arizona Cardinals quarterback said Wednesday. "I went to lunch ... Other than that, a normal Tuesday."
