The Facts:
Larry Fitzgerald wants to put his "
most frustrating season" behind him. One reason he sounds optimistic that might happen is because of Palmer. HC Bruce Arians, who brings his vertical passing game with him to the desert, talked up Palmer's ability to chuck it down the field. "I think the biggest thing is just his experience level," Arians told ESPN's Merril Hoge on Sunday. "He's tough as nails. As good a deep-ball thrower as I've ever seen. I mean really accurate on the deep ball. He still has it."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com's Kevin Patra suggested, there might not be a better offensive scheme for Palmer's skill set. Palmer always has been able to sling it deep, and Arians' offense is predicated on stretching the defense vertically, which opens up other areas of the field. But Patra correctly notes there are still reasons for concern. Will Palmer's dubious decision-making dissipate? Will the restacked offensive line be able to protect him? Does Palmer possess the ability to extend the play so those deep patterns can materialize -- something Ben Roethlisberger and Andrew Luck excelled at in Arians' offense? Yes. A lot of things have to fall into place. But it could happen.
