Carson Palmer Talks UGA

Trent Rosecrans, a former writer at the Athens Banner-Herald, now works in Cincinnati blogging about sports for Clear Channel. He recently caught up with Bengals QB and former Heisman winner Carson Palmer and the subject of Georgia's Matthew Stafford came up (Palmer saw Stafford at the Elite 11 camp). Here's what Palmer had to say about Georgia's QB:

"He's good. He's really good. Georgia might win it because of him. He's going to come out after this year and be the top pick in the draft. I said it first."

I'm not sure Palmer actually said it first, but he certainly knows what he's talking about. I've heard from dozens of people over the past few weeks about how good Stafford could be this year. While Knowshon has the early Heisman buzz surrounding him, Stafford could certainly end up stealing the show. And like Palmer, I agree that, if Georgia wins it all, it will depend in large part on how well Stafford plays.

In any case, thanks to Trent for the heads up on this, and if you're interested in reading the complete article, you can find it HERE .
