Last season, the Cardinals had one quarterback, Carson Palmer, start all 16 games. This year, Palmer is again the guy and Drew Stanton is the backup.

Saturday, Palmer completed all five pass attempts. Stanton was 11 for 17, and rookie Logan Thomas was 11 for 12. Palmer has said how much he enjoys this locker room because it lacks drama. That's especially true of the quarterback position.

Think back to recent Cardinals locker rooms. Uncertainty at the position found players quietly picking sides. And a coaching staff's inability to help a quarterback's development left some players second-guessing leadership.

Remember the preseason of 2010, when then coach Ken Whisenhunt released Matt Leinart eight days before the first game? That left Derek Anderson, John Skelton and Max Hall to combine for a 5-11 record.

How about 2012? Whisenhunt opened up the competition, and Skelton won the job over Kevin Kolb. Skelton got hurt and Kolb took over. Kolb played well but was injured, and Skelton was back leading the charge.

Fantasy Impact:

The Cards have some stability at QB, but if Palmer would miss time, the talent around him, like WRs Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd, would take at least a bit of a hit in fantasy value. For now with Palmer, these are pretty good WRs to target in your second tier after the studs are drafted.

Supplementing rookie John Brown's success at wide receiver, Jaron Brown made sure the Cardinals didn't feel the temporary loss of injured receivers Michael Floyd and Ted Ginn, Jr. on Saturday.

The second-year pro caught quarterback Drew Stanton's 5-yard pass in traffic for the Cardinals' second touchdown of the game, and tallied 15 yards in two receptions.

Brown saw action in 16 games last season and recorded 140 yards in 11 receptions. Coming out of his rookie season, the receiver said his game improved considerably.

"It's a lot better," he said. "I feel like we're finally starting to get some kind of rhythm going with the quarterbacks. That's one thing we work on in training camp."

Not having to worry about replacing Floyd and Ginn long-term, Brown's performance Saturday made it that much harder for Arians to trim his receiving pool.

As Calais Campbell walked past wide receiver John Brown and a surrounding interview contingent on Monday, the veteran defensive end vocalized an idea becoming more believable by the day. “Future star right there,” Campbell said.

Brown was an unknown before the Cardinals drafted him in the third round in May, but has thus far wowed the organization with his progress. The Pittsburg State product picked up significant buzz with his offseason production and played well on the first two days of training camp.

Monday was the first day of full pads, and coach Bruce Arians was interested to know how he would handle the change.“Can he play that fast? Can he get off the jam?” Arians said. “It’ll be more physical.”

Brown did his part to give answers, highlighting the practice with an 82-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Drew Stanton in 11-on-11 action. The defensive players refrained from laying big hits during the session, so it wasn’t quite the real thing, but it was yet another standout showing in a long string of them.

Fantasy Impact:

Brown would be getting more hype if not for the presence of Ted Ginn, whom the Cardinals signed to stretch the defense. Brown is a name to remember in the final rounds.
