Rex Ryan on stopping Carson Palmer: "We're hoping for an off day. That's pretty much it."

"Q: Does this team need Tyrod Taylor to start playing like the franchise quarterback you believe he can be? Quarterbacks around this league have been winning games. (Sam) Bradford was at Minnesota for two weeks and he probably played the best game of his career last night. Do you need Tyrod to really start showing that he is your guy because he really hasn’t won a game for you like a lot of quarterbacks have won games for their teams."

A:Well I would disagree with that. I think last year he won some games for us, really on his own back, he carried our team. But we all need to pull our weight. It’s not just on Tyrod, it’s on all of us, and we clearly have to step up this week. We have to be at our very, very best and we’ll see if that’s good enough. This kid---and I say kid---Carson Palmer’s been around a long time but man, when he’s playing like this, we just hope he has an off day against us."

Here's the full quote, which doesn't look quite as bad in context.
