The Arizona Cardinals have the oldest quarterback/receiver combinations in the NFL in Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald. Despite that, they both had career seasons. Both set career highs and franchise records. Fitzgerald had 109 receptions, while Palmer threw for more than 4,600 passing yards and 35 touchdowns.

Not bad for a 36-year-old quarterback and a 32-year-old receiver.

They are aging well, especially Palmer, according to Fitz.

“I can’t speak for myself, but I can speak for Carson,” Fitzgerald said in an interview on NFL Total Access, when asked about being the oldest QB/WR combo. “He’s aging like fine wine. He’s getting better with time. I think, him coming off of that knee injury he had last year, he played his best football last year at 35 years old. Only better things are coming for his this year.

“He has a great grasp on what Coach Arians is asking him to do. Steve Keim and Coach Arians have put around him tremendous pieces that are at his disposal.”

Notice Fitz didn’t say anything about his own age. He doesn’t like to talk about it. And at age 32, it isn’t as if he is old. Physically, he is the same player. He does not appear to have lost a step.

Local reporter Paul Calvisi quotes Fitzgerald as saying his athletic numbers (40-yard dash and other drills) are unchanged from when he was younger.

Do Palmer and Fitzgerald have at least one more good run in them? That’s what the Cardinals are banking on in 2016. They have championship aspirations and they need big years from their aging stars.

Aging like fine wine? Maybe. If so, they might be celebrating with champagne in February.
