Campbell's numbers dont lie

[GTripp0012]

Anyone who wants to criticize Campbell should use the Carson Palmer comparison, since Palmer has played with great offenses and crappy offenses since taking over as the Bengals starter in 2004. Palmer didn't always play well as the offense of that 2005 season began to fall apart, and frankly, after he missed 2008 with injury, people started to doubt his franchise quarterback-ness.

This year, he's back to being one of the ten most valuable quarterbacks in football.

The other part of the comparison is that if the Bengals were the Redskins, they might have cut or traded him after last season.

The logic is quickly slipping from your posts. When not playing well, Palmer still had 4,000 yard/25 td seasons. Those who buried him after last year are the same mindless pundits who predict that the same teams will reach the playoffs as made it the year before (i.e. those with a very shallow historical memory). I realize that you are not necessarily comparing Campbell to Palmer, but just watch the tape. Watch Palmer's footwork, release, and willingness to make stick throws (he made one to Ochocinco on Sunday that was particularly impressive ... he is a "wow" thrower). You are just grasping now, you're better than that. Campbell played well at times on Sunday, but continues to frustrate by leaving so many plays on the field (Moss and Yoder plays the most obvious on Sunday, but emblematic of Campbell's struggles). We now know who he is as a player. I would not be against bringing him back if he is restricted, but I think that is probably unlikely.

Thank you, JC is not on the same planet as Carson P.

Carson Palmer is a very good QB and no offense to JC, but JC is not in his league. You can't compare the two.

Anyone who knows anything about football knows this. Stats are just like politicians.....they never tell the truth.

Unless they do. Also like politicians.

Basically, you're saying, "if they disagree with what I think, then it's the evidence that's wrong, not me". Not surprising.
