Carson Palmer demands trade, threatens to retire...

So Gtripp are you saying Palmer is better than mcnabb in their respective careers? No way IMO..

SS I think Cincy was waiting for this to happen I mean Palmer has done a solid job but the guy has never really won anything.. Of course no one really has with the bengals but was Palmer worth the Number 1 pick?

Well, McNabb has played longer than Palmer, so it's not really a great comparison. Palmer's peak was higher, but unless Palmer remains productive through roughly 2014, McNabb has the better career.

Yes, Palmer has been worth the number one pick. If Cinci thinks he's not worth the contract, they can release him now, but I don't think they're all that close to winning with or without Palmer.
