X2...i doubt we'll make a play for palmer.

I could not agree more on all accounts. Time to end the love affair with players who are on the downside of their careers.
It has not worked for us yet so why keep beating a dead horse?

Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, Kyle Orton all made it; Colt McCoy and Tebow had strong rookie years; a lot of people are high on Bradford.

Spread QBs can make it, Newton's bigger issue is the system he played in wasn't a particularly standard spread system. It was closer to Urban Meyer's system than Bob Stoops' pro spread.

Bress, Bradford and Ben R. played in 4 and 5 wr sets were the emphasis was throwing the ball downfield, not the type of spread that Florida, Aurburn and Texas run....where the QB is running just as much as he's passing. McCoy didn't play in a true forward pass type of offense. The jury is still out of Tebow and McCoy. Both guys have only played in a handful of games.

I remember watching Heath Shuler in college and he played in the same kind of offense that McCoy did and that's who McCoy reminds me of.

Palmer may be the best QB in the FA market. That being said, keep our draft picks. Take Von Miller, a center, and Dalton/Ponder in the 3rd/4th. Build through the draft. We should have learned from Cerrato and moved on to do things the right way from now on.

what happened to this guy? i thought he was well on his way to a hall of fame type career. he got hurt and he's never been the same. his accuracy is off, he throws too many picks...maybe he just needs out of cinn. i think he can still play but he's shown that he's not good enough to carry a team. not sure about his contract status but the price will be too high and i doubt cinn is going to trade him. but it seems the losing has really gotten to him.

Id think CP for DM would be fair- both QB's are ailing to the their coaching. Marvin Lewis hasn't been able to balance his locker room and win so DM would bring new life to theirs just as CP would bring intelligence to ours. Lets sign the trade now.

Apparently Palmer is trying to force a decision on the Bengals' OC. What that decision is, I don't know

I feel bad for the state of Ohio. It was bad enough that Lebron went through with "The Decision." Now 6 months later Carson Palmer is going through with his own diva act with this trade or retire fiasco.

Still I heard that people are so pissed that they're doing drive by trash dumps on Palmers lawn.

At least they aren't in full on riot mode burning Palmer jerseys in the streets like they did when Bron Bron left.

Ohio will be fine without Palmer... Head west young man. The Bengals will just play his kid brother. OSU basketball isn't bad either.

Guy deserves to get lit up. The 3rd stringer showed more talent and heart than Cutler did on Championship Sunday.

Is that a pile of crap on Cutler's jersey?
