Carson Palmer

[cyberelex]

Hey I just read that the Bengals were trying to trade for the Packers 32nd overall pick to pick up the QB Dalton. What do you guys think about trying to trade one of our picks for Carson Palmer. Does anybody think he has anything left in the tank? Is it worth trading say 2nd for Palmer or would you rather go after one of these unproven QB's

Can't trade players.

Re: Carson Palmer

I'd rather us pass on our pick than give it to the Bengals for Palmer.

Re: Carson Palmer

Hmmmm... how about we trade back, give them the 2nd we get out of that deal and plug holes with our two 3rds. Then we'd be in business....

Fitz outplayed Palmer head to head last year.

Palmer is overrated.

Even if we werent restricted from trading, I think giving up a 2nd for Palmer would be overpaying. He's been vocal about wanting out of Cincy so they have little leverage. A 3rd or 4th is far more reasonable IMHO

Re: Carson Palmer

we're sticking with Fitz. Nix won't even try to trade for Palmer. Fitz is the starter, and we will bring in a QB to groom while also bringing in a FA QB as a backup.

I'd be great if we could trick them into trading up with us 1 spot for an extra third lol.

Nix is wily enough to try and perpetrate that scam..get the Bills phones ringing as if other teams are looking to trade into our spot...

Not really. Did you watch that game? Bengals imploded. They gave up. They were up 31-7 at the half with Fitz throwing 2 INTs. In the 2nd half, Bengals had the guy that had those 2 INTs not play. They had 1 starting CB, both starting safeties, and the nickel injured. Only then did the Bills do anything. I have never seen guys more wide open, there were LBs covering WRs. Bengals almost put backup WRs to play defense that game. BTW, no one outplays anyone when there are two crap teams playing, but Fitz did not outplay Palmer.

This is not an endorsement for Palmer either.

Re: Carson Palmer

Palmer threatened the Bengals saying he had 80 million in the bank. What happens as soon as the Bills go south? Does he take his bankroll and go home? Pass.

This is all academic even if you look past the fact that player trades are not currently allowed, there's a reason Palmer wants out of Cincy. Cause they suck.

And now he's going to come to a team that has sucked as bad as the Bungles have for the last decade?

Makes no sense.

Even if all signs were green I wouldn't want him..I want a ,shiny, new, young, unbroken, untarnished QB that will lead us for 10 years. Not a guy that's 2 years from retirement.

Lets say you are correct about the Bengals defense in that game. Palmer still did not play well enough to beat a very bad Bills defense therefore Fitz outplayed Palmer.

Re: Carson Palmer

palmer also had a horrible season last year. stat-wise. and he had some studs to throw to. fitz had stevie johnson a guy who wasn't much of anything before for 3 years. and evans, a guy who isn't nearly as awesome as his reputation.

Re: Carson Palmer

Palmer's out. He's accumulated $80M by his own words, sold his house in Cincinnati after "fans" tossed garbage on his property.

I've watched his entire career, struggling under one of the most predictable offensive schemes I've ever witnessed. He had that cheap-shot knee injury, then his elbow problem (he refused surgery) then a hand problem.

He's shot - an opinion I've held for the past several years. He chronically throws high - Laverneus Coles, who breezed in and out took a swipe and said "Carson likes tall receivers." He was right.

If you explore the stats, the B'gals hover in the basement regarding plays over 20 yards.


He's an extremely nice fellow who was fated to ply his career with a franchise owned by a greedy family of idiots. No doubt Paul Brown has been spinning in his grave for years and years.

I wish him the best in his retirement.
