Jenneral Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Don't blame him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 He was one of the scapegoats for the Bengals struggles this year, something which I personally don't understand because he had an above average season for a QB. Dolphins, Redskins, Vikings, Panthers, Cardinals, and Niners could all use his services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great iBoldin Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 He was one of the scapegoats for the Bengals struggles this year, something which I personally don't understand because he had an above average season for a QB. Dolphins, Redskins, Vikings, Panthers, Cardinals, and Niners could all use his services. He was a scapegoat because he absolutely sucks. My arm strength is probably on par with Palmer.

The Regime Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) He was a scapegoat because he absolutely sucks. My arm strength is probably on par with Palmer. The arm strength wasn't there, no doubt. But I still think he can successfully fill the void for all the aforementioned teams. He has good football IQ and above average accuracy.

Flash Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I don't think they'll miss him once they draft Blaine Gabbert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdog17k Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I always stuck up for Palmer, since he's been my starting quarterback since 04. But recently he hasn't been that good. Maybe he just needs a change of scenery, and at this point I wouldn't care if we ended up getting something for him. I personally want to see him reunite with Pete Carroll in Seattle. You can ask Danny, I was telling him how that could be interesting back when the Bengals were pretty much eliminated from anything this year. And now to hear they are a potential suitor it's just interesting. If he goes I seriously wish him the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted January 25, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Palmer isn't right for Cincinnati if they want to go with receivers like TO and Chad. Both want to make the big plays, and Palmer's arm isn't going to allow that. The longer the throw, the less accurate he becomes...and while that's the general statement for most QB's in the history of the game, Palmer's accuracy literally plummets when he throws over 20 yards, it seems. I just don't see him doing much on any team, on an individual level. Maybe if he QB'ed a team that was run-heavy, and had a solid defense, he would find his way into the playoffs...but any team that would depend on him like, say, the Colts depend on Manning...I just don't see it happening.
