Palmer is the player most responsible for Cincy’s bad record — he has to be, since he’s the QB. Spoken like someone who hasn't watched the Cincinnati Bengals since Mike Brown became the owner. No matter how bad ANY QB plays for the Bengals, they will never be more responsible than Clown Brown, the ringleader of this band of misfits. Yesterday, Bob Bratkowski celebrated his TENTH ANNIVERSARY of his hiring as OC. TEN YEARS!!! You know what happens to all other coordinators WELL BEFORE ten years? They either do such a good job, they get a head coaching job (Brat hasn't ever gotten an interview) or they get fired. If you're Brat, you keep your job despite no real record of achievement. Haven't players learned that stating their unhappiness in public doesnt work? This is a different situation. There's already been several players who have voiced their dissatisfaction. Carson's just adding to the pile. But that is one area where I *will* criticize Carson: he should have took the initiative (QBs tend to be looked at as the leader) and brought this all up three years ago. Instead, only after Chad, T.O., Benson cite their discontent does he finally speak up. But hey: better late than never! I will never take the side of Mike Brown whenever a player wants to abandon his always sinking ship.

Just pouting. Palmer’s not gonna leave 50 mil on the table. He’ll change his mind by July.

We’ll see you in SF next year so you can try out for the QB job. No way he goes to Minnesota or Buffalo if he hates it in Cincinnatti. just as cold if not worse

You sure about that? Palmer’s best season was the year AFTER getting injured against Pittsburgh.

I don’t know why, but I think Palmer is going to get it together again at some point. Maybe Pete Carroll could get him going in Seattle? The only other real fits I could envision would be Jacksonville, Miami, or maybe Oakland if the new coach can bring some energy and positivity.

Some guys just sink into the environment they’re put in. Palmer just needs some ascending players around him, not journeyman and guys looking for their next reality TV show.

Palmer is the player most responsible for Cincy’s bad record — he has to be, since he’s the QB. So saying he wants out is like the bank security guard leaving because the bank isn’t safe enough for him. He’s always been a choker, now he’s revealed to be a chicken, too.

Palmer took all the cash and praise based on the Bengals pampering him with a top OL, 3 top WRs and 1,500-yards-a-year run support. Now that he’s not getting spoiled — wahhhh! Get me out of here!

And if I don’t get my way — I quit! The equivalent of the baby holding his breath.

A real man stays and fixes problems, not runs away like a moody little schoolgirl. So why would any other team want this guy to lead their team? Let alone pay big bucks.

Maybe the Bengals can trade him to the Redskins for Donovan McNabb.

TOcho and McNabb there is a (re)union I would love to watch fail.

Just a word of caution for the Bengals. All of my girlfriends said that, but things never got better for me.

Maybe you could update the post to include the fact that Carson has been lobbying/asking for/demanding the same changes Marvin is….and that Mike Brown basically said no, THEN Carson asked to be traded….update….please…
here, I’ll throw you a bone: Brad Johansen is the one reporting it…
Carson is quickly turning from Coward to Hero- hold the faith Cincy

No way anyone is going to trade for Palmer because he is journeyman grade QB with a franchise QB contract. He could be an excellent stopgap starter or quality backup for another team but would need to take a pay cut.

Mike Brown might be football stupid, but he’s a miser. He won’t pass up the opportunity to save $50 million.

Palmer has been bad for the last few years but if he has any chance of turning himself around, he needs to abandon Mr. Brown’s sinking ship.

See Jay Cutler. A team can not force the starting Quarterback to stay. If he doesn’t come to the voulntary workouts and training camp and just shows up for the 1st game, what are they going to do?

Blaine Gabbert, Ryan Mallet, and Cam Newton just threw up in their collective mouths because they thought they were safe from the Bengals.

One of the toughest things for teams to do is to know when a guy is done. I’d rather move a guy a year early than a year late. It may already be past that point now for Palmer, but in a league with a scarcity of quality QB’s, Palmer could still probably fetch a conditional 2nd or 3rd round pick. It is time for the Bengals to move on – they are not a QB away from contention, not in a division with Baltimore and Pittsburgh, and a conference that also includes New England and Indianapolis. I would think Vince Young would be a good fit for Cincy and he shouldn’t cost them much.

As a Viking fan I’d gladly trade our 3rd round draft pick for him and……….oh wait that one went to New England…….never mind.

As a Bengal fan Carson’s request is a wonderful thing.
Unlike Ocho Asso; Carson is a class act, not one to blow smoke.
Carson walking would be the best bitch slap Mikey Brown has received since the doc in the birth room smacked his butt to make him cry. And Mikey has been making Cincinnati residents cry for over 20 years.

“It actually may be in the interest of BOTH for him to go now and the Bengals to get a #1 pick or two for him.”

There is no way that the Bengals would get a #1 for Palmer.

——-

You’re 100% right. They’d be lucky to get a 3rd rounder. Al Davis doesn’t want him, so a first round pick is not an option for Bengals fans.
