Cincy looked great. Some coaches show more in preseason, I guess. Cincy is for real--if they can keep their players out of jail...

I made the mistake when the Bengals drafted Palmer of just lumping him with David Klingler and Akili Smith and figuring he'd be doomed to the same fate. Guess the difference is Palmer actually has talent

Which is amazing because when he was here at USC, his career was somewhat mediocre. He had a good senior season, but before that his numbers were unimpressive:
*Overall in 2001 while starting all 12 games, he completed 221-of-377 passes (58.6%) for 2,717 yards with 13 TDs and 12 interceptions.
*Overall in 2000 he completed 228-of-415 passes (54.9%) for 2,914 yards and 16 TDs with 18 interceptions.
In 1999 he broke his collarbone in week 3 and sat out the season.
So not bad, per se, most folks around here thought he could go the route of Rob Johnson but he has definitely become a superior QB.

Kinda changing the subject, but did you guys watch Chad Johnson do the intros for his offense last night? He called his fellow WR T.J. "Whoseyamama". I was cracking up! Especially after watching that fantasy football commercial where that guy just butchers T.J.'s name. Chad is a funny guy. I hope he has a big year. His TD celebrations are truly entertaining. It is a shame that the NFL wants to crack down on all of that stuff.

what was the talent around him like? I diddn't follow the draft that far back, so i don't really know, but he seems competitive as hell. I mean, he took rudi and CJ to indy games just to watch peyton warm up. He wants it bad.

it really shows you how getting lucky on a QB sure can change your fortunes in a hurry. he was drafted into a system with a good coach though that knew how to get the rest of the team in order. Now if he can just keep them out of jail....

Carson Palmer throws 60 yard bombs when he's getting his ACL wrecked. Wish we had a quarterback starting in DC that could throw a 60 yard bomb fully healthy.

And the Packers were also starting Al Harris and Charles Woodson. Which isn't a bad duo of corners. Sure Charles isnt what they thought he would be. But he's solid!

My classmates sat through his entire his college career- and we groaned throughout most of it. He had a tendency to throw the ball accurately- to the other team.

His senior year, one man changed everything: Norm Chow. The guy just knows how to turn out quarterbacks.
