Carson Palmer demands trade, threatens to retire...

I've been a Palmer fan for a while, even though post injury he's been pretty inconsistent I think he's still got the chance to be decent for a couple of years. That being said, I don't see a good scenario to bring him in. He's not mobile enough for our system and there's no picks I would be willing to part with to bring him in.

With Palmer I think the loss of throwing power was his elbow. He considered having Tommy John surgery (of MLB pitching fame) but then decided to just rehab it. Not sure where he is in that process but with a gimpy elbow and a reconstructed knee I don't think he is worth bringing in. As has been stated millions of times this team needs to get younger. So unless the Bengals are willing to do a McNabb for Palmer swap I rather we not bring him in. Even then it would be a debatable move.

If this were the NBA-we could send Donovan to Cincy (once/if they hire Brad Childress as their OC), Bengals send Palmer to Arizona. We get Fitzgerald from Arizona

If he gets that elbow right he could still have plenty of good years ahead. I think he's far from washed up at 31. That said I definitely don't want him here. We already tried the vet route, time to get a young QB in here that Shanahan can shape and develop to his liking.

I think we would take that trade in less than a second if it was somehow possible.

McNabb and Palmer are on the same boat I think. Both QBs are in situations where they can help a team that has everything in place (a la Vikings when Favre got there), but are not the answer to a team like ours. I wonder if Palmer's availability will affect us trading McNabb.

Right on!

Your going to be wrong on Tebow, guy is a STAR in the making..

Cam is raw no doubt but he has all the tools to be like a "BIG BEN" type qb.

And thats a bush league excuse.. Spread is a spread.

Sam Bradford ran a SPREAD, also won a heisman and I think he turned out pretty good right?

So you think Bradford and Tebow ran similar offenses?

What a horrible analogy.

Well maybe I wasn't trying to make a good analogy.

Maybe there was a hidden reference.

Maybe my post doesn't make any sense. For a reason.

Or maybe I had one too many beers yesterday.

Give up that kind of dough yea right.

Money talks and BS walks! Make your next move son!
