No-no-no, when Ricky left, he was at the top of his game, he could run/block/catch and had speed/size.
Palmer has been paid a hefty during his tenure in the NFL. Maybe after all the years of Ocho's drama, Marvin Lewis' inability to get the team to the SB, and all the blunders/arrest/ non future dramas that club has been through he is choosing his health at a chance of using leverage. I dont knock him at all if he wants better for himself. In fact, if we switched QB's it would be a win-win.
