Carson Palmer demands trade, threatens to retire...

[MattsRiff]

Hmm, think Donovan or Albert would look good in tiger stripes?

Carson Palmer wants Cincinnati Bengals to trade him or he may retire, sources say - ESPN

Yeah, I've written this elsewhere, but I would definitely go after Carson Palmer, when Palmer comes available. There's a point at which the price may go too high, but I doubt there will be a better player on the market in the next two years at the QB position. Andrew Luck excluded.

Why would you go after Palmer? He has looked like crap the past two seasons. He is an interception machine. I would rather hang on to Donovan than bring Palmer in here. Sure the Bengals are a messed up organization, but so are the Skins, til they really prove that they are turning the ship around. Palmer had a lot of talent to work with and he just sucked this past season. Yeah, both Ocho and TO sucked at the end of the season, but TO put up really good numbers til like week 12. At least Donovan could get to the big dance, Palmer hasn't come close for awhile.

Maybe it's part him, part the team, but he hasn't looked very good in a few years.. couldn't justify that anymore than the McNabb trade

Exactly!! If you have watched him close, his arm strength seems to have waekened badly

No way in hell would I want Palmer. Old and washed up

You were for the McNabb trade, though?

You can't compare the 2, Mcnabb is a border line HOF that been to multiple playoff games and to a SB.

What's Palmer done? O yea nothing. And he's had plenty of talent around him

I don't want to give up the draft picks it will take to bring in Palmer, but he's far from old and washed up. He just turned 31 less than a month ago.

Basically agree, though I don't know what they would want

He's done dude heck he's already talking retirement. They won't take anything less than a 3rd for him and that's too high

Well, if they pay the McNabb price, I pretty much agree with you. He'd still be a better acquisition, just not a justifiable one

Palmer in 2010:

3970 passing yards, 6.8 Y/A, 26 TDs, sacked just 4.2% of the time. The 20 INTs are one of the reasons the Bengals lost 12 games. But like I said, escaping Cincinnati will be good for him.

[skinsfaninok]

Of course he had 26 TDs their loaded at WR.. Mcnabb has never had that kind of WR cast and he's always played pretty darn good. Change may help him but it probably won't. In all honesty he's basically been just slightly better than JC.. No thanks

Wait. Didn't have McNabb have Owens before he was aging and inconsistently productive? Maybe we need to explain how a team can pick up a player who no one else wants, add him to a declining cast, and suddenly be loaded at a position that they were weak at the prior season, then have his best two passing days when both big name receivers are inactive. You may have answers that I do not.

He didn't look old or washed up when the old, washed up receivers were hurt.
