So let me get this straight. Carson Palmer will make 16.2 mill this season? More than Brady, Manning, & McNabb? Can someone explain to me why? What has this guy ever done to warrant that salary let alone be considered a top 5 QB? How many playoff games has he won? What is his overall record as a starting QB in this league? Did he not lead the league in INTs in 07 and is coming off a season where he only played 3 games in 08? I cant think of any other QB in the last 10-15 years who's been paid so much and been praised so much for doing so little. Palmer is the most overpaid QB in the league clearly, and is also one of the most overrated. Dude is Drew Bledsoe Lite, a QB who needs perfect protection to make an impact and is about as good a leader as Drew was. This guy should be the posterchild of the overhyped overrated QB who cant get his team over the hump. But he isnt. This should be a do or die year for Carson coming off an injury and 3 straight years with no playoff appearances. But it isnt. Can someone please explain maybe why? :confused:

I'll see your Carson Palmer and raise you one Matthew Stafford and his $72 million/ $41.7 mil guaranteed before ever taking one snap in the NFL.

He gets paid because he plays in Cincinnatti. He is a better than average QB when healthy and given adequate protection, and nobody's beating down the FO's doors to play there, so they have to pay him to stay. There are plenty of teams that would love to have him and management knows it. If they lose him, who are they gonna get? Vick? Please.

      With the state of the OL the talent level of the opposing team and the venue it would be a small miracle if we don't turn the ball over let alone sustain drives. We squandered 8 drives against the winless Jets.

      I don’t have the energy right now. Not finished licking my wounds and complaining.  Preliminary thoughts … Loss. The awakening of rolling with RICO is a week late and they will shut our running game down (I watched some video and our receivers are sucking at their blocking assignments for the most part. Which most receivers do). It will be on Bryce to carry us through the air. Big test for him, good luck   I can’t do scores. We’ll lose the game not sure it will be that close.

      It will go one of two ways and depends who plays in the game. Canales gets his head out of his ass and starts Dowdle. Young manages to start. Cade Mays and Damien Lewis play. Running game gets going. Evero comes up with some scheme to slow down the Packers offense. The game is close but the Panthers lose an excruciating one at the end.  They haven’t put together a good game against a good opponent yet so I’m going to wager this will be an epic massacre. 50+ to 10 After what we saw against the Bills I have little hope for option A and fully expect option B.
