Bengals now a superbowl candidate ??

If T.O. sucks so bad...is over the hill etc...how did the Bengals all of a sudden get boosted to the top of the AFC north?

There was a poll on nfl.com on who had a better shot of making the superbowl Bengals or Cowgirls.

Palmer stock is now also sky rocketing in fantasy football.

Its all water under the bridge now, but signing T.O. to a one year contract instantly makes a team a contender.

Superbowl candidates are trotted out by whom? The media.

What does the media love? A circus.

Cincinnati is just that. They have some decent offensive weapons, and Benson has come on strong as a decent RB, but the media will slobber all over TO and Ocho Cinco, get used to that.

I just don't think Palmer is the same QB he used to be. And just because they added TO doesn't necessarily mean they now have three good receivers. Adding him could be a bit of foreshadowing as to the situation with Antonio Bryant. He could still be having knee problems from last season? Attitude problems from last season? All that said, even with TO I don't think they're better than Baltimore. We will find out just how good they are in week 3 I guess.

I don't know about Palmer in fantasty football but it is his 2nd year without an injury (he was coming of one last year). They actually have a couple good tight ends this year and they have a lot of receivers. They have a dominant run game and were the 3rd ranked defense last year even after losing their best pash rusher to injury. Both their young talented CBs will have another year under their belt a long with a lot of their other defensive players. They went 6-0 in a tough division.

They just sputtered out at the end of the season when their offense got stagnant.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
