Carson Palmer is done

[Dpantherman]

I think he could get another shot with a different team in the future, but his best days appear to be over. I just watched him in the pocket with ALL DAY to the throw the ball, not one person in his face, and he lobs it right into triple coverage in the endzone. I mean hes shown flashes in the past, but to me, he was never great, he just hasn't been the same since the injury...

There was a time, a la 2005-2006, where Carson Palmer was an easy top 5 QB in the league, then along came von Oelhoffen. The thing is that it was a knee and not his head...his decision making is terrible now and he shows little signs of getting better.

He's never had to worry about being benched or being scrutinized alot in the media. Ocho Cinco (and now TO) are there for that.

That's because no one really cares about Cincinnati

It's kinda the same reason why they don't scrutinize David garrard

Yep, cos he's a white devil.

He was amazing pre-injury.

The knee injury almost certainly messed with his mechanics - he doesn't throw the ball nearly as hard as he used to. Perhaps it's nowhere near what it used to be, or perhaps it's all mental and he just doesn't trust it.

[Dpantherman]

Ochocinco just made a great TD grab.

^^edit: no TD

Hey, its hurt his development. If he had that kinda pressure to deal with he'd be alot tougher and a much better QB. Nobody ever took the training wheels off Carson. As is, even surrounded with talent he has he cant manage to win. The guy is one of the top 2 highest paid QBs in the league.

[Dpantherman]

Marvin Lewis got lucky, the TO before the FG worked.

[Joscott]

He got paid based off of 2005 numbers and now he plays scared and has lost that killer instinct. The Bengels are full of guys that were legitimate playmakers...now they have a broken Qb throwing to an aged wide out that drops it more than anyone in the league.

I do love Shipley though, and Benson and Gresham aren't anything to sniff at either.

Gresham is a beast. I was at our game against the Bengals earlier this season and Gresham impressed me more than anybody on their team. Dude can stretch that field from the TE position.

Gresham should develop into a good one, I'm just think the Bengels are going to have to move away from the Palmer era and avoid signings like the TO one.
