Bengals may be interested in Kolb

Add Bengals to list of teams interested in Kevin Kolb. Connect dots: Bengals WR coach is James Urban, who was Eagles QB coach last year.

If "dot connecting" is all he's doing (and it sounds like it is) then I don't know that I'd take this notion too seriously.

If t'were true though, a deal for Kolb might make them more willing to part with Carson Palmer.

I am still confused as to why people want Palmer or for that matter his insane contract. Also what back up do they have besides Palmers little brother and Lefevours? It makes sense to me.

Palmer's trade demand points out that he had 80 million in the bank and doesn't need the money anymore. He just wants to play for a better organization than the Bengals.

They have nothing else right now, but if they got a guy like Kolb or one of the rookies, they might be willing to part with Palmer.

I've been calling Palmer overrated for years, and still think so, but objectively speaking, there's no better, more proven option available this season.

They would be stupid enough for this kinda bullpoo.

Admittedly also one of my first thoughts.

Their new OC is a fella named "Gruden", so getting a guy with some WCO experience would make sense.

(Schefter's "dots" are that the Bengals new WR coach is Kolb's old QB coach)

I would force myself to get high, because that's the only way I could cope with the pain.

Yea because we can afford to be picky since Moore and Clausen seem to know what they're doing and getting the best available QB while drafting one with huge potential wouldn't help us out that much.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
