Ocho Cinco in Midnight Green?

I thought something sounded familiar, so I dug up a post from a few years back on the old Huddle pages.

Here's what it said:

I think a change of scenery would do wonders for T.O. and improve the Eagles team. I give T.O. the benefit of the doubt considering it can't be easy to play for one of the worst organizations in the league. I think T.O. would be welcomed with open arms in Philly (me included) and he would be treated like a king. I think for that reason, he would perform like a king also.

Wow. Amazing, huh? :eek:

(sorry JR; I couldn't resist) :boxing_smiley:

If anyone is overrated its his QB Carson Palmer.

You won't find many folks who agree with this statement.

I do.

I've watched Palmer a fair amount, and while his mechanics are good and he can throw a nice looking pass, he's got his issues. I'd classify him as a good quarterback, but he's regularly lumped in with guys like Manning and Brady when in reality he's not at that level, and I'd honestly say he's not even close.

And I would also call Chad Johnson overhyped, though in reality you can't put all of the blame for that on him. Yes, he can be an attention *****, but nobody's forcing ESPN and other outlets to feed into that. They just choose to do so.

I've always thought Palmer was missing something like the clutch factor or something. He's almost a Bledsoe type. Looks pretty throwing, technically sound, racks up yards, but something's missing.

I think that it is more of a lack of passion for the game of football.

Also it could be he has lost that while being in Cincy.

Hmm..that's a thought. But it seems to me that Palmer just has that laid back Cali thing going on as his personality, not sure if it means that he isn't into the game. I've heard him say some pretty fierce type things, about the Steelers for instance. lol

    • 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......
