Carson Palmer

What does everyone think about the QB situation in Cincinatti . Palmer just reinforced his earlier desire for a trade . Saying that he will never play for Cincinnati again . Do you think his threat to retire is a little extreme ? I think he needs the trade . A change of scenary is exactly what he needs in my opinion . He has been pretty dire in his last two seasons in Cincinatti .

I think he'll leave but who will take him is the question.
Maybe he is overvaluing his potential worth, he was garbage for last season

Put it this way, if I were trading for an NFL QB, I'd take Kolb or Orton over him.
Hell I'd probably take Mark Bulger as a free agent over him

Palmer ---> Tennessee
Cincinnati <--- Vince Young

Makes sense to me.

Palmer to the niners makes a lot of sense to me. Jim Harbaugh is not going to draft a QB this year, he'd rather take his chances of getting Luck next season, and as a result he basically needs a game manager and with players like Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree and Frank Gore Palmer would be very interested in returning to California

mikemac

Yeah, good call on the niners.

If Palmer goes anywhere, I see it being there

Great year to be a free agent QB.

The draft class of QB's all look to have serious questions to answer and at least 6 teams really need a QB.

Playing with that pair of dingleberries last season cant have helped him. Think would be good fit for the 49ers as they do have some talent on the offense.

I can understand Palmer wanting to leave the Bungles. They have too many troublesome players there, its can't be easy for a regular guy(especially a QB) to put up with that.

The niners does make sense but I don't see how anybody would think that Harbaugh could be looking at Luck next year. There is virtually no chance they will have the no.1(or even a top 5) pick which is where Luck will go.

Woud love to see Palmer end up in Miami. Type of guy we badly need.

D.R Adams

Vikings perhaps?? Or will they look to secure the services of a rookie in the draft?

Peyton Manning

Palmer's not the problem in Cincinnati, it's no coincidence that his best game of the season came when TO and Ocho weren't playing. These are two guys who are more interested in their own celebrity than they are in their team. In an ideal world, the Bengals would stop bringing in scrubs like TO, Ocho and Pacman and actually give game time to the legitimate talents they have who don't jeopardize the team's chemistry.

Palmer's best asset (his arm) is on the decline, but he's still a very serviceable QB. With young receivers like Simpson, Shipley and the TE Gresham, he still has a lot to offer the Bengals but the Bengals have pretty much shot themselves in the foot by showing little professional smarts to keep their QB happy. Tough shít if you ask me, because they had a brilliant platform to build on after last season's division clean sweep.
