Carson Palmer = Yes Please

[Ohio]

I wonder how him and Smitty would get along, he has a tendency to "want the damn ball" like T.O. and Ocho.

[monstercat]

Lettuce ketchup. jimmy is garbage, matt is trash. Carson would be perfect for us. Sign him to a 1 yr contract and go from there

We can't sign him to anything as long as the Bengals own his rights. That was my point when I said let's talk about this after they release him, which isn't going to happen.

He signed a contract. He should honor it. What about his teammates? Its not like he played even average last year. He's just not in a position to make demands like this which is why Im not surprised the Bengals are laughing and telling him "go retire".

This. If you sign a contract, man up and honor it. The only reason not to honor is health related issues, and since he wants to be traded, that isn't the case.

That being said, I still wouldn't mind if he became our QB, but I don't see it happening.

How do you feel about how the ownership side honors contracts?

I don't think he minds, he just wants to get the hell outta Cincinnati at the moment

only way i would be cool with palmer being here is if he is a backup.

i don't care who we have starting as long as it is someone they are looking at being here long term and could be the franchise guy. that isn't palmer.

if the team thinks that clausen can be that guy then they need to get him back in there soon to let him show it. he doesn't need to be sitting on the sidelines if they thing he can be the franchise QB. neither does any other guy they feel could be it.

Palmer probably wants to start & he's 31 years old post major surgery. He still managed to throw 26 tds last year and it was probably one of his worst performance wise in his career. I wouldn't be mad if we got him, but if we're looking for a backup vet he's not the fit. Bulger/Volek would make more sense if available from this approach.

Palmer makes sense if we're looking for a guy that can find that second wind and finish his career strong.

I was gonna point out that a contract is an agreement between 2 parties. Owners break contracts all the time.

If we could trade 1st's and get Palmer, we'd still have the #4 pick. We could get a damn good defensive player, have a QB to play for a couple of years while <insert young Panthers QB here> holds a clipboard, and have all the injured players from last year back. Including DWill.

[communist]

I have said it before, once Chad and TO were off the field last year, he looked a lot better because he wasn't trying to force the ball to one of them.

who cares about the garbage time of a season???

by the way, palmer wasnt very good on 09 either...

i don't care if he wants to start, although i think he should want to just to keep the actual starter on his toes.

starting him does nothing good long term for the franchsie.

i don't think that he has a second wind. he's done. he's toast. he might have a year or two of mediocre play, but i'd rather us really develop a franchise guy and let him play instead of spin our wheels and hope the guy can play after he sits for a couple years behind palmer.

[YoungPanthers89]

why not? he will be way better than anyone we have, if clausen has any potential it all he can learn from carson

[rico6]

He was barely above average with some of the 'great' receivers in the game.

If he wants anything more than a veteran minimum, let the bum walk.
