gregstephens Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 The bolded quote is pure conjecture on Bearcat's part and nothing more.The bolded quote is characteristic of a long suffering Bengals fan that has been beat down to expect the worst and be pleasantly shocked at the best. I don't agree with said quote, but certainly understand the history of this shleprock team that has created its spirit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Just draft or sign some serious OL protection for Palmer, and he'll return to form. IMO that should be the #1 focus of the team during the draft and free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAPPYJAQ Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Even if Carson has indeed lost some arm strength, he still has the intelligence and knowledge of the offense to be an above-average QB for the Bengals. He has at least a 50/50 chance to regain his "Elite" status from a few years back, although I'm not sure that he'll ever put up the stats from earlier in his career again. Now is the time to start thinking about grooming a capable backup that could eventually start in a few seasons, and I'm not talking about a 5th round QB from a "Pistol" offense, either.
