Tom Jackson said palmer will lead the bengals

[jungleman]

and he had the same feeling with elway when he played.

who dey

[ahanes]

I saw that too. TJ is really a big supporter of the Bengals and Marvin Lewis (probably since he resides in Cincinnati) and that is a pretty lofty comparison to mention Palmer in the same breath as John Elway. Hope he's right!

[Stripes]

I think Tom Jackson played with Elway, so I'll take his words a little more seriously than I otherwise would. Who Dey is right.

[jungleman]

i think he wouldnt compare the 2 if he honestly didnt believe it. he played with the guy and has alot of respect for his legacy

[NYBengalfan]

Gee.... I've always liked Tom Jackson, he's always had a soft spot for the Bengals

[bengalindian]

I don't remember. Did Elway change the play at the line a lot like Carson and Peyton do?

Not only would Elway call his own plays at the line, he'd call his own substitutions from the huddle.

[bengalboomer7]

They didn't audible as mich in John's time but he did his share I'm sure.

I missed Tom

How bout some details

[NJ29]

As others said, whe n idiots like Theismann say stuff like that, I don't put any stock into it. But when a guy who played with Elway, and who would be extra careful with that comparison, throws that out there, it's legit.

Mr. Jackson lives right here in Cincinnati. Thus the soft spot.
