DontPushMe Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Are half of you guys losing your minds?? Your picking starting QB that wont want to come here and play for a few games and then hold a clipboard!!!! Ramsey? Carter? get real ...We are talking about a backup....someone that doesnt mind riding the pine after afew games...damnPlease tell me where some of the names mentioned will be starting next year? Ramsey is a backup to Mark freakin Brunell. Hes not going to go anywhere and start right now. This situation would be ideal for him on a 1 or 2 year deal, he would surely look better here then he does in washington because of our WRs and O-Line, which would open up the option of him starting elsewhere after that.And who is Carter?

walshfan Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 If Kitna moves on I think Kurt Warner would be a great fit.. He's still got the arm and he's at the age where just playing some would be allright with him.. I think he knows his starting days are about over... with the receivers we have I think he'd put up some good numbers in Carson's absence...

pedroza29 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 anyone other than kitna can back up palmer in my opinion. the #3 jersey for cincy should be burned and considered a curse after sundays performance. give me anyone that doesn't run around like a damn chicken with their head cut off or bases their throwing on 3 yard dump passes and i'll be happy. i'm pretty sure that we could get one of the homeless guys from outside PBS and he would be better than kitna at this point.is krenzel out of the picture? he never even had a shot...

buck3y3d Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Schaub is starter material and would be expensive. Hell, if I was Atlanta I would play Schaub at QB and move Vick into a WR/HB combo or something. Schaub is a signifigantely better pocket passer, it's not even close.I like Warner and McCown, but again, I think the're too much money. I wouldn't mind using a 6th or 7th round pick on a rough QB with alot of skills. I think Tim Couch is a probable answer, but he's drawing interest from alot of teams and would really want to come to Cincinnati. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshfan Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Word is that the Bengals are interested in Brian Griese when he's released from the Bucs..Couch's arm will never be strong again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott91575 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Almost all good alternatives are too much $. The simple fact is there is no longer a need for a veteran. Palmer is the guy, and the injury has to be ignored. The veterans out there require too much $. Kitna is the best alternative. Outside of that there needs to be a guy that can sling the ball downfield. A backup will not carry this team to the Super Bowl. That is what this team is looking at. Only a backup that can throw deep to win a couple regular season games will do. That means a live, young arm. Plenty our there. Other than than it kills the cap for an also ran that won't get this team to the promised land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Aaron Brooks. He is out at NO, and would probably play for Kitna's money. I have a hard time thinking that any NFL team (other than Miami) wants him as a starter, those who have desperate need will go after one in the draft. Plus with Rivers, Warner, McCown, Couch and Volek out there he may not get as much attention as the FA's who are ready now, since Brooks won't be cut till March.I have met Aaron Brooks. Dumb as a rock.Plus he has always been disliked by his teammates ever since the Saints went with him over the more popular Delhomme in NO....Also my fiances mother works at a nonprofit in NO and deals with alot of the Saints. And every Saint that was in there didn't care for Brooks very much. They couldn't stand the guy. Mostly when asked about him they would roll their eyes, and say "whatever". So to bring him here??? Cancer!....Noooo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARVIN=W'S Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 If all the reports are true, about the damage to Palmers knee, it may very well be more than the first few games. If you guys think they are going to rush him back you are nuts. So I believe we need a guy who is a starting calibre QB to play here. How about a guy who is at the end of his career, who is going to be forced out for the QB of the future, and is going to want to prove to everyone (including his old team) that he can still play. What better weapons is a free agent QB going to find? My choice for the guy we should sign to a 2 year deal. He can play next year until CP is back then retire or hold the clip board the next year.

cincy9275 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 1. schaub2. warner3. krenzel yes i said krenzel he is a playmaker . he's young he knows our ofense he is a leader and his is very mobile not a runner but he can move. we could use him like the steelers use ben. he won 3 of 5 games as a rookie on the sorry ass bears .with the talent we have he could lead this team untill carson is ready.

ArmyBengal Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I mentioned his name in another thread, but don't know his status in Tennessee. Volek... I wouldn't mind seeing him come in here in the least if he were available. Besides him, I could care less, as long as they were in camp early to start learning the offense. BROOKS is a piece of SH*T and as already mentioned, IQ of a thumbtack. If I want to see someone running around the backfield like an assmonkey, only to throw it the wrong way, lets go ahead and overpay for Kitna to come back. Oh yeah, did anyone see where Kitna stated if the Bengals would "Sweeten the pot" he would consider not going into free agency ?? If this is the case, that's not a real Christian thing to be saying and furthermore, who the hell is he to think he can DEMAND anything after what we have seen ?? Don't tell me his knowledge of the offense either, that's getting old already...WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have two job offers and one pays more that the other, which on do you take? Kitna is doing what the business calls for, and I think he'll get more in free agency to be a stop gap starter somewhere, just like he was here.Schaub - No way we get him, unless we give probably a second round pickVolek would porbably take a first day pick as well.Warner might fit.My vote goes to Jeff George of any quarterback with the name "Billy Jo" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walzav29 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Knowing Marvin, he won't just assume that Palmer will be back. He won't put the team in a position of "the season's over without Palmer". I don't think he likes Kitna. I think he'll go for Kurt Warner and draft a QB. What do you think?

I also can't see this organization giving up much in the way of a 1st or 2nd to get a QB. Maybe a third, but definitely no more than that. WHODEY !!!

schweinhart Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 One factor that should enter into the Bengals decision at QB is Carson's expressed wish for Kitna to be re-signed. I would think Kitna might be worth the money just for the support he would provide during Carson's rehab. My guess would be that it would have a lot more positive impact than any free agent, cut QB, traded QB, drafted QB who was brought in just to plug the hole and maybe chuck the ball 10 yards farther downfield.In watching the Game of the Week yesterday, Kitna's weakness in the vertical game was magnified with the replays of the two blown TD bombs to Housh and Chad. Both throws were not even 50 yards but were barely off timing. Throw them a split second earlier and both were TDs. Kitna can make those throws. And more work between him and the split wides on their timing should improve the results if needed.Hopefully, Carson's doctor did a better job on the knee reconstruction than he did on his hatchet job with the media and Carson will be in full swing by mid-season at the latest. If he's got to be inactive for 4 or 5 games into the season, I'd rather see the Bengals roll with Kitna to try to win a couple of those games and set the stage for Carson's return.But if the Bengals can get Matt Schaub for a #2, do it and cut Krenzel.
