ArmyBengal Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Congrats to Carson and praise to the O-line !!! Please Carson, take it easy and come back healthy !!! Children's hospital should erect a statue in Carson's honor for all the money he brought them this year. If I'm not mistaken, it was $5,000 a pop x5 and the $25,000 overall at the end of the season. If my math is good (it's ususally not) that's $50,000 total. I see a rename to, The Carson Palmer Children's Hospital... WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschooler Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Glad to hear "something" good after the past few days.I can hear Carson now..."This award should have my team mates names on it too, without them I wouldn`t have been able to win anything. They did all of the blocking andcatching. I just did my job and threw them the ball.""Now please excuse me while I get back to rehabbing my knee...I`ve got alot of work ahead of me and some Steeler ass to kick."

Riagogogoindanati Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 CONGRATS NOT ONLY TO PALMER, BUT THE REST OF OUR OFFENSE, TOO!

WHO-DEY!SUCKS THE BEST QB IN THE LEAGUE ISN'T IN THE BIG DANCE.......NEXT YEAR BOYS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet23 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Well deserved. I'm don't want anyone to purposely hurt Kimo Von Kneecapper, but somebody owes him a bitch slap at least. Does anyone else feel like a wuss that the Bengals were tripping all over themselves absolving Kemo of any wrong doing. Even if he didn't do it on purpose, you took out our franchise and life's a bitch, now here's your a$$ whopping. Somebody needed to step up and grab Carson's back!That's o.k., they have the entire offseason to review that hit. There's always next year!

HairOnFire Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 That's probably the only good news worth mentioning since the Buffalo game, and due to the charity involved it's the type of recognition that will actually mean something to Palmer.

He definitely would have thrown in "I am HONORED and FLATTERED to have recieved this award," he always talks about being flattered when people say something about an award he won or is in contention for.

Kazkal Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 If Carson hadn’t got hurt, maybe the Cincinnati Bengals would have been here instead of the Pittsburgh Steelers,” Esiason told a group of children, doctors, and administrators. “On his doctor’s advice, he didn’t get on the plane.”Boomer trying to make up?

bengalindian Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I'd actually not like Carson to be compared to Peyton. Peyton showed this postseason that he can be a bad teammate, and proved that he is a choke artist in big games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peyton showed this postseason that he can be a bad teammate, and proved that he is a choke artist in big games.True, and you don't see Carson's parents trying to come out and defend him, like Archie has been doing with Peyton and Eli. I am truly beginning to think that Peyton is a spoiled kid who cannot take any responsibility for anything that happens to him or the Colts. I have seen games that the Bengals have lost, and the first thing Carson does is take responsibility for the loss, even if it wasn't his fault. He is a true leader and a future SB MVP.

derekshank Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Carson's greatest quality over Manning is that Carson gives all the credit to everyone else when they succeed, and takes all the blame with they don't. That is the sign of a leader that other guys support. Manning gets frustrated and does his finger pointing, and even played the blame game at the press conference after their loss.Palmer hasn't reached the status of Manning yet... but his leadership qualities should allow him to succeed in a way that Manning has yet to figure out.
