I personally think its time for Carson to go.  I think he has lost all hope in the Bengals and his play has fell because of that.  WIth that said, Is another QB going to save this team?  Unless we get Andrew Luck, and we probably wont, what else are we going to find better than Palmer.  Especially if we dont make any major coaching changes.  Even if we get rid of Brat, Mike Brown will probably just hire someone from in house who is just as bad as Brat.  Is another QB going to be able to work with this offensive line, these recievers, this horrible play calling?  What if we continue to lose and not replace?  Say Chad and TO is gone, and Andre Smith never comes back right, Bobbie Williams continues to play worse, Kyle Cook stays playing at this level, and all the other possibilitys for this team to get even worse.  I just dont see reaching for Cam Newton, Ryan Mallet, or getting Locker or Ponder in rd 2 is going to save this team.  I think throwing a rookie into this team is just going to destroy his career like the Browns did to Tim Couch.  What I think we should do, Trade Palmer for a whatever we can get, be it picks or O line help.  Pick up a Kerry Collins, Jon Kitna type QB.  Draft AJ Green because Luck will be gone.  Trade Chad for whatever we can get.  Dont resign TO.  And draft whatever the Best O line we can in rounds 2 and 3.  Or if a suitable QB is in the 2nd get him and let him sit untill the team is able to protect him.
