Andy Dalton And Jordan Palmer "Looked Sharp" During Practices
Did you know that Carson Palmer might not play for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2011? Seriously. It has nothing to do with injuries. No. It has nothing to do with money, considering he's incredibly wealthy for a starting quarterback with a 45-51 regular season record and two playoff losses. He just hates playing for the Cincinnati Bengals; or as Chad Ochocinco says, he hates losing. Not that pick-sixes, stalled third downs or five straight three-and-outs had anything to do with losing. The Mike Brown and Carson Palmer stalemate rages on while the team offered a contingency plan with Andy Dalton and, dare I say it, Jordan Palmer.
The entire Bengals squad worked out together on Wednesday, running plays with Andy Dalton, Jordan and Dan LeFevour throwing passes to Jerome Simpson, Ryan Whalen, Jordan Shipley, Quan Cosby, Jermaine Gresham and Chase Coffman.
Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer said that Dalton and Jordan "looked sharp on a variety of throws and routes".
Quote of the day — Goes to Bobbie Williams when asked about Dalton’s plight (rookie QB in a new offense without the benefit of OTAs): “I don’t know. I’ll just say, God help the young man. I mean, he’s placed in a challenging position. But you know what, in this profession you’re always placed in a challenging position, it’s up to you how you (react) to it.”

More important quote from that article:
Offense head count — Unofficially 20 players which included six players who started the Jan. 2 season finale at Baltimore (Simpson, Whitworth, Livings, Cook, B.Williams,Collins). Others we saw — J. Palmer, Dalton, LeFevour, Scott, Peerman, A.Smith, Gresham, Cosby, Shipley, Vakapuna, Roland, Whalen, Hudson, Coffman.
Whats Akilli doing there?
"A team is more than a group of individuals,its a group of individuals that come together to make a team"
No idea about Caldwell or Sands.
But Boling was there, at least on the first day, according to Joe Reedy: http://cincinnati.com/blogs/bengals/2011/06/06/22-at-first-day-of-offenses-workouts/
Does anyone else hope Jordan starts this year?
And leads the team to a playoff win. That would be amazing.
That would be a storybook stickem to Carson.

shouldn't anyone at that level look good when there is no defensive unit on the field?
"The only thing we have to fear is... Mike Brown himself."
I call up Mo Eggar and talked about JP 5 with him today
and told him I’d love for him to get his fair shot and Mo totally agreed. I think a lot of people are hating on JP5 because his last name is Palmer. We went 4-12 last year what do we really have to lose.
