Commentary: More Drama From the Palmers

I think that J Palmer should be the number three QB on the team when the season starts, but his brother may get him cut instead.

If the team didn’t have a rookie quarterback that needed to soak up extra playing time, Jordan Palmer might have some more time on the field. Partially thanks to Carson, that’s not the case.

So true. Since Carson threatened retirement, we were pretty much bound by that to draft a rookie QB. Since we’re now looking for the next Franchise QB (because our old one quit on us), we have to try out our rookie and not go with a stop gap vet. That rookie needs play time, and that has to come out of the other QBs time.

Why don’t you come back, Carson, so we won’t have to give all that play time to the rookie? Right, because now, if you came back, Jordan would probably get cut pretty quickly.

Also interesting how you say nothing of LeFevour, who is getting pretty much the same play time as Jordan.

if carson was here jordan would still be getting minimal reps. looks like carson is opening his own winery

Carson should just be glad his brother collected a pay check this long.

If only to make CP think twice about coming back. If he shows up, lil’bro gets cut.

I find it interesting that Carson never speaks directly to the media since he decided to quit on the Bengals and retire. Anytime he wants to get a message out it is always through a 3rd party who says that Carson told them whatever. I think part of it is that Carson has a need to be the good guy to the fans and the media. I think this is part of what made Carson a bad leader. He was too busy trying to be liked, instead of getting in guys faces and making them do things the right way.

As far as Jordan goes. He is lucky to have ridden Carson’s coat tails as long as he has in the NFL. The guy is a turnover machine every time they put under center.

CP was the reason I became a bengals fan in 2003, and I still had a LITTLE respect for him if he would have just stayed home and been quiet about his opinions of this team but this comment is it for me.

If he stayed, JP would have been backup and we would have never been down this road. He should explain to JP its because of him and JP lack of talent that he can’t get reps in games.

Another thing carson, but this is how it works in the NFL. There are 60-80 other QB in camps in the same position try to get snaps. Not everyone could come from collage with the hype carson did. I hope JP gets cut now just so we don’t have to hear anymore about this joke of a family that wants everything handed to them

Everything wrong that has happened to the Bengals in the last 20 years is Mike Browns fault. Stop being afraid of burning bridges and let the truth out.

I feel like he is one of the mean girls!…who cares what the Bengals are doing about ur damn brother! Its a business. I could get fired tomorrow without a fair explination and no one will give a shit…cp needs to see that its a damn business and if the company doesn’t want palmer lite well they can do whatever the hell they want with it…seriously this comments confirms to me that carson is living in his parents basements playing COD eating PBJ’s

If this was a private conversation Carson had with a “friend” why is everyone in such a pinch? The friend went to the media, not Carson. I agree with those of you saying that Carson doesn’t have a say in how the franchise runs its team nor is team obligated to give Jordan a fair shake; but, come the f..k on guys, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and especially when that opinion is conveyed to family and/or friends.

What are we in Stalinist Russia now, or what?

the job because of his brother. He was cut before he came to the bengals. What has he done as a bengal. he had a chance when his brother was hurt and in the preseason games. he sucked.

Note to Carson who do you think wants your brother? Do you want a trad and then force that team to carry your brother too. Or is your wife just upset again?

1st- JP is only here because of CP
2nd – JP was cut by the team that drafted him and CP didnt have nothing to say
3rd- JP sucks!!!!!
4th- JP knew going into the season his odds was slim to make the team because of CP actions
5th and finally- Who cares what CP say his a QUITER!!!!!!

Allegator wrestling under a rug. Nobody really knows what’s going on between Brown and Palmer. For all the money involved, both are wrestling.

P.S. Carson……….once the Bengals are 100% sure that you are going to “retire”, your brother will be unemployed………but since you got 80 million in the bank…………..i’m sure baby palmer will be just fine!!

  the bengals won’t cut jp because there is no way carson will show up in september and say here i am do something with me with jp the number 3 qb. if the bengals cut jp carson will force the bengals hand and show up . so i think that makes jp very valueable to mb…as in 11.5 million in is pocket.

with he said, she said journalism. Who is the friend? This is bush league writing and it isn’t worth repeating.

All the bad word’s coming about this season last year was 4-12 on a team that was going to be a play-off team. RE-Start is better than haging on to a Carson who is slow but sure loosing skill’s!

I just don’t believe CP would actually say this. Even if he did I doubt he intended it to be leaked through “a friend” to the media. This is either a hater trying to set him up or a too-eager friend taking some off-hand comment made over a beer as gospel. Carson understands the pecking order and the life of backup QB.

Nothing to see here…move on.
