Former Bengals Quarterback Carson Palmer Predicts A Bengals Win This Weekend

Former Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer is the only person on planet Earth that earned a higher prestige in the villains club of American than Mike Brown, Sauron and Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg combined. Palmer has access to the Executive Villain's club restroom, if you will, with servants drying hands using the puppies from the touching Sarah McLachlan Animal Cruelty commercial.
Ultimately it doesn't matter.
Palmer quit on the Bengals and was eventually traded to Oakland, giving Cincinnati a second first round draft pick this year that's currently slotted at 17th overall. With a chance to win on Sunday, the Raiders and Carson Palmer could have claimed the AFC West and a playoff berth. Instead they lost to the San Diego Chargers, heading home for the postseason.
When told after the game that the Bengals made the playoffs, Palmer said:
"Are you serious?" Palmer said. "At what, 9 and 7? And they play at Houston? Cincy will beat Houston, watch."
Though fans might sigh with a whatever in Palmer's response, there has to be a hint of genuine prognostication from Palmer, who we're sure still has friends in Cincinnati's clubhouse, despite the fact he largely quit on the team.
So we're sure that Palmer will take a keen interest in the Cincinnati Bengals this Saturday. After all he's watching the team that he abandoned several months ago, once again, from the comfort of his California home.

get off the band wagon palmer
ur not wanted here
" Mike Brown is the owner that Cincy doesn't deserve, not the one it needs..."
Bottom Line
The Palmers wanted out of Cincy. Money was not the reason, Brown was fair. Brown and Palmer were in the game to place Palmers Family in position to look forward. Breakup was fair to both parties. Both were right . Mike gave Palmers family a chance to move forward, Great job! Mike Brown gave the Palmers a new start! Mike Brown as Owner and Operator has Heart. Mike Brown gave the Palmer Family all he had. What else could a business guy do or Not DO! Mike Brown gave the Palmers a new start! Did He Not.
everyone is now dumber for have read this...I award you no points.....

Keep our teams name out of your mouth Palmer you quitter! I can’t believe I defended him so vehemently last year, then he turns around and shat on our entire city. To all fellow Bengal fans that I had arguments about over Palmer, I sincerely apologize- I don’t think I’ve ever changed how I feel about an athlete so quickly and aggressively… And I honestly wish Palmer nothing but the worst moving forward (sorry if u think that’s wrong)

Palmer....one thing to say about that comment
MIND YOUR BUSINESS PALMER
"In a battle between patience and power, patience always wins"
Look at Palmer.
He’s going to be a cheerleader this off-season. Come February, on Radio Row, he’s going to be applauding his former team. He should look at the mirror and ask why dysfunction seems to follow him. He goes to Oakland and they collapse, their HC wants to fire everyone in the company. He leaves Cincy…they rebuild quickly.

no he didn't
He probably felt in a no win situation w/the mess involving his mrs and his home. Dysfunction galore, although he was a contributor to it so he isn’t excused of it.
And Oakland sucked when he got there. They are in a weak division and had a good start and were trying to go for broke. Worked out in our favor.

I don't hate Palmer
I totally understood why he did what he did. This organization was completely dysfunctional. MB probably would never have given more authority to Lewis if Palmer had not made it so clear to everyone what a screwed-up FO this was. If Palmer had done nothing but keep his mouth shut and keep plugging away, do you know what we would have — we would still have Bob B for OC. Same ol’, same ol’. Somebody had to take a stand and Palmer did it. Personally, I have no problems with what he did, and he was right when he said that it woud be better for the team to go in a new direction.

Palmer acted out of pure selfishness
His quitting helped us out in the long run (or so it seems), but it took some good luck in the draft and some poor front office moves in Oakland to make that happen.

Also
Im still not convinced Carson wasn’t the REASON Brat stayed so long. If he wanted “change” as people assumed then he should have opened his mouth and brought public pressure on Mikey to change. Carson campaigned for TO— he was at the center of all the dysfunction. For all we know he was mad at Mikey finally starting to change and giving Marvin more authority.

Coles was not as bad as everyone says today
The real issue was they should have resigned TJ when they had the chance. He still had some mileage left in 2009. He might have made a difference that season. Carson had a lot of trust in TJ.
by California Bengal Fan on Jan 2, 2012 1:41 PM EST up reply actions
Only problem is
TJ did not want to come back to the Bengals. He wanted out, and he wanted to go to a west coast team (not offense wise)…
Also, Coles was not that good down the stretch...
Even that whole season, if memory serves me correctly, he was not that good. I seem to remember the Bengals giving him a 4-year deal, but cutting right after year one…That has to say something about Coles…
No way -- Carson was sick of the status quo, and that included Bob B
He was not publically vocal about it — But when he thought things were going to just continue as they had before, that was when he dug his heels in.
He was very disappointed at the re-hiring of Lewis (as many of us were at the time).
I believe he understood very well that Bob B was a big part of the problem.
Carson was part of the problem too — He is not as good as a lot of people thought.

I liked him too...but catching the game winning TD a few weeks
ago against us, I would like to repay him for his efforts. Agreed though, with the receivers we had, he did not have much of a chance to play for us, he still did whatever was asked of him…
I want to win for many reasons
But to spite JJoe isn’t one of them— he played hard when he was here, and he left at the appropriate time without ever throwing a fit. I wish he stayed, but that’s the business, and I don’t fault him for going to what, at the time, were greener pastures.
Okay....this is interesting:
Carson Palmer

Andy Dalton

dalton has ZERO redzone picks....

Well, in fairness, we did
We deserve to be there as much as any team that didn’t get in, and the playoffs are a whole new season, but we needed a hell of a lot of luck (and Jets failures) to squeak in.
by emeybee on Jan 2, 2012 1:27 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
if you start out 6-2
and then go 3-5, never beating a team with a record over .501 for the season, and fail to clinch a playoff birth in your final game, requiring help from 4 other teams to clinch. uh, what would you call it?
" Mike Brown is the owner that Cincy doesn't deserve, not the one it needs..."
Well, I think much has been made about not beating a team with a winning record,
and I have to question that. Is it beating a team with a winning record at the END of the season, or is it beating a team with a winning record at the time we play them? It it is at the end of the season, then yes, we beat the Tennessee Titans who finished 9-7, plus we beat the Cardinals who finished 8-8…not a winning record, but not a losing record either, which is probably why you said a .501 record…
However, if it is at the time we played them, then when we played the Bills they were 3-0, and when we played the Titans, they were 4-3, as well as the Cardinals that were 7-7…
So this whole argument about them not beating a team with a winning record, is not has clear cut as it seems.
we beat the bills while they had a winning record i think
as for the .500 teams. we beat 3 or 4 of those along the way
" Mike Brown is the owner that Cincy doesn't deserve, not the one it needs..."
Thanks for clearing that up...
Yes, the Bills were undefeated when we played them, and they had just beaten the Pats..
This whole thing about not beating a team with a winning record sounds nice, but when you look under the surface, it loses it’s sheen….
The other way to look at it is that they never lost to a team with a losing record
That’s called taking care of business.

They spent the season setting up a scenario where they were in
only a couple unlikely (and one extremely unlikely) scenarios would keep them out.

Even though we had a better record than the Broncos, the Broncos are a higher seed because they won their division.

"Carson Palmer finally helps Bengals get to playoffs"
A buddy of mine posted this on Facebook. LOVE IT!
I hope Carson was joking
since we already lost to the Texan’s 3rd string rookie QB, who was a 5th rounder, and outplayed Dalton. Delhomme is awful, so if he is the starter, maybe. But otherwise, we are screwed. We can’t even beat a winning team. Carson hasn’t been the problem for the Raiders the last few weeks anyways. Its their defense
dalton will probably never be a pro bowler
cincy doesnt get many nods to the pro bowl. ask whit.
" Mike Brown is the owner that Cincy doesn't deserve, not the one it needs..."
Dalton is 1st alternate..so all he needs is for
either Brady, Rivers Roethlisberger (???) to bow out, and he will be there…. :)
It only took
injuries to McCoy, Schaub, Hasselbeck, Jason Campbell, Peyton Manning, and Matt Cassel to help Dalton become an alternate
Dude he's a rookie
Ben’s either going to the Super Bowl or Steelers won’t let him play with the sprained ankle. So Dalton’s in. Accept the fact that Dalton makes great decisions and doesn’t just throw it up to Green and hope. He beat out Tebow!
Do you think we could trade Dalton for Tebow
at least tebow can beat winning teams. and have a winning record (Dalton lost the Browns game, we were losing when he left)
so Dalton is 8-7 instead of 9-7

i think the point remains valid that dalton will not in his career be the 1st choice for the probowl
once you get into the probowl being the number 6-15 choice at a position because a ton of people passed, is it really being honored?
cincy tends to get dismissed in probowl honors. regardless of how many players we have annually that deserve that nod. haven’t looked at this years list, let me assume, there’s a ton of pats and ny players on the roster.

I can't some Cincy fans are dogging Andy Dalton.
You might fairly argue that Newton is the best QB from that draft class, but Dalton is clearly better than all the rest of them—and you stole him in the 2nd round!
I guarantee you that Texans fans know he’s going to be a tough opponent Saturday afternoon. He’s already good and I predict he’ll get much better. I’m just glad he’s not in our Division, which he very easily could have been.
I can't some either
but when Dalton gets outplayed by the Texans 3rd string, 5th rounder AGAIN, then I think they’ll get over it
Thanks FreedomRide...

So you blame Dalton for the losses against those teams?
Was Dalton playing defense on those 14 pts the Defense gave up on those long runs? Did Dalton fumble the ball when they were driving in the 4th quarter down by 4? Ummm I dont think so my friend
by cincyboi on Jan 2, 2012 2:49 PM EST via mobile reply actions
+1000000
And supposedly it is the ref’s fault instead of the run defense that the Bengals lost to Baltimore. Dalton is a great ROOKIE QB and like all rookie’s he will learn from the playoffs. I think Texas has a better chance playing at home, but anything is possible. Except beating Balt or Pitt once this year…… (sadly).
Did he have only 50% completion
Did he throw a TD pass? Or even come close to doing that? No. And our defense isn’t blameless, but Dalton certainly didn’t help
Actually he did come close. But I have a question for you
Did he hurt his team by throwing int’s? Did he put his team in a position to win after falling behind the 8ball early in the game down 10? Is baltimore not a top 3 defense? I think in ten games this year he’s faced a top ten d. He is a rookie after all with NO RUNNING GAME
by cincyboi on Jan 2, 2012 2:59 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
cause we didn't score a rushing TD. Oh wait
And he did throw picks that they dropped. Like defenses have all seasons
No running game throughout the season is what I was referring to
And dropped picks are not picks. And I only recall one in the game yesterday. But believe what you want to. The league respects Dalton. Everyone says good things about the kid

If you’re the Raiders do you give Jason Campbell the opportunity to win his starting job back? Raiders looked really good with him running the team before he got hurt. I know they gave a boatload to get Palmer, and you don’t give up that much for a guy to sit….still if you look at their overall perforances this season, I’m not convinced Campbell wouldn’t be the better option.
And I know this is a Bengals blog so the last thing we should care about is who will be the starting QB for another AFC team, but it’s just something that was on my mind.
No. Palmer wasn't the problem
The defense was. Campbell played alright, but not much better than Palmer (worse if you don’t count those first few weeks Palmer was playing. They’re franchise player (McFadden) was hurt for most of the last half of the season. Palmer not only had a limited understanding of the system, but his top receivers got hurt so the ones he had chemistry with weren’t playing at all. Palmer is their QB. period
So Palmer gets all those excuses from you?
But Dalton is f@cked? Did Dalton stand you up or something? You seem to have a very real anger towards Dalton, so is there some history? Did he not sign an autograph for you? Did he not give you his jersey after a game?

He hates all things Red
Democrat? Crip? Was traumatized by Santa Claus? Who knows…

Probably not.
Hue put ALL of his eggs in the Palmer basket. He’s not going to create a situation where Palmer is in more pressure. They’ll let him go and give Palmer a lesser backup option.

If they were smart they would
But if they were smart they wouldn’t have gambled their future on Palmer. I wouldn’t mind Campbell being our back up. He would be an upgrade from what we have.

He would be an upgrade as a starter
He won’t take a backup position anyways
At this rate...
His options are limited. Half the league have franchise QBs or young QBs they believe will be franchise QBs. Others will be drafting a QB next year and this day and age? Rookies pretty much start right away. His options will be limited. His best bet? Go to a team with an oft-injured starter like Houston or Arizona. I really wonder who will give Matt Flynn a huge contract. Wouldn’t be shocked if Cleveland does.

He's going to be a backup for Oakland
Why don’t you go back to the texans site. Douche!

He has said he thinks he's a starter
so I seriously doubt that. He’s a decent QB. And there are several teams that will be looking for QBs and there are maybe 2 or 3 QBs that would be drafted and start right away. And the Colts are taking Luck. So that leaves possibly Cleveland, Seattle, maybe Tampa, maybe Jacksonville, Miami, maybe Jets, Redskins, and maybe Broncos and Cardinals. I bet he and Orton can both find teams where they can start. And I’ve never been on the Texans site.
jason campbell is a free agent

I know
But if he stays in Oak with all they have tied up in Palmer Campbell would more than likely be backup. If Hue started JC over Palmer after he orchestrated that trade the fans would probably kill him. Who knows wilder things have happened out there.

too many teams need qbs
campbell will find work as a starter if he tests fa market
" Mike Brown is the owner that Cincy doesn't deserve, not the one it needs..."
I can only really count a small handufl
that are truly looking for a QB. Cleveland, Miami (Although Moore impressed as starter, depends what the new HC wants to do), Jax (Gabbert is a lost cause and they didn’t put much into him), Washington (a place I doubt he wants to return)…some other teams like Minnesota, Seattle, SF, KC might give him a look. JC will be the second most sought after FA QB after Flynn. I think Campbell ends up in Jacksonville with Gabbert pushed back to the bench. Flynn will be a Brown.

No there isn't.
unless you think last years was too. Newton should have been the only 1st rounder.
He Liked Cincy
His wife didn’t. It’s that simple. When you add it all up, his wife wanted to be out on the West Coast and that is all it came down to. He still likes the players on the team as well. I think part of it also was he wanted a pass first team, not a run to set up the pass team and didn’t like Marvin’s philosophy. Either way, he’s a wimp who couldn’t stand up to his wife or a selfish player, which we don’t want either.
Ya
He should have done the right thing and beat his wife into submission.
Staying with one of the worst franchises that seems to have little desire to change is more important than family.
His wife could have stayed in California.
Many professional sports figures don’t live where they play and that includes their family.

Get outta here, kid...
We get it you don’t like Dalton and you have no friends. Now go sit alone in your room and stay off our boards.
Why even comment about it Palmer?
It doesn’t seem he can go a game without throwing at least 1 bad pick anymore.

Carson Palmer 2011 Comeback Player of the Year
"Raiders' Carson Palmer considers season a failure"
Carson Palmer was asked after the Raiders’ season-ending loss Sunday whether the midseason trade for him – at the cost of a first-round pick and a second-rounder – was a failure.
“It was this year,” he said. "It didn’t work out for us this year. I always feel like when you don’t win, the quarterback can always play better, and I can definitely play better. It stinks to sit here and say next year, what are we going to do next year.
" Mike Brown is the owner that Cincy doesn't deserve, not the one it needs..."
