    You guys know the players and team way better than me, but IMO they should use that first pick on one of the top QBs this year, but let Collins start and play for a while while bringing the kid along (given the assumption that he won't be able to get into camp and learn like a normal off season) by the bye week or end of the year, he should be ready to go. I know it's not that easy but it would solve the long term issue and also not a bad plan for next season and especially beyond.

    Most fans hate Chad. They think he's flashy and takes away from the team concept.

    A lot of fans are done with both Palmer and Chad...and TO.

    It's the Bengals though...they'll always be "that" team.

    To the poster who made the comment about Kolb...

    I think Kolb still has more room to improve. You kinda know what you get with Palmer. He could make a team change and have a hell of a year, but I'd be willing to give Kolb a shot before Palmer.

    Just the ones that don't remember Akili Smith, David Klingler, Scott Mitchell and Gus Frerrotte. All the Bengals fans I know that actually know a little sumthin' wish CP wasn't leaving.

    LOL. That doesn't even make sense.

    Kolb hasn't gotten a full season to prove his worth yet. Palmer has had quite a while to show what he can do. He's not a bad quarterback but he's not one that is going to win you a championship. I wish the guy the best but I want to win a Super Bowl. Palmer won't cut it.

    The problem in Cinci is Mike Brown.

    Since we're not gonna compare # of fans we know, I'll skip that part.

    Carson Palmer is not a Super Bowl caliber QB just because he's better than the QB's they've had in the past. I don't want to spend 1-2 years "rebuilding". I want to win now. We've got the talent now and our talent is young.

    Palmer isnt the ideal QB but a upgrade over VY and Collins.

    I'll take any QB thats at least a upgrade. Teams wont even have time this season to go over playbooks,plans ect... VY wouldnt be able to come in and run this offense on the fly with all these new coaches and stuff. this season is gonna be a mess for a lot of teams. the teams with the best QB's will not have that tough of a time.

    palmer is terrible.....worst qb in afc north and along with that hold and washed up.....let him retire....i would love to trade back if gabbert/cam is gone and pick up another second and draft d-end of solid guard like pouncey and move harris back to center

    then draft a qb in the second along with dt/de

    that right there upgrades 3 of our needs

    boller or someone along his lines are our best option as palmer is washed up, kolb is unproven and it would be like trading for a rookie qb....mcnabb is on the decline...collins has been past the decline after 08 season and rusty is unproven and got thrown in the fire but is a qb with nice upside for a late round pick and nice work ethic....i would rather have rusty or our rookie qb whether that would be mallet, ponder, kaep, etc. if the coaches like them to start over some washed up scrub like palmer or unproven qb that we give up a draft pick(worth much more in talent wise) for a qb who hasnt even got the chance to play either

    Agreed.

    I don't know why some fans want Palmer. He was good when he came out and has declined nearly every year since. If we're not gonna shoot to compete for the division we might as well just get our rookie some playing time and bring a winner in to mentor him.
