Even Brown had the guts to get off Palmers dick and trade him.
And a shitty guy like Dandy has a winning record for our shitty organization. Why couldn't a superstar like Carson? You can't have it both ways.
With Carson it's always an excuse why his talent isn't enough to lead a team.
Notice how I referenced those teams in the decade "prior to Carson showing up". Why did I do that? Because obviously this organization has begun turning it around (or it seems...TBD).
But anyhow, are you going on the record to say:
1) the organization in the years Carson was here = the organization in the years since Dandy has been here?
2) the talent and ability on the defensive side of the ball during Carson's years = the talent and ability on the defensive side of the ball since Dandy has been here?
Just curious. Even you can't truly believe the "argument" you just made.
And btw, not sure when "solid" began equating to "superstar". Or maybe you just need to use hyperbole to even attempt to make an argument at this.
To the first bold point..... What is this supposed to mean? I'm retarded? Irrational? Get over yourself dude.
To the second point.... I'd say Palmer was considered a top 5 qb by most pundits in 05, 06, 07, 08 (before injury). And I'd say he was considered a top 10-15 qb every other year he played. He was also an overall number 1 draft pick. When did we start considering him 'solid' and not a 'franchise' or 'superstar' type player?
To the other points.... Palmer took over an 8-8 ball club that was much better than the 2010 team that Dalton took over for. Palmer had a horrible defense. No argument. Palmer had a much better o-line and a better set of receivers than Dalton.
1) You always have been when it comes to Carson. For one, this entire thread is evidence of that. Secondly, lest you forget, just 5 days ago you were making the opposite argument that the Bengals management over the last 2 years has been "highly commendable" and "first-rate". So, irrational? Yes.

2) The original post to which you retorted merely mentioned Carson had a "solid" outing. Nothing more, nothing less.
Nonetheless, "franchise" is not synonymous to "superstar" and "elite" (words YOU used). But it is with "solid". Do I think Carson's talents and abilities make him a "solid" and "franchise" (not considering age) type player, absolutely.
And he hasn't been considered an "elite QB for most of his career" (as you stated) even by your own standards (4 years bolded above out of the 10 he's been around).
3) By name, Carson had better receivers. Include the OC and the system and it isn't even close in favor of Dandy. Palmer's 8-8 club was not better than the 2010 club Dalton inherited.
Palmer had the highest PFF grade at QB this week. not sure how that works?

Didn't see the play, but I noticed Palmer had his patented pick 6.
