He threatened to retire and when they called his bluff he did. Then they decided to trade him so he unretired. And once again it sounds like it could be happening again in Cincinnati.He was in the last year of his deal and retired instead of playing.
Palmer was a douche as much as Cincinnati was being cheap.
And again, he sucked with the Raiders and appeared washed.
Cincy made out huge with that deal
Lotsa guys suck with the Raiders so that's not a newsflash.
But with Arizona he played well.
#8 in passing yds / 2013
#12 in TDs / 2013
#11 in comp % / 2013
10-6 but no playoffs
In 2015:
#4 in yds
#2 in TDs
#3 in QB rating
11-5 beat Green Bay in OT, lost to Carolina.
I don't know the guy....he could be an asshole....he certainly has Hue Jackson to thank for playing another 7 years.....but I don't see how those two performances could be labeled anything but damn good. Besides, this was not a comparison of Joe Burrow and Carson Palmer. It was all about Cincinnati being a cheap, poorly run franchise for the last 35 years or so. Just wanted to remind folks, Burrow.....if he demands a trade.....isn't the first Bengal QB to do so.
