Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted October 26, 2004 I think Palmer is a better athlete than Kitna, and he's done a fair job actually, considering this is his first year and all. Everyone can't be Ben Roethlisberger, you know. Cincinnati's problems are due to lack of run defense (worst in the NFL, even worse than Green Bay!) and a running game. Rudi Johnson doesn't seem to have done much, and I don't think I've heard anything about Chris Perry running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MikeSC Report post Posted October 26, 2004 Roethlisberger also has a lot of receiving talent that isn't available to Palmer. Kitna took the same receiving talent and made it work. Palmer has turned the Bengals back into...well, the Bengals. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snuffbox 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2004 Vitamin X, I wasn't comparing Favre to Jeter on a personal level, I was comparing the media's treatment of Jeter to their treatment of Favre. Favre is a likebale guy and busts his ass. It's hard not to like the guy. But he clearly isn't the player he once was (and there is nothing wrong with that, it happens to all players), but to ESPN and FOX, he still plays like Joe Montana in his prime. Yes, it's just that ESPN (and FOX) just latches on to guys and won't let go, and it can get annoying as hell. Favre is in the top 5 for attempts, completions, yards, touchdowns, and first downs. 7 starting quaterbacks have more intercepetions, 3 are tied for him. He is still the leader of GB's offense(especially with Ahman Green struggling). I dont think hes really dropped too far from his prime... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Shadow Behind You Report post Posted October 26, 2004 The Bengals really should try to book Primetime games more often. 2-0 this season. So they will finish 2-14. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give Carson Palmer some time. And until he plays some defense, you cannot heap all of the blame on Palmer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
