“As far as being close to a playoff team, it’s more than that,” Palmer said, via Steve Corkran of the Bay Area News Group. “We’re close to a championship team. There’s a lot of work that needs to be put in and a lot of hurdles that we need to get over, but we need to be heading into this season thinking more than just playoffs.”

 

Carson Palmer: We’re close to a championship team | ProFootballTalk

 

I don't agree, I think they have an issue at QB.

 

Where is futurecoach? This thread is right in his wheel house.

 

I think I intimidate him...

 

Here I am . It's been a long day and I just saw this. I don't know if they are a Championship team, if anything they kind of remind me of the 2005 and 2006 Cincinnati teams. They should be really good on offense, but a bad defense. They had a horrible defense last year.

 

As for Palmer this is a make or break year for his career IMO. He will now actually have an off season with them, and be training to play football instead of sitting on the couch. I think they will be a very tough team to beat, and I do think Carson will have a good year. Especially if they keep both running backs. He never got the chance to play with McFadden and McFadden is the sole reason why Campbell looked decent in that offense, he had McFadden making huge plays. It will be interesting to see how they do, and I can't wait to be at the game when Carson comes back.

He may hold some sort of record for most make or break seasons.

What other years were make or break for him? 2009 he led team to the playoffs, so 2010 was no make or break year for him it was a bad year. Which also was the first year the team sucked with him starting. Just because Cincinnati fans in all sports are quick to say a guy sucks after a guy does bad, doesn't mean any year was a make or break year for him? Shoot this Reds team that everyone is excited about, wouldn't have half the players if management got rid of them when they struggled. There was no reason to think he would have a very good year for the Raiders last year. He had good moments, and also plenty of bad moments too. If he struggles next year with a mediocre year then yeah his career as a starter is probably going to be over. Up until this coming year, that was not going to be the case.

How would Carson Palmer have any idea what a pro football championship team is like? He doesn't even know what a playoff winning football team is like...

Bush can leave and I think he will.

I would like to see Bush in Cincy.

 

Me too, I believe he would be a great fit for the Bengals.

I don't know who's kool aid Carson is drinking, but I'm definitely not. Oakland MAY make the playoffs next season, and that's a big may.

He might, but I'm guessing he has a great game against his former team...

Umm ... all of them? He did play in Cincy forever, after all.
