Maybe this makes me sound overly sensitive, but **** it.
My issue isn't with WHAT Palmer is saying. Taking at face value, he makes a perfectly fair point. My issue is that he is saying this NOW, literally two days before the Bengals play the most important game in franchise history. If there was ever a time to speculate on Burrow's future with the team after his rookie deal is up, this sure as **** isn't it. He came back from a devastating injury and led the team to a Super Bowl appearance against all odds. The city is in an absolute frenzy. Read the ***** room, man.
Congratulate the team and the city, wish Joe Burrow all the best, and leave it at that for now. Any discussion about what Burrow might do after his rookie deal sounds like unnecessary projection on Palmer's part. At the very least wait until the off season to have this discussion. But two days before the Super Bowl? Come on.

Everything in this post is my fault.
