Anyways, it's hard to judge a QB who spends his prime years in Cincy or Detroit or a few other cities.  Thems the breaks.  But it really comes down to what makes you think Palmer underachieved.  What do you expect a QB to do under Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis?

You really like that butthurt word, don't you?  

You're bringing up a playoff game he won for another team?  Who the hell cares?

Yes, of course he underachieved.  He was massively talented but never got better.  As a Bengal, his playoff performance that lost me as a fan was the utter debacle, the giant egg he laid in '09.  After that, I was done with him.

If it was so terrible here, why did he take the evil villain's big bundle of money to stay?  Would have been the perfect time to get out.  Hmm.  a head scratcher.
