I guarantee that everyone here would leave their job if they hated it and were financially secure. The ones criticizing Palmer for doing it are just hypocrites.
I have a lot more respect for Palmer giving up the money when he walked away instead of coming back to the bengals nad half-assing it just to collect a paycheck.

This, times 1000. He literally said "I will pass on $50 million rather than continue to work for Mike Brown". As Fred says, he could have come back, played half heartedly, and collected his money. He did not "quit" right before the draft, during training camp, or even the season. He gave the organization plenty of notice so they could prepare for life after his departure.
As others have said, "how many people on this board begged for someone to challenge Mike Brown"? It was not Carson's "responsibility" to improve this franchise. That was Brown and Lewis' responsibility, Brown's. Carson was simply an employee, an employee who no longer wanted to work for the Brown family. If any of us were in a job that we did not like, we would simply find another.
