It was pointed out to me that this was what Palmer was doing, and I let go of the grudge. It's just not a personal thing like I made it out to be.

I still hate him because he is a non-Bengal, but not really much more than any other non-Bengals.

It never bothered me when he quit. I'd made my mind up during the 2010 season that the Bengals were better off going in a different direction at QB. So when CP demanded a trade, it was almost a sigh of relief for me. I actually respect Palmer more if he actually was standing up to Mike.

The only reason I might look anti-Palmer at times is because it irks me that some still pine after the guy. Palmer was paid like an elite QB and he never was after 2005. So in my view, he was as much to blame for the team's struggles as anyone else. I'm glad he's finally found his old mojo 10 years later (with a genius HC), but I'm pretty happy with where we're at - compared to where I think we'd be with Palmer.

We needed some new blood and we certainly weren't getting it in the form of a new GM or HC.
