If the Bengals are still a sub .500 team, after year 5 of Burrows career, I'll almost guarantee you he is going to really want out like Palmer did because he wants to win.
Burrow could walk into the Bengals facility and take control because he'd just won a National Title, and Heisman. Everyone knew Burrow was the starting QB in his first year. Who else were they going to start Brandon Allen? Where as when Palmer was drafted Jon Kitna was a pretty damn serviceable QB. So everyone knew that Kitna was starting in 2003. Hard to walk in and command respect and take complete control of a team when it was determined by management and the FO that you were riding the pine in 2003.
So I'd say you're looking at 2 totally different situation.
