I think that after 6 years of Andy Dalton, with the talent that has been around we have not got it done we will not with him. I was more than willing to give him 3 years after this year if we made the playoffs again but we did not.
Carson was 35 last year and coming off the best season of his career. He folded like a lawn chair. Fwiw, I see Palmer and Dalton as equals. Palmer had a better arm, Dalton more athleticism and mastery of the offense. Palmer had to wear a wristband with plays. Palmer threw a better spiral, Dalton is less prone to turnovers. The numbers overall are extremely similar, which proves there's more than one way to get it done.
The Bengals managed to break both.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
