Telling quote from Carson Palmer

In all fairness in the 4 years since Carson left he's only been on a non-competitive team once and that was because the spawn of Al Davis decided to blow things up rather than give Hue and Palmer a whole year to make it work.

Carson is actually in a place now, and was in 2013 and 2014 where the general consensus was that his team can make a legit Super Bowl push IF he stays on the field, so it's not like he's battling Geno Smith or EJ Manuel for a temporary starting gig and grasping at paychecks while he runs out the clock on his career.

If anything I'd say the fact that the Bengals couldn't be post-season relevant with Dalton and Palmer, two QBs that would generate a decent amount of interest with a number of teams for the past 11 years is more of a knock on Mike and Marvin than anything else.
