That is truly laughable. How do you make that type of BS statement? Based on what? CP telling this turd of a owner to kiss his ass? His ability to return from serious injuries? His ability to shoulder the blame for diva receivers and poor coaching, time and time again? The statements of his strong leadership by the likes of Larry Fitz and other HOF’ers? Who has ever said AD is “strong” or a leader. Of all the Bengals quarterbacks you mentioned earlier in the post AD gets rattled the quickest and Melts under the pressure quicker than any of them.
AD has had the advantage of the strongest roster top the bottom of ANY Bengals quarterback of all time. He has done nothing with it when it is nut cutting time.
BTW this is the all things AD thread...just saying
You're the one who steered this towards a Palmer discussion.
Palmer was a soft Cali boy. Always whining about his receivers to deflect blame from himself. Remember how he used to throw his arms up after an INT, looking at Chad? He's done the same crap in both Oakland and AZ. It's always someone else's fault. Sorry if I don't view his laundry list of injuries as proof of his "toughness". Dalton has taken far more of a beating and continually gets back up. If you don't think he's fighting his way through any injuries, you're fooling yourself.
I loved Palmer. Still hold him in high regard, but the way he's held on a pedestal by the same folks who have their pitchforks out for Andy is ridiculous. Talk about two different standards.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
