Anyway, I was a huge Palmer fan when he was here. That high flying offense with him and Chad helped get me back into football after not caring about it for years . I’ll always have mixed feelings on how things went down when he left though. On one hand I don’t really blame him, but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t piss me off.

I don't begrudge anyone who got pissed as him for leaving the way he did.  I didn't get terribly miffed about it because the idea of any QB wanting to spend his entire 14 year NFL career playing for Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis seemed absurd.  Palmer knew Marvin was a two decade-long lame duck set for life here and here we are 7 years later getting hit with the truth.

Is it odd how Palmer demanding a trade got such big attention?  Does anyone even remember that Sam Bradford demanded a trade from the Eagles before they sent him to the Vikings?  Anyways, the Palmer wanting out thing was made into bigger news that it should have been because the media loves to tell everyone what a hell hole this franchise is, and we're running out of snappy comebacks to those accusations.

With that being said, I'm one of the "less upset Marvin is back" guys in these parts.  Accept the inevitable.
