I just don't see why people expect Carson Palmer to respond to every comment about the Bengals with "No comment" since he's retired and can do what he wants now.  You don't have to like it, but conclusions that he's trying to destroy the Bengals seem a bit on the "please make us victims" side of things.  Just my take.

Carson is not calling up the media.  They are contacting him because of the connection between him and Burrow both being QBs taken #1 by the Bengals.

And honestly Carson's comments are a lot more restrained than many of the members here.

Where are all the guys who are constantly squealing about how none of the local media will ask Mike or any member of the front office "tough questions"?  They are always calling for more public attention being focused on Mike Browns failures.  Now they say non one is allowed to say anything bad about the Bengals because it might scare Burrow away.

Nately's got it, the latter two do not.

Again, I have absolutely no issue with WHAT he is saying, it's merely the timing of it.

I get Fred's point though, about the fact that he was in the same position, etc. But things are different now than in 2003; who knows how everything could turn out?

Hell, 2011 was different than 2003 and things are definitely not the same as 2011, now.
