Tell Mike Brown "**** you" and then just walk away.

I can 'kind of' understand how some people think he walked away from them, but I can also admire Palmer for saying "I'm done with this crap, see ya."

I was always on Carson's side. I believe him not coming out and saying why he wanted to be traded is what caused a lot of fans to turn on him. He let it slip during the 2012 media call when we played Oakland. He mentioned ownership before trying to drive the conversation into another direction. He opened up more in 2015 during our game against the Cardinals and then finally opened up on his Football Life special. By that time, the majority of the fan base had turned on him.

I think if he would've said something along the lines of "Ownership and I aren't on the same page of how to improve the team" after the 2010 season, more fans would've accepted his decision.
