A Moral Victory For Palmer in a Surprising Lost for His Team.

Anybody who watched the Bengals @ Browns games, as a Cincinnati fan your probably pissed and for good reason. The Bengals lost to the Brown was maybe the surprise of the day, Nobody gave the Browns a chance to beat the Bengals including me, even though the Bengals has definitely not been playing up to expectation. Early on the blames has mostly been put on the quarterback Carson Palmer, but blaming Carson Palmer has been the thing for the Cincinnati Fans dating all the way back to last year. Today the man you all love to blame, actually got a morale victory out of a hard lost today in Cleveland. Even though Carson Palmer will never admit it publicly, inside the guys must feel that he got some kind of a victory because of the lost to the Browns, not only was it a victory but it was also a day where he should have been able to feel the weight of the city critics lift off his shoulder.Yes it's true that we have not seen the Carson Palmer from 2005, but we also don't have the same football team from 2005. Regardless of what anybody says Carson Palmer is still one of the best QB's in the league, and he is still and always be for as long as he's playing the face of the Cincinnati Bengals franchise. I'm not necessarily here to throw numbers at you, talk about the all the good and bad games or even to write the Carson Palmer story, it's just hard to understand why Carson Palmer is so unappreciated by the very fans that he gave hope to and gave a reason to cheer too. Every year Carson has played the Bengals have made the playoffs, no I'm not saying he's the only person taking the Bengals to the playoff but he obviously make a big differences. Some say but he can't win playoff games, yeah that's true but he's not the only person on the team, he can't win it alone. I know what you thinking, "you just said he takes Bengals to the playoff every year he plays," yes I did, but I didn't say he wins games alone there is a differences. Too many fans appreciate the wrong things. I will never blame a fan, because regardless we as fan can never make a difference between win and lost, but some fans only appreciate the flash, the big mouths, the players who always in front of the camera like the Chad Johnson's of the league. Before I get into Chad and why I used him as an example, I want to make it clear that my reasoning for writing this is only an attempt to help fans be better fans. So many fans only see and know the basic of sports, in this case football. Most fans only know the minimum amount required to know to be a fan like touchdown, first down, pass, run, skill positions, and what i call the big mouths of the league. Many people never played, coach, or been involved with football on a competitive level long enough to understand the "dirty work" of football, like knowing and understand coverages, mismatches, coaches tendencies, personnel match-ups and etc. I think this is the problem with the Cincinnati Bengals fans a.k.a Carson Palmer haters. Cincinnati Bengals fans fail to realize all of the challenges Carson has to try to overcome. Chad Johnson, this guy was a damn good football player, he was a guy who also made a name for himself in the year 2005, but somehow, through all the noise he made at the end of that next year talking about trades, through all the miss camps and practices, through all the noise somehow, some way he is still the fan favorite here. Not only has all these things been a problem for the team, he also has not been good as the Chad from 2005 and seem to be declining every year also not getting any younger. Make no mistake I want Chad to do to good cause i want the Bengals to do good, but he is a problem that Carson Palmer ultimately have to put up with. You also has the bad O-line the Bengals has and the horrible offensive coordinator we have. Carson Palmer is the guy that Fans point the finger at when anything offensively goes wrong, but like my point earlier is that most fans don't understand what's behind the results of the play, they only understand the result. When they see a pass that goes high or or too low it Palmer fault, fans fail to realize that sometimes the pass must be low or high to avoid throwing a interception and be placed only where the WR can catch it, or they fail to see that there is somebody in his face every time he drop back.Cincinnati Bengals fans/ Carson Palmer haters don't understand because the play calling is so predictable it makes it hard for Carson to throw against 7 man coverage when you throwing out of a 2 or 3 receiver set, don't let me lose you. When the ball is thrown where nobody seems to be, first thing you like to say is "where was he throwing that ball?" Not understanding that the Receiver ran the wrong route and that where the ball went is where the receiver pose to be. I'm not a Chad fan, and I'm not a Chad hater, I just find it pretty amazing that when Carson mess up or fans think he messed up, everybody wants his neck, facebook is going crazy with haters saying "our QB suck", "get rid of Carson"' "whats wrong with him" and many more. Hey but when Chad F up, drop a ball, or even T.O. this year everything OK and some still may put the blame on Carson, "that was a bad pass"' "he's putting where he can get killed". How about today???? Today was a great day for Carson Palmer. Carson Palmer was the only reason the Bengals even had a chance, and sorry Bengals fans Chad was ultimately the reason we loss that chances to win. When Benson fumble, it was OK, when the field goal was blocked, nobody saw Polland being pushed on his ass so that also was OK, but when shipley was knocked out, o yea that was Carson fault, and the last drive that was going 85 yards, was cut short at 50 when, yes Cincinnati's favorite, clearly pulled the Browns corner back on the ground on a 3rd down play that a partially blind man could have saw. It was a penalty that moved us back 10 yards and out of field goal range and ultimately blew whatever chance we had to get either a field goal or touchdown. You Cincinnati Bengals fan better remember where you was before Carson Palmer. You Cincinnati Bengals fan better seriously think about where you would be without Carson Palmer, and remember what happen in 08 when he went out in week 2. You Cincinnati Bengals fans better start to appreciate what you got in Carson Palmer and give the man the respect he's EARNED! You Cincinnati Bengals fans better realize who made your favorite Chad, and who Chad was without Carson Palmer, and who he will be without Carson. As for Chad, you Cincinnati fans better find a new favorite cause Chad is in the last year and he's not likely to be coming back, then will see what he is without Carson. You have to respect a man who gave you reason to cheer, gave you a reason to buy a ticket to a game, gave you a reason to look forward to NFL football season, gave you a reason to wear your Bengals gear, allowed you to be able to buy your Chad jerseys and shirts, allow you to be able to sit in front of your TV and watch all home games and avoid blackouts,yeah Chad by a mass amount of tickets when it's close to a sell out but Carson is the reason it's even close, he allow you to be able to watch Chad on TV and allow you to hear silly thing and be entertained by Chad Johnson. Carson made all this possible for you, what have you done for him? wait don't answer just yet 2 more questions. Ask yourself What was we before Carson arrived? I don't think you have to think to hard to figure out the answer to that. Then be honest with yourself, if he's out, let go, and replaced by any QB in the draft next year, honestly as yourself what will we be without him?
