Question
I have 3 questions. 1)Based on his performance in college and in the first few years of his NFL career, do you think Carson Palmer will be able to return to the Pro Bowl next year? 2) What will the Bengals have to do to make the playoffs next year, and do you think they will make it? 3) How do you feel about Chad Johnson's touchdown celebrations? thanks

Answer
Hi Nick,

Palmer will need help to return to the Pro Bowl. The Bengals need to find a clear cut #1 RB, get better play from the OL, a solid pass-catching TE and a happy Chad Johnson. And with Brady, Manning and Roethlisberger, he needs to cut down the INTs to get some votes

If the Bengals are to make the playoffs, they need a major upgrade on the front 7. They have to strike it rich in the first few rounds and they may get help if Thurman is re-instated and Pollack comes back 100% (although I doubt it, he's a bust of Dan Morgan proportions)

Chad needs to hand the ball off to the refs when he scores TD. I think he's a goner if the rumors that he wants to be traded to Miami are true
