Voltaire Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) My first reaction was ... what? I thought he was locked up in Minnesota. As it turns out it, it's not Brad, it was that a$$clown that wrecked the Falcons season a few years back when Ron Mexico's alter ego got hurt. Sorry Cincy fans, apparently he's not going to be the hawking peanuts in section 34B. Mike Brown is reverting to form. And with Jon Kitna a free agent, allow this Lions fan to welcome you back to the cellar unless Carson Palmer's knee rehabbing is a huge offseason success. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/scorecard/nf...rticleID=156316 Edited February 8, 2006 by Voltaire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 This injury should make the Bengals very active in trying to sign Kitna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 This injury should make the Bengals very active in trying to sign Kitna. 1312540[/snapback] you would think so, but i get the sense that he will not be back. not basing this on too much, just speculation.

Doc Holliday Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) This injury should make the Bengals very active in trying to sign Kitna. 1312540[/snapback] I think Kitna will start somewhere next year, and I think he only resigns with the Bengels if he knows he will start. I think that means he leaves, wish my Lions would go for him. Edited February 8, 2006 by Doc Holliday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Irish Doggy Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 The only reason to sign a vet is if Kitna is leaving. He's said before that he's one of the top 32 QBs in the league and should be starting. I guess he plans to see if that is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Oh wait, now I see your point) 1312668[/snapback] Well, we have Joey. Garcia was brought in my Marriucci on a one year contract. His chance of being a Lion next year is even less than Owens chance of being an Eagle (because Owens at least is still under contract in Philly, whereas Garcia is an UFA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengal Mania Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Mike Brown is reverting to form. And with Jon Kitna a free agent, allow this Lions fan to welcome you back to the cellar unless Carson Palmer's knee rehabbing is a huge offseason success. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/scorecard/nf...rticleID=156316 1312507[/snapback] Boy, this is stupid. The Bengals need 4 QBs for offseason/camp, that means at least 3 besides Palmer, maybe 4. Before this signing, they only have Krenzel for sure. Johnson was one body w/ some experience, it doesn't mean they aren't going after another QB. Kitna may be the prime target (should be, I guess). But since he wants to test the market, they are going to look elsewhere too. "Mike Brown is back to form." - Did you just copy a post from 4 years ago? Those days are gone, dude. Speak about something you know about, like how bad the Lions are. "....welcome you back to the cellar..." - Sorry, Charlie, wrong again. You think because they signed Johnson as one of two short-term QBs, they are going to go back to the being the worst team in the NFL? Like I said, pretty stupid. The Bengals will only (IMO) chase a "short-term" solution, and not a "what-if-we-need-it" long-term solution, that would cost too much. If Palmer is out longer,t hey have to regroup anyway (if his career were to be over, its lights out anyway). But they aren't gonna sell the farm to to overpay for a QB who may only play a couple games (or not at all). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bengals are in people's heads for the first time in a couple of decades. Heck, I even saw Skip Bayless yesterday while I was at the gym predict the bengals to be one of the top six Super Bowl threats next year ... top 5 if TO goes to Denver to ruin that team.

Menudo Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) I'm honestly hoping that Carson Palmer's knee is o.k., because I have a lot more respect for the Bengals organization than the Ravens and Browns and am looking forward to many great Steelers - Bengals battles in our near future. P.S. Cowher isn't stealing your chant, he is simply mocking you guys, which shows that yes, your team has arrived.

My thinking was "this teams needs a proven backup QB in a big way and is who they get". Now that I think about it, Johnson is likely just training camp fodder since, like you say, they don't need a 4th QB but they can use a warm body. I would think he comes dirt cheap and the Bengals can still go after a real backup. I still do think Mike Brown is a complete idiot though and awful for that franchise. He's taken enough abuse over the years though and the 2006 offseason isn't exactly the best time to b*tch about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took him WAAAAY to long to finally 'get it', but I think he finally has. He, to his credit, has never stepped into the spotlight to try and claim any credit for success now that it's here. To me, for all the abuse he has taken, much but not all of it justified, that is impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Misfit Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Forgiven - partlyForgotten - mostly 1313595[/snapback] Well, and I think there's still some legit question in people's minds about how much he's actually running the team now. And I don't mean Marvin ... I mean his daughter, Katie. I have no idea of the truth of it, but I still hear the rumor that Marvin was Katie's choice, while Tom Coughlin was Mike's choice. Katie won, it's proved to have been the right decision, and he's just stayed out of it since ... If for no other reason, I think Bengals fans will always hate Mike for Dave Shula, among other things. There was just no excuse for many of his decisions except to maximize profit at the expense of fielding a real pro football team. Which fits with his personality, since he's a multi-millionaire lawyer who drives a 15-year-old Volvo and thinks air conditioning is a waste of money. Shame it took him so long to learn that winning brings you money, too ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonorator Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 kitna needs to go. he's a great person, but not a great quarterback. his time has passed the team is limited with him on the field. if carson can't go, we need another option, and i don't believe it is doug johnson.
