It didn't help Cinci's defense that up and coming Odell Thurman had/has drug problems, and 1st round pick David Pollack broke his neck.
We keep referencing Palmer's lack of post-season wins...even though the only chance he got, he was knocked out of the game on the second play.
All in all I think he is good, but Ben is better. Like Jom said, no need to tear down Palmer just to validate Ben. His numbers speak for themselves.
