Palmer

CBS Sportsline’s Pete Prisco is out with his annual Top 50 NFL Players list, and the Bengals have two players on the list, – Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson. Here is the breakdown on the pair:

8. Carson Palmer, QB, Cincinnati Bengals: After Brady and Manning he’s the third-best quarterback. The Bengals need to run it a little better to take the heat off him.

28. Chad Johnson, WR, Cincinnati Bengals: He isn’t nearly as good as he thinks he is. But he’s still pretty damn good. He does have a tendency to disappear in big games.
