Man oh man. You would really take Carson Palmer over Ben Roethlisberger. Big Ben had a very solid year last season, throwing 32 TD's to just 11 INT's while posting a 104.1 QB rating. Very impressive numbers. Palmer had a mediocre year, throwing 26 touchdowns and a whopping 20 interceptions, while posting a pedestrian 86.7 QB rating.

Theres also a reason as to why I left Chad cancer Johnson off of my team. He's just a big crybaby that brings dysfunction to the Bengals locker room. Truth is, Johnson wasn't even the best receiver on his own team. Johnson had 93 receptions and 8 touchdowns, very respectable numbers. However Houshmandzadeh tied for the league lead in catches with 112, while also catching 12 touchdowns.



On to the D, where we both chose Ravens at DE. Only you chose a 32 year old in Trevor Pryce who is on the decline who played in only 5 games last season. I chose Haloti Ngata, who has been in the league for only two years, and had a nice season in 07 posting 63 tackles and 3 sacks. The first round pick will continue to get better throughout his career.

I have run out of room, more arguments to come in round 3

Are you serious? You think Chad Johnsons stunts are helpful to the Bengals? First off, you must not follow sports very deeply if youve never heard of the term locker room cancer. Several players in sports history have been called such a thing, players like John Rocker, Barry Bonds, Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson, Randy Moss, T O, etc. I never once said Palmer had anything to do with the Bengals problems, I was just making my arguments as of why Ben Roethlisberger is the better QB.

Anyways, lets step away from the set of Oprah and start talking about sports again

At linebacking spot, Harrison and McGinest aren't even close. You say experience is important, but McGinest is 36 years old. Thats called being past your prime. McGinest racked up a total of 30 tackles last season. 30! He sacked the QB 3 times as well. Harrison was the driving force behind the Steel crews linebackers. He had a great season in 07 with 98 tackles and 8.5 sacks. He more than tripled McGinests numbers in tackles and almost tripled him in sacks, not to mention he is 7 years younger.

I'm running out of room so I have to cut to the with my last argument

Cribbs 2 TD 1809 yd 30.7 avg

Figurs 1 TD 1138 yd 24.7 avg
