“Man, I enjoy watching him play. He’s been spectacular … I had high expectations for him like everybody has and through four weeks I think he’s exceeded those expectations and played better than anyone had hoped,” Palmer told the team’s official website.
Palmer further spoke about how the Bengals have some promising young talent on their roster.
“The future is bright. You’ve got the two Joes and (wide receivers) Tee and (Tyler) Boyd and A.J (Green) and the young left tackle from Alabama. You’ve got Geno (Atkins) who is still a great leader and hopefully he’s back soon.”
