Well how exactly are the Bengals getting stronger when Palmer's fate is unknown because of his injury, and Henry is out getting arrested and embarrassing the team.

First off, Palmer's fate is pretty much known, they're just not jumping the gun in case of any setbacks. By the way, he was leading the offense in no huddle drills today, and, in a press conferance, pretty much cleared everything up. Let's assume, just for a second, that he won't be ready, they have Doug Johnson and Anthony Wright at back-up, both are solid QBs.

Second, if every team was embarrassed by a player doing stupid things, about every professional sports team in America would be embarrassed. Marvin will handle it, and it won't be an embarrassment because he probly won't be back.

Bengals are building a defense, run stopping and pass rushing/stopping/coverage, through the draft and free agency. With a defense, even if the offense turns out not as explosive and good, they won't need to be because they're finally going to have a defense that can stop someone.

That's how they're getting stronger.
