[hebert19]

Does thins mean they will throw their hat into the ring for another young QB...might be a way to score multiple first rounders??

[Mouldsie]

That's terrible.

[hebert19]

its a shame, thats for sure.

The Dlineman that rolled up on him felt awful when it happened...he must have know it was more serious than it looked

[bv]

Man that is horrible news. I hope he can make it back to the way he was playing.

[nehemiah]

he's a righty QB, right? at least it wasn't his plant foot/knee/leg.

hopefully he can make it back.

[BlackRockBills]

That's some sad stuff.

[Mouldsie]

I'm still waiting for that first idiot to show up and say that nobody should feel bad for him if his career is finished.

[CoachC.]

Horrible.

But funny isn't it how the tackle (hit) looked very average, as far as that stuff goes. Yet, some guys get bent like pretzels every play and still come out just fine.

You just can never tell when these things are going to occur.

[bigr]

I'm hoping that Palmer comes back stronger than ever. He was breathing some fresh life to a team that hasn't seen any bright days in 10 years.

[BlackRockBills]

Yeah, I don't know why, but I was kinda hopin the Bengals would make a run this year. Maybe cause they're one of the few teams we beat in 2006.:wink4:

In not like the guy was known for his running ability. Slap a brace on it and he's a pure pocket passer anyway. He'll be back no problem, he'll just have to develope a quicker release.

But if he can barely walk, it's all moot.

This is terrible... that kid is a real talent, and I feel awful for those fans.

[Merk]

That sucks



Hopefully he can make a comeback

[dogginbox]

well....

at least i got a fantasy football championship out of him.

seriously though that sucks for the bengals. they should enquire about rivers.

[M76]

helps the bills in the conference though..

[Sparx]

damn. my Brother called it once it happened.

[Karl]

Man the Bengals fans have got to feel like **** right now. They finally found a franchies QB who got them back into the playoffs and were going to be competitive and now this. I hope Palmer can return to playing in the future.

[shotgun]

this sucks carson is a awesom qb and it tool along time with many # 1 over pick for the bungals to get the right one and this happens .. i hope he come back stronger

[nightowltom]

Why are so many playing taps for Carson? McGahee was hurt worse than Palmer and he seems to be getting around just fine--and Palmer doesn't even have to run to play well.

Palmer had a serious injury but a fixable one. Because shredded ligaments can be replaced with donor tissue now, it's been successfully repaired. If he does his rehab properly you'll see him on the field next year with no ill effects.

As for the surgeon--that's another story. Palmer has to be very annoyed with the way Paulos behaved after the operation--particularly calling a successfully repaired injury potentially career ending. Athletes l-o-v-e hearing that kind of stuff. After working in anonymity for the U.S. Ski Team for several years, he couldn't resist grabbing some limelight with the hope of riding a high profile client to more work and bigger paychecks. I have a feeling it will accomplish just the opposite as most athletes don't like every stich and cut enthusiastically described to the national media where the people who will judge what to pay them and whether to sign them will hear all of this gloom and doom rhetoric.

[The REAL Sabres]

Perhaps everyone missed this... "The damage was much more extensive and severe, but Dr. Lonnie Paulos said surgery went well and Palmer could be back for the start of the season."
