Still think that knee injury took a toll on his career. I'm gonna miss him....No I really am and so will the seahawks defence. Now they mite get someone decent.
I dont think Steelers even win that game if he doesnt get hurt. Steelers snuck in as a 6th seed and Bengals were the 3rd seed and even with Palmer getting injured were up 10-0 at one point. I wonder how different things would be if that one thing didnt happen...we wouldnt of faced the Steelers that year
My uncle, who I'm very close to, is a
massive Bengals fan. I have actually been to more Bengals games than Seahawks games as a result of living close to Baltimore for divisional match-ups. Even have an old Peter Warrick jersey.
I usually would watch the Bengals play at 1 PM EST, and the Seahawks at 4 PM EST.
Carson had a magic about him in his early Bengals career. He was quickly rising to stardom, and was widely considered a top-5 quarterback at the time of his devastating knee injury. After the injury, he just wasn't the same. He lost "it." The season after the injury was remarkable in the sense that he came back and performed pretty well less than a year after a truly catastrophic knee explosion, but he wasn't the same dominant and effortless specimen. The elbow wearing down in 2008 did him in. He wasn't the same QB anymore.
When Carson hit his stride, he
hit it. I still judge the arm talent of new quarterbacks by comparing them to the effortlessly booming and pin-point accurate arm of pre-injury Carson Palmer. I have no doubt that if Kemo von Oelhoffen's fat Steeler ass didn't roll into Palmer's knee and twist it, he would've had a very different career.
