Arkansas Bengal Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Carson Palmer knew immediately he had torn his ACL Posted by Darin Gantt on November 10, 2014, 2:47 PM EST AP Because he’s rehabbed a previous devastating knee injury, Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer has a frame of reference. So while the team waited a day to confirm the news of his torn ACL via an MRI, he didn’t need it. Palmer told reporters today that he “felt a pop,” and knew immediately his season was over as he was being carted off yesterday. The 34-year-old quarterback also admitted the frustration of losing a chance to lead a team to the playoffs, as the Cardinals are 8-1 and could control home field advantage all the way to the Super Bowl if they keep it up. He said the “toughest part is that I’m having more fun now than I’ve ever had in my career,” and that this was the best team he had been a part of. Palmer said he “cried like a baby,” last night, the first time he had wept since learning the news of the death of former teammate Chris Henry. But at the same time, he’s also aware of the business implications of what happened to him yesterday. Though he just signed a three-year contract extension with the team last week, he also knows this injury could compromise that. “I’m going to play football again. I hope it is here,” he said. “I just know how this business works. The team will do what is best for them. They should. Hope I’m part of it.” Having been around so long, that awareness of the uncertainty has to hurt as much as his knee at the moment. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/11/10/carson-palmer-knew-immediately-he-had-torn-his-acl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the dude for the way he left Cincy... But I don't wish that kind of stuff on anyone (since Hines retired) Tough break for Arizona..they were on fire and Carson was ballin this year...

The PatternMaster Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 The word shadenfreude immediately comes to mind. You are being weird about this, why are you taking pleasure in this guy's misfortune? You don't know why Carson left so to hold a personal grudge against someone you don't know for making a business decision that was in the best interest of his family is just weird. You act like Carson punched your mom in the face, like he personally wronged you, when he didn't. He just decided he didn't want to play for the Bengals anymore, like many other players in the past..i.e. Corey Dillon, Takeo Spikes, etc.. Get over it, if you are Bengals fan you should happy because the Bengals got a great deal for Carson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Blake Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I believe that had Carson not been injured in 2005 the Bengals would have at least won a couple playoff games by now. I am also convinced they would have beaten the Stealers that day. He was playing well in AZ no doubt. Dude is just snakebit. I wasn't a big fan the last few years of his tenure but there's no denying Palmer has been a legit NFL QB and maybe this was his year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randle P McMurphy Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Sucks for him. The timing for him signing that contract extension couldn't have been better though. Not that he was in the poor house. I wouldn't have minded to see what he could do in the playoffs though just out of curiosity. Hate to see that happen to anyone. I didn't see any of the games where Drew Stanton came in for him but apparently they didn't skip a beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get over it, if you are Bengals fan you should happy because the Bengals got a great deal for Carson. FWIW I don't put Palmer in the same group as Dillon or Spikes or Housh or nearly anyone else you might care to mention. Rather, I put him and only him in the same small group as Chad. As for taking pleasure in his misfortune, IMHO it's not much different than when Palmer returned to Cincy as the Raiders QB and got hit so often welts covered his body. I laughed my ass off that day, as most Bengal fans did, and I'm laughing this morning knowing Palmer's season is over and quite possibly his career. To be fair, I do feel bad for Cardinal fans and I think Bruce Arians is a fine coach who deserves better. But those feelings simply aren't as strong as those I have for Palmer, and as a result I get to laugh while he cries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 He was playing well in AZ no doubt. I'll give him this. He made a great tackle on Alec Ogletree's interception, thereby preventing a pick 6 that had become his trademark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron~Popeil Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I was kind of following his performances in AZ. I am over the bitterness of his departure and can honestly say I hope his rehab goes well. To laugh at something like this is kind of sub human.

BengalBacker Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I'm sorta with HOF on this, except I didn't laugh about his injury. I'd rather see him on the field throwing pick sixes than go down with an injury, much more humiliating to suck than to get hurt. I still, and always will say fuck him and fuck Chad. That's what they said to us fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some really stupid people in this thread who don't seem to remember how Andy Dalton became the Bengals starting QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
