"Carson Palmer's knee injury was "devastating and potentially career-ending," involving numerous ligament tears, a shredded ligament, damaged cartilage and a dislocated kneecap, his surgeon said Thursday."

...and again, Carson's happened much later in the season, and surgery wasn't as advanced 15 years ago. Not to mention the dude had a ligament from a cadaver in his leg. Yeah I think it's safe to say Palmer's knee injury was worse in just about every way.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
