Palmer Knee Injury
The 2014-2018 1st round Draft Run
And the most crippling; Drafting and Starting Andy Dalton for 9 years like he was a Franchise QB, when he was a backup.
Palmer's knee injury was over 15 years ago, and Dalton was certainly starter level his entire stay in Cincy.
As to the drafts, the 2015 draft was especially crippling.
