They were probably about the same all things considered.

Where did you go to med school again to decipher that they are both "about the same"?

(08-21-2021, 07:21 PM)Big_Ern Wrote: So by your own logic, If Palmer's was worse, 2 months later and less sophisticated surgeries, it wasn't worse.  Because if the season started 2 months ago, Joe wouldn't be ready.  Case closed.  CheckMate

(08-21-2021, 07:27 PM)Big_Ern Wrote: Maybe over your head, but the timeline of things proves Burrow's was worse.  

(08-21-2021, 07:41 PM)Shake n Blake Wrote: Right...

So because Burrow has taken 2+ months longer to come back, that alone proves that his injury was worse. Not that he's slower to heal, or CP rehabbed more vigorously, or that Mike Brown is holding Burrow back. Intriguing. Thanks for showing me the light.

Fwiw, I dug up this story that was written shortly after he got hurt: https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=2290239 and took the liberty of pulling some quotes...

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.

"It's not just like it was a torn ACL," Paulos said Thursday, in a phone interview from Houston. "It's a magnitude more difficult to recover from and repair. It can and has ended careers, without a doubt.

Paulos, an orthopedic surgeon who has worked with the U.S. Ski Team since 1983, replaced the anterior cruciate ligament, which runs through the middle of the knee and provides stability. He said the medial collateral ligament, which runs along the side of the knee, was damaged "real bad."

"On a scale of one to three, it was a four," he said. "It was off the chart. It was pretty badly damaged -- shredded is the better term."

The kneecap dislocated when Palmer was hit, damaging tissue around it. There was also some cartilage damage, he said.

I'm just speculating, because message board.


I debated a lot of people on what Carson's legacy should be, or how truly "great" he was as a player, but one thing I give him props for is the rehab from that injury. He threw himself into that 110% and I was amazed that he was back without missing a beat one year later.

...and I hate to be a stickler dik, but I definitely think CP's injury was a bit worse. That's not to say Joe's wasn't a huge injury as well.

(08-22-2021, 01:52 AM)Big_Ern Wrote: As was Joe's. Joe had a worse injury or at least the same. And Joe is going to be a better qb than Carson and take us places Carson the quitter never could. Carson wasn't running offensive meetings his second year. No idea why you're bringing up that quitter now but eff him. Who cares about him anymore. Joe is the truth. Carson was a talented QB, maybe more talented than Joe but not a culture changer. Joe is.

That the locker room would instantly get behind him. He’s just a natural leader. It was evident when they made him a captain as a rookie, and him running offensive meetings as just a second year player speaks volumes about Joe. Like this article says, that’s stuff the vets like Brady and Rodgers do.

Btw, does anyone else read this…

The coaching staff has been letting Burrow run some of the offensive meetings with skill players. “So it’s ‘Hey Ja’Marr, I don’t see this, I don’t like the way you ran that, I need you to run it at this depth and this angle so I know exactly when you’re going to come out.’ So him having those conversations of what he expects is far more powerful than any conversation I’m going to have in front of them,” Callahan said. “The more ownership we can give Joe the better. “

And wonder this (about Callahan)…




As for you and Shake’s debate on Palmer vs Burrow, I won’t weigh in on which guy had the worse injury, or worked harder to get back, because I think they both deserve all the credit in the world. I will say you are right that Palmer was more talented (it’s really not even that close), but Burrow is just…different. It’s not the size or the big arm with him. It’s the intangibles.
