Will Burrow have Carson Syndrome?

I don't think many of you are remembering what happened with Palmer.

Many people claimed there was no way Palmer would be back to start the '06 season.  Or that if he did return it would not be close to his '05 form.  But Palmer busted his ass in rehab and started '06 just where he left off in '05.  352 yards and 2 tds in the second game of the season.  Net week he throws 4 tds as we beat the Steelers on their home field.  The O-line fell apart around him.  Braham had a career ending injury in the second week of the season.  Levi Jones only played 6 games.  Bobbie Williams missed 3 games.  Palmer was sacked almost twice as many times in '06 (36) as he was in '05 (19).  but his performance was almost identical

Palmer was not playing scared in 2006.  He was actually playing tougher than he had to in '05.


Also in 2008 Palmer tore a ligament in his elbow, sat out one game, played against the Eagles with a torn ligament in his elbow before deciding he needed surgery.

OSU fans hate him, and I think a lot of midwest types tried to paint him a a soft surfer dude, but Palmer was damn tough,
