The 1st overall pick, can't miss kid going to a franchise people are fond of frowning on getting injured in his first year is pretty newsworthy. Keep in mind that Palmer was a starting QB for 13 years and had some very good seasons dispersed throughout, but it's common to hear people sum up his career as "Was a great prospect, played well, hurt his knee early, was never the same."
Hell, sometimes Bengals fans who supposedly lived through the post injury Palmer age have to be convinced he was good after his ACL tear. It's easy to freak out as a fan right now regarding Burrow and the general NFL populace sharpening their knives doesn't help. So it goes.
Carson had a really good year following the injury, but then had a pretty rough 6 year stretch. He turned things around once he got to Arizona though. I think a lot of people remember the '07-'12 Palmer with the Bengals and Raiders...where he lost a lot of games and was very average statistically.
