It was Palmer’s left knee, same as Burrow. It’s not stepping through and transferring weight into your front leg that causes a QB to throw high, because they try to do it all with their arm, but it’s the stepping forward and transfer of weight that allows a QB to drive the football with velocity.

We just saw Roethlisberger doing this against us. He hurt his left knee mid season and he wouldn’t follow through on passes, so their whole offense became dink and dunk. Anytime he tried to go downfield, the ball sailed and was easy to for DB’s to get to.

I did not remember that Palmer dislocated his Patella.  According to Paulos; Palmer's surgeon, his MCL was grade 3 and really bad as well.  I also forget the 2006 injury and Palmer's 2014 injury was the same leg, I thought they were different knee injuries.  

Paulos: "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.


On the good note, medical field has progressed significant since Palmer's first knee injury.  Hopefully Burrow feels comfortable behind the Bengal OL.
