Palmer's Knee Injury Career-threatening

ESPNews reports Cincinnati Bengals QB Carson Palmer (knee) received news from the surgeon who operated on his knee, Dr. Lonnie Paulos of Houston, that his injury is much more severe than originally noted. In fact, Dr. Paulos stated the injury is career-threatening.

If Palmer doesn't come back 100%, this is going to kill the Bengals, because they just gave him a massive contract extension.

Check out that AP story on it.

Sounds like the surgeon is tooting his own horn, to be honest.

Holy **** my favorite team. Well I hope Steelers feel good they aren't gonna beat Indianapolis.

If Pallmer leaves the Bengals are out of the picture until they find another good qb cause lets face it john kitna can't cut it.

It's not the Steelers fault, Palmer's injury was absolutely accidental. And either way John Kitna played just as well as Palmer was and the Steelers kicked their ass anyways. You think the Steelers aren't gonna beat Indy? I'd bet money that they will win. You'll see. Steelers will defeat Chicago in the superbowl, bwhahaha!

Yeah I feel sorry for the guy, on the upside, with modern medicine the way it is and the fact he was not a great mobile quarterback anyway, so he will not be running around if he can come back he will not have really lost mobility since he did not really run around much, compared to Vick

i thought contracts weren't guaranteed in the NFL? so like, the bengals won't have to pay palmer if he doesn't play? can someone explain to me?

I live in Newport, Kentucky. I'm right across from the river from Cincinnati

The doctor hasn't actually said that this is the end for Palmer. He said these types of injuries are known for ending careers and that Palmers injury isn't as bad as people are making it out to be. He said some good rehab and he should be fine.

I just heard that on the news earlier today and it was from the doctor himself calling into the station over the phone.

I bet if Palmer didn't get injured the Bengals would have won that game or at least played a lot better. Kitna isn't a very good QB, Palmer isn't as great as he's made out to be, but he's a lot better than Kitna.

Considering I have torn my ACL and partially torn my MCL from playing sports all at once, all I can say is Carson is up for one hell of a challenge. The first weeks after surgery are hell and rehab will be hell itself. I feel bad for the guy :/

Contracts are not guaranteed, but signing bonus is. If a player is injured, the team can either keep him and pay him his salary, or release him. However, if he is released, the team takes a "cap hit", which is the prorated remaining portion of the signing bonus remaining.

Here's how it works:

If a player signed a 7 year $98 million contract, with a $21 million signing bonus, if the team decides to release him after only two seasons of the contract are up, the team will take a $15 million cap hit. Why? Because the signing bonus is divided by the years of the contract. In this case, the signing bonus counts $3 million against the cap for each season of the contract. If the team releases the player, the remainder of the prorated bonus "accelerates."

Basically, yeah the Bengals could release Palmer, and not pay any of the base salaries on the rest of the years of the contract, but they'd take a huge cap hit. A cap hit ends up being "dead money", money that counts against the cap, but is not being used on any player.

What's interesting about signing bonuses is that they are paid immediately when the contract is signed (usually), but they count against the cap for the entire length of the contract.

I said I would bet money, not that I did. :D

Sorry if I sounded a little cocky, its just that I really cant believe they won. I counted out as well but I still had hopes...

I will bet money that they go all the way and win the Superbowl. And yeah there are some that said that if Palmer didn't get injured that they would have beaten the Steelers, well look at the fact that the Bungals couldn't beat the Colts yet the Steelers got the job done even after being completely f***ing screwed by the retarded referee that was most likely paid off. End of story. Come back in 2 weeks after the Steelers win the Superbowl and try running your mouth again. Kthnx.

Actually, if Palmer didn't get injured, the Bengals probably would have beaten the Steelers up. If the Bengals stayed close with a QB like Kitna, I'm almost positive if Palmer was the QB, they would have beaten the Steelers quite easily. Lets face it, Palmer changed the whole team of the Bengals and without him, they are back to mediocrity.

I will bet money that they go all the way and win the Superbowl.

OK, fine. How much you willing to bet?

It's easy to say the bengals would have won had Palmer been in the game. I could just as easily say the Steelers would have went undefeated this whole season had Ben not got hurt and had to have surgery. Indy was the "best" team but the steelers along with other teams had the capability of beating them. Indy didn't even diserve to be in the game with the steelers. Steelers were under rated coming into the playoffs everyone just looked at their record not why they lost games they did (ex. Tommy Maddox shouldn't be playing football but go back to selling insurance door to door)

    • Last week I was investigating an issue with contacts and tried using the new Outlook. In the real (Classic) Outlook, you can easily go to any Outlook folder and present it in a Table View, then customize the columns to show/sort any field, which was exactly what I needed. But of course, the new Outlook doesn't have this feature at all. I gave up. Oh, and can we possibly stop claiming the new Outlook has PST support? What it really has is the ability to use the real Outlook in the background to pretend to have PST support. There is no PST support without the real Outlook installed.
    • Honestly just before Panos left it started to feel like MS just wasnt interested in them so they were being less innovative with them, and then when he DID leave for Amazon its kind of clear the direction is gone. It felt like Panos had both goals and drive, and a vision, but it felt like no matter what his title/department was the Surface devices never had the full interest of the rest of management and he was just pushing a bolder up a hill that MS was adding dirt to as he went.
    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
