didn't carson palmer have the same surgery jake delhomme had?

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer is unlikely to play another game in the 2008 season but he will delay a decision on whether to have surgery to repair a "frayed" ligament in his right throwing elbow, sources told ESPN.

Palmer's injury is to one portion of the ulnar collateral ligament and he has been told that Tommy John surgery would repair the problem with positive results, the sources said. However, doctors have agreed that Palmer's conservative approach to such an operation is acceptable because the damage is more limited than what Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme suffered a year ago when he had the surgery.

there's a lot of similarities to be drawn here... tough veteran leaders whose leadership skills are supposed to make up for any insufficiences as a quarterback.

If I'm not mistaken, he elected not to have the surgery, instead he let the ligaments heal on their own. It was the same injury that Jake had though, although his injury was not as severe.

It is somewhat funny; Palmer has put up 19 TDs, 15 INTs and 2700 yards. Reading this thread and some of the Bungals ones, you'd think he was Brian St. Pierre... or Jimmy Clausen.

Love those garbage time stats against prevent D

Palmer's never been benched no matter how sorry he's played. I just dont think a QB can thrive in an environment like that. Palmer was praised just this offseason for displaying "leadership" by calling out Ocho Cinco for not coming to OTA's. Palmer is very overpaid considering he's never had postseason success. There's never been a national story about benching Carson Palmer or examining his shortcoming as a QB. If Palmer had any kind of pressure to win or lose his job he would've had a better career and the Bengals might be a better football team. As is, they're 2-10 and on their way to the lottery. I think the Bengals should draft Cam Newton.

So if you were the Bengals would you bench him for...his little brother?

Yeah, he's looked horrible this year. And you gotta put a big bulk of their failures at his feet, because with the weapons they have on offense, there's no reason they should be that bad.

IMO, he's never been the same since Von Oelhoffen (sp?) blew up his knee in the playoffs years back. He was on the verge of greatness prior to that...

Now, he just sucks, and I think he's done there as well. Additionally, I don't want him here as some have suggested, even if it's relatively cheap, lol.
