I think you got it backwards.  If anything it shaves a year off the front of his career.  The question is how many ligaments are torn; how close to a Teddy Bridgewater situation is this?

Recovery of 9 months is a best case scenario if everything goes perfect.  Sometimes these multiple ligament situations require second surgeries.  If so that knee could easily take 18 months or more before it is really solid.  If the latter occurs, the question is what will the Bengals do in the meantime.  A lot of unknowns here.

I wouldn't say that. Carson Palmer had a worse injury his 2nd year (ACL/MCL/IT Band/Meniscus/nerve damage, displaced patella) and he played at a high level until he was nearly 40. In fact, his best year came at 36.

Didnt realize Carsons knee exploded that badly. 

I hope that Joe makes a full recovery. 

Ever since couch and carr got wrecked by their nursery lines I have hated it when teams dont prepare properly for rookie qbs.

There was a legitimate belief that his knee injury was a career threatening injury - Kimo Von Olhoffen swan dived into his knee pretty bad, it was 320lbs right into his knee.

Has there been a few other players to have ACL alone and return only to re-injure?  Considering the additional damage, 9 months would be rushing him back and really risking more.

NaVorro Bowman, San Francisco 49ers Linebacker
NaVorro suffered one of the worst possible types of knee injury when Seahawks receiver Jermaine Kearse was pushed into him, knocking NaVorro to the ground and buckling his knee inwards. Both his ACL and MCL were torn, forcing NaVorro to step out of the spotlight. Thirteen months after his injury, NaVorro has still not stepped foot on the field for a game.

 

 

Orlovsky said it best and 2021shouldn't happen, more like 2022.  This is when you sign a Vet for a 1 year prove it deal, always a few of those around

This is the kind of injury that can create mental complications that aren’t going to be on any prognosis. We seen it with Wentz, even Palmer took some time to get his mind right after his. I wouldn’t rush him back at all. 

This is true, 2009 Brady was seeing ghosts and playing scared after that knee injury.

maybe trade out of the 1st round and see if the curse goes elsewhere, thats rough.  That might be as bad as missing on non injured RD1 picks, not sure.

Trading out of the 1st is tough when you pick top 5. I could see them trading down for more picks though. This year is pretty deep at OL and they need the help.

good point, get the value later and extra players that should be good.   If the HOF LT is there, then thats the pic though

When he was on the cart going away when it all sank in for me and all my emotions became real.

Didn't look like it on the cart.

Looked (and sounded) painful initially though.

 

He was definitely crying on the field
