[edit] Injury discussion

We obviously need some discussion on how Palmer's injury should be written. My thoughts - saying it was potentially career ending was taken out of context of what the doctor actually said. The doctor who performed Carson's surgery stated "I would consider this a typical ACL-MCL football injury. Comments attributed to me that the knee injury was 'devastating and potentially career ending' were meant to describe such injuries in general. I was accurately quoted by The Associated Press that my bottom line is optimism regarding Carson's prognosis. With a successful rehabilitation program, he has an excellent chance of being medically cleared for play at the start of the 2006 regular season."(source)

-- There's a vandal who continually reverts back to his/her own writing (this is a problem on von Oelhoffen's page too). Take care of that first.

"Steelers defensive tackle Kimo von Oelhoffen intentionally tackled Palmer at his left knee." That is not true. HAD the person who wrote that actually WATCHED the game, he/she would have seen that Kimo was shoved into Palmer.-Bio2590 07:19, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Me, being someone who "actually WATCHED the game," can confirm that the Ste(a)lers did indeed intentionally hit Palmer and that the refs are paid by Ste(a)lers coach Bill Crossdresser.

[edit] reasoning

Although NFL rules prohibit such tackles, von Oelhoffen was not fined for his hit at Palmer's knee most likely because Bengal linebacker Odell Thurman wasn't disciplined for his hit on Steeler quarterback Ben Roethlisberger below the knees in their last meeting, in which the Bengals won 38-31. The Steelers went on to win Superbowl 40 and only Cincinnatti and Seattle fans believe is an "illegitimate" championship.

Is there any proof of this?

The reason Von Oelhoffen was not fined or even had a flag thrown for a penalty was because he was blocked or shoved into Carson by one of the Bengal players. Even after the the game Carson himself said that is wasn't a bad hit. I live in Cincinnati and i am a huge fan of the Bengals. It sucks for us but it still wasn't a bad hit.

This POV keeps being inserted into the Carson Palmer article and the Kimo von Oelhoffen article. There's never any evidence to back up the claim and there's never any sources quoted. Reverting back to the official version of events each time the POV pushing returns is not a very big deal. MLA 12:18, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Can Anyone explain Why I get threats of never being alowed to edit because of stuff I am NOT putting on Wikipedia, this is in here as Cannon.

[edit] Collegiate Career graduating rank

There seems to be no citation that exists, and no google search was able to turn up, any claim that Carson graduated 3rd in his class at the USC business school. No offense to Palmer, but it would be very hard for him to have trained for the NFL draft and maintain any sort of good grades in his final semester in school. I traced this insertion to 14:34, 13 November 2006 by 68.93.142.101. This person has also made changes claiming that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson had a 4.0 GPA while a football player at Miami, Ronde Barber was salutatorian at his high school, and Seann William Scott went to several Ivy League schools. I question these uncited edits and any other edits by this IP address, but I do not have the background to check every edit they have made. Dude202 07:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Palmer is a Pro Bowl/Franchise QB... is there anyway to get a fair-use pic? I think this article deserves one. --Sylent 23:07, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fed Ex award

How important is the FedEx Air Player of the Year award to Palmer's career? I'm not thinking it's a major award - so it doesn't seem like a good candidate for the infobox. It may however, work well in the prose. Thoughts?

I say use the hot dog ad.

[edit] His membership in a fraternity?

I was reading and in his college life section it says he is a member of Sigma Alpha which is a sorority. I assume they mean Sigma Alpha Epsilon but I am unsure. Please help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcdooglede (talk • contribs) 14:44, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
