I know no one in the camp is officially saying this and the story is mostly others making conjecture, but we need to face the very real possibility that Fitz is the man.

Uh oh. No surgery for Palmer, but he could be done for season.

I rather have Fitz be the man this season to make sure carsonhas more time to recover and doesn't get any more injured behind our horrible Oline.
Plus it means we tank more games :P and more of a chance to hit our goal of 0-16

Yeah, and he's taking snaps behind an elephant that keeps tripping over his own feet.

They lost out for there #1 with Chad this year and who knows what happens in the offseason with him and TJ makes you wonder next year how bad this offense is going to be again, They better decide what they are going to do here before its to late.

I hate to sound bleak here, but it is the Bengals. If that elbow doesn't start healing, and they can't rule out the Tommy John by next year's draft...we may need to start looking at QB options.

Yeah, you can just hear Goodell now, can't you?
And with the first selection in the 2009 draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select Tim Tebow, quarterback, University of Florida...

Kiss of death for Tebow. If Carson's career gets cut short, look at the luck we've had with first round QB draft picks. Tebow might want to consider coming back for that Senior Year.

Personally, I wrote Palmer off last week. No surprise here.
+1. This is non-news. Any sane team shuts Palmer down at this point. The only question I have had is what this insane team do. Apparently they will do the right thing.
We have a real chance at pulling off an 0-16.

I think they already decided. They're going to be a running team. They also installed the scheme. But they didn't adjust personnel to fit the scheme. Asking Bratkowski to implement a ball control running offense is like putting a plow harness on a trotting horse. He can pull the plow, he just doesn't do it very well.

For certain there is no medical mystery here and Carson as well as the Bengals, "brain trust", know the treatment options and how long he's got to sit. They're just playing with us now. Hope people, got to feed em hope.
Obviously this is a serious injury here and obviously Carson hasn't liked the diagnosis to date. Given how competitive he is and embarrassed for the team's record, I got to believe he's being told to sit out for weeks if not the rest of the season. Remember he got hurt because the Oline stunk up in Jersey. Most of us knew he was going to get knocked out this season, only a case of when and what got broken. Now we know.
