It's the opening game of 2006's Wild Card game against Madden 24 coins  the Steelers which was the longest pass sequence during Bengals playoff history, and the end of Palmer's short career as an elite quarterback in the NFL. The play ends with Henry getting sacked at the Steelers' 22 and Palmer fell to his five, lying on his back and writhing after Kimo von Olhoeffen hit him in the low area and tore his MCL and ACL.

This doesn't mean Palmer hasn't played well since He was quickly healed and played all 16 games that year (no problem; just look up Robert Griffin III) and even made the Pro Bowl. But it was the Palmer at the end of the 2005 season -- who dominated in the Madden NFL 24 with 32 touchdown passes and a 67.8 percent completion rate, while throwing 12 interceptions during the second year he was a starter -- never reappeared. His accuracy dipped and the Bengals organization's problems resurfaced and he was plagued by elbow injuries, probably the combination of throwing to his knee that was surgically repaired.

The time he spent in Cincinnati ended when the Bengals recorded a 4-12 record during the 2010 season. Palmer was eighth time with the team. Palmer declared that he'd rather retire at 31 than play for the Bengals once more: "I have $80 million in my account. I don't have to play football for money. I'll do it because I love football but the money isn't the only reason. I'm determined to live my life." Think about that for a moment: Palmer, the first overall pick of the 2003 Madden NFL 24 Draft, younger then both Tom Brady and Peyton Manning and was ready to never play football again at 31. That's how much playing with the Bengals sucks ass.

Bengals owners Mike Brown, who created his perpetual failure machine with nepotism and frugality, refused to allow draft picks free from a quarterback-deficient league. "Carson signed to a contract. He made a promise. He stood by his word." Brown said. "We trusted his commitment to his word. We relied on his word. We expected him to show up in this regard. He's going to walk away from his promise. We aren't going to reward the man for his actions."

Brown finally broke through halfway into the 2011 season, sending Palmer to Oakland for a first-round draft pick and a conditional second-rounder, one of the many reasons why the Raiders have been able to remain in a lower-performing league as the Bengals during the last two decades.

There's a reason that the fervent fans of Oakland cheer from within the Black Hole: because the collapsed star physics apply on the Raiders. When quarterbacks enter the line of sight of an Oakland Raider, their photons are slowed to zero, therefore we cannot see them disappear. They just keep looking away.

Palmer was able to escape velocity after a trade to the Cardinals in the spring of 2013. He helped lead his team the Cardinals to a 10-6 win, becoming the first player of Madden NFL 24 history to throw over 4000 yards for the three teams. He was even better than last year, winning each of his six games as the Cardinals were on the verge of reaching an upper level of the NFC. His 11 touchdown passes to three interceptions was probably the best ratio of his career.

Then, in Week 10 of this season He slammed into the ground against the Rams without touching and his ACL tore again. This took Carson Palmer a decade to rebuild his career, but his revival was not sustained for the full duration of the buy mut 24 coins  season before he suffered the exact injury that destroyed his potential in the first place.
