I think he could get another shot with a different team in the future, but his best days appear to be over. I just watched him in the pocket with ALL DAY to the throw the ball, not one person in his face, and he lobs it right into triple coverage in the endzone. I mean hes shown flashes in the past, but to me, he was never great, he just hasn't been the same since the injury...

There was a time, a la 2005-2006, where Carson Palmer was an easy top 5 QB in the league, then along came von Oelhoffen. The thing is that it was a knee and not his head...his decision making is terrible now and he shows little signs of getting better.

He was amazing pre-injury.

The knee injury almost certainly messed with his mechanics - he doesn't throw the ball nearly as hard as he used to. Perhaps it's nowhere near what it used to be, or perhaps it's all mental and he just doesn't trust it.

Yep, cos he's a white devil.

Hey, its hurt his development. If he had that kinda pressure to deal with he'd be alot tougher and a much better QB. Nobody ever took the training wheels off Carson. As is, even surrounded with talent he has he cant manage to win. The guy is one of the top 2 highest paid QBs in the league.

He got paid based off of 2005 numbers and now he plays scared and has lost that killer instinct. The Bengels are full of guys that were legitimate playmakers...now they have a broken Qb throwing to an aged wide out that drops it more than anyone in the league.

I do love Shipley though, and Benson and Gresham aren't anything to sniff at either.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
