I would assume it is no different than two Tommy John surgery's. Daniel Hudson came back from that. Plus, Arian already said he will be back in June or July.

Throwing and putting weight on a joint and running around are 2 totally different things.
Yup, throwing constant 95 MPH fastballs would do a lot more damage. Plus, this is about repairing them, not the after effects.
UCL and ACL are both manor ligaments.
Also, they have braces for the knee to protect them, they don't for elbows. Those braces do a lot to protect the knee.

Sorta agree... However, in Palmer's case, his ACL was repaired back in 2005! Not sure if that makes this situation any more positive or negative... But, Hudson's surgeries were fairly close together, whereas Palmer's will be 9+ years apart.

When Tommy John originally had the surgery now named after him, he went from a fastball pitcher to a junk ball pitcher. That said, I would say that blowing your ACL is much worse only because when pitching, it's one motion albeit 100 times in a night whereas when using your legs, cutting and other lateral motions put much more pressure on.
Interesting point. Since Arians said Palmer should be back by training camp, does it really make a difference?

Don't know... not a doc and I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night!
I think it's great that BA believes Carson can be back for training camp. What type of player he will be when the season starts could be an entirely other matter. We'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out... Just sucks, period!

Why wouldn't he be back for training camp? He's got more than 9 months to rehab. These days they heal a lot more quickly from that surgery than 'back in the day.'

Have you seen Palmer run? Not sure you can call that cutting.
Palmer's mobility is underrated and it's created some big throws this year. That will most likely be gone.

It's football season!!
Hasn't Thomas Davis of the Panthers torn his ACL at least twice and is currently playing at a high level?

What was it Marino had that he had to wear the robo-brace toward the end of his career?

Maybe he can go to AP's surgeon.

It depends on what surgery they do. If they do a cadaver tendon which I think is the common surgery now, in theory they can just keep replacing the tendon. If they do the graft from the patellar tendon then they've already done it once and presumably harder to do it again.
My guess is they do the cadaver tendon. He's older though 82 is right, recovery time is longer with age.
When the talk of new contract first came up I said I was leery because he'd just come back from the shoulder nerve thing, of course having no idea it'd be the knee that took him down.
Tough break I kept hoping that it was an ankle because of the way he grabbed at his foot, but when it buckled on the sideline it became pretty clear it was the knee.

youre kidding right? The Cardinals captain and starting QB just blew his knee out. I think people have the right to be a little upset right now.
It's raining fans...., haliluya,... it's raining skies... hey hey.
Some threads are like ACL tears to my heart, some posters give up, get mad, and than come back when we are still winning, all in the course of a week.. every week that is.

Watch pitches in slow motion. A fastball, a slider, variations of all three and you'll note a great variety of stresses on arm, elbow, shoulder. Greater than? Not sure, I'm not a kinisiologist (sp).
