Bengals the owner Mike Brown, who created his perpetual failure machine with buy Madden 23 ltds money and nepotism, refused to take draft picks for free from a quarterback-starved league. "Carson signed an agreement. He made a commitment. He backed up his word," Brown said. "We believed in his word. We relied on his word. We expected him perform in this regard. He's going out from his obligation. We're not going to reward him for that."

Brown finally broke the surface halfway through the 2011 campaign, sending Palmer to Oakland for a first-round pick and a conditional second-rounder, one of the many reasons that the Raiders have remained in a lower-performing league as the Bengals in the past couple of years.

There's a good reason why Oakland's fervent fans have a rousing cheer out of within the Black Hole: because the collapsed star's physics are applicable in the case of the Raiders. When quarterbacks reach the line of sight of an Oakland Raider the photons they emit are slowed down to zero, meaning that we can't get to see them disappear. We simply look away.

Palmer did however manage to achieve escape velocity after a trade in the Cardinals in spring 2013. He led to the Cardinals to a record of 10-6 making him the first athlete on the field in Madden NFL 23 history to throw over 4000 yards for several teams. He was even better this season, taking home each of his six games during the time that the Cardinals took on the top of the NFC. His 11 touchdown passes to three interceptions was the highest ratio of his career.

Then, in Week 10 this year after he was pushed to the turf against the Rams without being touched by anyone, causing his ACL to tear again. The injury took Carson Palmer a decade to get back to his best, but his revival wasn't sustained for a full season before he suffered the exact injury that ended his career at the beginning. However, even if he doesn't plays again, he'll finish his career as the most successful professional quarterback from USC.

In a sport as unapologetically and cheap Madden 23 ltds stereotypically meaty as football I'm unable to help but admire Mark Sanchez's determination to never fumbling about what others think about his tastes.
