[Daugherty] No need to fret about No. 9 - Cincy Enquirer
...Maybe more important than the monstrously efficient numbers Palmer put up in less than a half was the psychological balm they provided. Just getting into a game and testing the waters was the biggest thing for Palmer. Coming back firing like Conan O'Brien at the Emmys was something else altogether.

The effort says some things about Palmer we already assumed but, because he isn't one to preen, verbally or otherwise, we never discussed much. There is dedication and character very much at work there. Remember: The injury was supposed to require up to a year of rehab and recovery. This wasn't just your basic ACL knee-rip. It was two ligaments, ACL and MCL. Doctors needed an Achilles tendon from a cadaver to do the repair...

Also, Palmer looks like the No. 9 we know - Cincy Enquirer
