Re: Carson Palmer to Oakland Raiders for 1st/2012
 

People judged this trade to soon, you can't expect a QB who's been sitting for 1.5 years come in and perform a miracle. As Palmer learns the offense the Raiders will play better and be contenders, I still think it was a good trade for the Raiders.

Good trade for OAK still, better trade for CIN in the long run. Unless of course OAK wins the big game...

I didn't think Carson had a single good game left in him. I stand corrected. I still think they will be few and far between though. Cincinnati wins.

Bengals won this trade folks yeah palmer had a good game last night but his first 2 were bad, ntm he's getting older and hasn't really played well in a few years, I still think SD wins the west at 9-7

Re: Carson Palmer to Oakland Raiders for 1st/2012
 

Palmer seems to be getting up to speed pretty quick, and his arm looks strong.

Re: Carson Palmer to Oakland Raiders for 1st/2012
 

Man he looked really sharp last night. Still think they gave up too much, but if the Raiders make a push into the playoffs the next two years, might be worth it.

So THAT'S what it looks like to hit a deep ball in stride...

And maybe Moore was making Candle look good instead of the other way around. ;)

The only way the Raiders win this trade is if they win the SB, which they won't. However, if Palmer continues to play at a high level for the next 3 years, they are in good shape. Oakland is a young team, and given the AFC West's situation, barring anything crazy, they could be a playoff team for the next couple of seasons.

How was Palmer "sitting for 1.5 years?"

He played last year; he "sat" during the offseason the way every NFL player "sat" during the offseason. He missed training camp (4 weeks) and the first 6 weeks of the NFL season. :confused:
