Carson Palmer to Oakland Raiders for 1st/2012

[Monkeydad]

With Campbell coming back potentially in 6 weeks, I did not think they'd invest so much in a QB...just someone to bridge that gap so Boller isn't on the field. JC was playing VERY well for them...now it looks like he'll be gone since he's a FA and they've gotta stick with Palmer after overpaying for him so badly.

They better hope he's someone close to where he was before his injury. He hasn't been the same since.

However, after watching Ochocinco in NE this year...maybe it wasn't Palmer's fault completely. He should have a better offense around him in Oakland, especially with McFadden behind him. The WRs are talented but there is no clear #1. Heyward-Bey has been outstanding lately (with Campbell), Ford is always dangerous, Louis Murphy is reliable if nothing else...but no real star in the group.

Going to be interesting to watch. This is either going to propel Oakland to the next level or cripple them for 3 years minimum.
