Carson Palmer unwilling to restructure?

[Mr. Laz]

sort of a big deal

If the Faiders do cut Palmer then teams will have to assume the the Faiders will go Quarterback in the draft at 1.3. That cuts down the teams they have to work with on a trade up to the Jags and Chiefs.

more value for us

Raiders already have a young prospect qb. Additionally, Carson Palmer is a starting QB. Other than his phillip rivers-esque ability to throw pick sixes late in games, he's probably better than Alex Smith in most categories.

Palmer being released gives teams another option to trading up to draft a QB.

you really think the faiders are going into the season with Terrelle Pryor as their starting QB?

You really think all the other teams in the NFL can count on the Faiders doing that?

With what they gave up for Palmer, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if they started a 10 gallon hat at qb.

Pryor's been there 3 years, started a game last year, and didn't cassel himself in it. He's basically an advanced rookie. He's a mobile qb at the height of the mobile qb era of the nfl.

I just don't see how him starting at QB would be any different from a rookie starting there.

Depends on how good the think Pryor is but i think it's bad business to allow mistakes made in the past to force bad decisions in the future.

whatever screwed up stuff happened because of Palmer can't stop you from making proper player evaluations now

I actually agree with this, and as such, am holding on to the ridiculous hope that we still draft geno, despite picking up alex smith.

I still think saying the raiders need to draft a qb in the first round is like everybody saying the chiefs need a LT first overall. Just as our Oline was the least of our worries, the Raiders seemed to have far bigger problems than bad QB play.
