Secondary has not been super impressive so far but you are just flat wrong about the line and receivers.

My ass. The Raiders offensive line sucks. The receivers as a trio are very average as well.

The Raiders begin and end with Darren McFadden.

See - this is your problem. You LOVE arguing with people even though you deny it. While I won't argue that others don't fight back with a vengeance at times, you can't deny that you find yourself in the middle of your fair share of pissing matches around this place.

Nothing in this thread, but I remember him doing something awhile back that was over the line. I can't remember the details, but I'm guessing this is what Fraz is talking about.

Maybe he can fill in the blanks.


EDIT: How could I forget. It was the whole pedo-phile fiasco with Dane. IMO, what he did was ban worthy. He's been nothing more than a troll his entire existence here and if I remember right has been banned before. I agree with Frazod on that one. The mods gave him waaaaay to much slack on that one.

Palmer won't start. It's a gamesmanship thing that Hue Jackson is playing. It could cause some confusion for KC about how to prepare for the game. If I was KC's defensive coordinator I'd just prepare for Boller and the contingency plan if Palmer takes the field is to put 8 or 9 in the box and send six guys after the quarterback on every play.

Palmer won't be able to change the play at the line and it's going to be hard for him to throw the ball down the field with any confidence.

The Chiefs shut down Adrian Peterson pretty well so I think they can do the same thing to McFadden if Palmer plays. Make the guy with 4 days experience try to beat you.

I think Palmer sits and Boller plays the whole way through for better or worse.

Bottom line is, the Raiders are ready to win right now. We had a championship caliber roster already, and now we have a championship caliber Quarterback.

The Raiders are the most talented team in the division, and can win this division with ease as Carson Palmer gets more comfortable in the offense.

We don't need Palmer to return to his 2005 form right now, all we need him to do is play decent, manage the games, and don't turn the ball over.

When we get to playoffs, that is when we need Palmer to play like a top 10 QB. We will most likely have a first round bye as well, so that gives CP3 even more time to get the offense down.

The Raiders are going all the way this year. This is just a special year for the Raiders. You chief fans cant deny it. We back.

Chiefs are gonna stack the box whether its Palmer or Boller. Neither one will have the full compliment of plays in the gameplan - especially all the fancy trick plays that Hue put in it. Chiefs brass have an easy time planning for this game. They also are well-rested & healed up after their bye. Raiders are banged up, tired, coming off the emotional trauma of Al's death and the sudden uncertainty at quarterback. If Oakland doesn't dig deep to counter all that, its gonna be a long day.

Realistically, Palmer is probably the best choice out of what was available to Oakland.

I just don't know how they can dismiss the cost. Think of the criteria you would use to judge a 1st round draft pick. For it to be an A grade, you'd probably expect around 5 years of high level of play. To grade out around a B/C, you'd need a consistent 5 year starter type player, if not necessarily always at the top of his game (think Derrick Johnson). A C/D would probably be getting a few years of decent starter play. Anything less than 2+ years of starter play is probably going to be called an F/bust.

So realistically, Oakland is looking at needing 10 years of very good play from Palmer to grade those draft picks as A, A. A more realistic expectation would be 5 years of very good play, for what would amount to an A, D/F.

I honestly think at best case scenario, one of those draft picks is going to have to grade out as an F, using typical standards. And even more likely, the other pick is going to grade around a C at best.

Raiders fans are quick to say "if we win a Superbowl this year, it's worth it". But if you apply the same standards that you would to two 1st round draft picks, it's clear that it is not worth it. IMO, a 1st round pick should equal 5 years of starter play.

Oakland has sacrificed 10 potential years of starter play for Palmer and I don't think many NFL enthusiasts would argue that the addition puts them ahead of New England, Green Bay, or Baltimore. And may not even put them on the same tier as 2nd level play-off type teams like New Orleans, San Diego, or Pittsburgh.

I'm not trying to minimize the cost

What I'm telling you is simply

The odds on a team hitting on a pro bowl player in the draft is 15%

Those odds suck ass, even to stupid investors

The odds are simply not there. Now, you can find mariginal players at a much higher percentage, but their cost far outweighs what one pays for them

If DT was a position of need, would you have traded the 17th overall pick for Richard Seymour?

If you said no, you're an idiot, and probably thinking in the lines of losing cheap franchises like the Chiefs, Browns etc

Good points. I think Boller is still the better choice though. He went 8-14 for 100 yards coming off the bench last week and that's probably not a lot less than we could have expected out of Campbell. We probably get another TD with Campbell in but hell, when Campbell was playing the offense only scored 10 points anyway.

I have to wonder if Campbell had hit the wall even before he got injured.

Whatever. Boller should start and finish this one no matter what the outcome is. I wouldn't even have Palmer suited up for this one.

Hmm, thinking as unbiased as I possibly can considering I'm a diehard Chiefs fan and hate the Raiders....acquiring Palmer isn't a bad move. They had 0 chance with Kyle Boller. The problem is, they gave up too much for Palmer imo. It's a high risk/medium reward.

They have to make the AFC championship game right? Not win it....Hmmm...What if they make the AFC championship game, lose...and Palmer plays like shit? Don't get me wrong ..I'd love to see my team win a playoff game....I dunno if it would be worth it though.

Personally, I would expect multiple years of good play from the position to consider it a success. Just like I would from the use of the respective draft picks.

Let me put it this way. If we reached the AFC championship game this year, would that mean drafting Tyson Jackson and Dexter McCluster was worth it?

Brad Johnson won a single Superbowl, is he worth 2 draft picks?

There's just a lot more to it for me. Realistically, Oakland could miss the playoffs for the next five years, but if Palmer played lights out during that span, I'd probably consider it a good trade.

Stupid argument. It would depend on on Jacksons and McClusters roles. Oakland isn't going to make it anywhere without good play from Palmer.

Because the only reason anyone thinks they are play-off caliber team is by making it somewhere without good play from Black Cassel.

I don't think the Raider's success can unarguably be tied to Palmer playing well.

Ya. The QB doesn't have much effect on a teams success.................. That's why the Chiefs, with arguably one of the more talented offenses, are 5-0 right now with Cassel.

All I'm saying is, if you want the escalator of a conditional draft pick to depend on a player's performance, tie it to his performance. As it is currently reported, it's tied to team success, which can happen even if Palmer himself doesn't nothing. What if he gets injured, and Terrel Pryor leads them to the championship? According to you and Raider fan, it was still worth it.

You guys are making this too complicated. The Raiders made a big bet that Carson Palmer is an elite QB. If he is, they win the bet. I'm sure the stats guys at Football Outsiders or somewhere else can tell us how many wins 5-6 years of elite QB play is worth versus expected wins a 1st and a 2nd will create.

As almost all of us have agreed, winning championships is all about elite QB play. My warning to Raiders fans would be why is it that only the Raiders think Carson Palmer is an elite QB? No other team does.

The Chiefs are missing three of their best players, but at the same time the O-Line is playing better, so while they aren't quite as good, they haven't dropped off all that much either.

Todd Haley's plan in the preseason simply had the Chiefs ill prepared to start the season, and that was illustrated rather harshly in the first two games.

The Raiders aren't really all that much better than last season, and they are still an undisplined team.

The worst part about this trade is that I originally was okay with a loss in Oakland. Yes, it would have been painful, but the chiefs aren't winning the Super Bowl this year, or even the West, or even the wild card, or even 8 games.

Carson Palmer isn't a toy the Raiders should play with
By MARK PURDY - San Jose Mercury News

Text Size:

How can I say this forcefully enough? Maybe through multiple choice.

If the Raiders start Carson Palmer at quarterback Sunday, after just three days of practice, they would be:

A. Crazy.

B. Crazier than that.

C. Desperately premature.

D. Prematurely desperate.

E. Risking injury to their new most valuable asset.

F. Risking a greater chance of defeat, which ultimately trumps all of the above.

You will notice that, among the choices, the word "brilliant" is not listed.

Come Sunday, I realize that this could all be moot. Palmer's cleats may never touch the field at O.co Coliseum against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Yet as of Wednesday afternoon, barely 24 hours after Palmer joined the Raiders in a stunning trade with the Cincinnati Bengals, there were enough hints that he indeed will take snaps in the game. Perhaps even the first snap.

Most of those hints were contained in a Kansas City radio station interview with Al Saunders, the Raiders' offensive coordinator. The craggy Saunders, a San Jose State graduate and longtime NFL staffer, is generally a no-nonsense guy. But when he was asked by the radio hosts to describe what he needed to see out of Palmer to prove he was worthy of playing, Saunders tried to make a joke.

"As long as he's breathing," Saunders said to a laughing reaction.

As if to clarify, Saunders also said of Palmer's immediate starting chances: "It just depends on how quickly he feels comfortable in what we're doing, and that shouldn't take long."

Saunders is right. It shouldn't take long. But three days?

Palmer has not been in uniform since early January. But after eight seasons as a good and occasionally great NFL quarterback, he has not forgotten how to play the position. It's wishful thinking, though, to believe he needs just three days to digest the playbook before diving right into the zone-blitz mayhem. After such a long layoff? That's asking for ... well, something. Perhaps not trouble. But a potential minor or major traffic accident.

Learning a new NFL offense with a new team is not like learning a new route to the grocery store. It's more like entering a grocery store where all the groceries have labels in a foreign language and are in entirely different aisles.

And that doesn't even include the physical fitness part. Palmer said upon arrival in Oakland that he had thrown some passes during his down time but "not enough." Palmer also said that while he was in good shape, it wasn't the type of NFL shape that allows quarterbacks to pick themselves up after a big hit or long scramble and find enough quick oxygen to call the next play.

(Don't laugh. That's a major concern. Peyton Manning of the Colts, now on the disabled list, has been known to train in the offseason by jumping on a treadmill for hours and barking out football signals, to make sure he'll have the breath to do it in games.)

Raiders head coach Hue Jackson, who made the Palmer deal happen and crowed about it afterward, obviously worries about that, too. Jackson conceded as much after Wednesday's practice, in which Palmer took half the snaps with the No. 1 offensive unit. Jackson said that the critical thing was to gauge how Palmer feels Thursday morning, after he wakes up following his first strenuous football day in almost nine months.

"I'm in no rush," Jackson told reporters about making the Palmer decision.

Let's hope Jackson resists the temptation. The schedule, with the Raiders facing a bye week following Sunday's game, is timed almost perfectly for Palmer to gradually work into the starting job. He can practice this week before watching and taking notes this weekend. He can spend next week gearing up his fitness while memorizing the complete playbook. He can then go full-bore to prepare as a starter for the Nov. 6 game against Denver.

And what would be the big hairy problem with doing that? It merely means that serviceable Kyle Boller must start Sunday's game for the Raiders against a Chiefs team that has a 2-3 record, with the two victories coming by narrow margins over two of the league's worst outfits, Minnesota and Indianapolis. If the Chiefs can't be defeated with Boller at quarterback, the Raiders don't deserve a playoff spot, anyway.

I see such a downside if Palmer has to play all four quarters, so soon and so quickly. Too much could go wrong. I can see him, with way-too-rested muscles, pulling a hamstring or ripping a tendon in the second half because he's overdone it. At most, Jackson might install a small package of plays for Palmer and throw him out there for a series or two, so he can gradually grow accustomed again to NFL speed.

Otherwise? We all know the otherwise. Tossed right into the lineup, Palmer could be swallowed up in the pocket by the NFL speed (leading to sacks). The speed could also cause him to underreact by being just a touch slow on his passing motion (leading to interceptions) or overreact by accelerating his arm too quickly (leading to incompletions). And a loss would be likely.

Look, if Palmer is healthy, this trade was a good and strong move by the Raiders. But here is when they will most need him: In the two remaining San Diego games. In tough late-season matchups against Green Bay and Detroit. And with any luck, in the playoffs.

Sunday? Not so much. Even if Palmer does start against the Chiefs, isn't injured and the Raiders win, it won't change my opinion that the risk was too high. I understand why it could happen. When you get a new toy, the tendency is to peel off the wrapping right away and start playing with the darned thing.

Palmer isn't a toy, though. He is now the Raiders' most valuable asset. He doesn't need to be babied. But he does need more than three days.

Carson Palmer isn't a toy the Raiders should play with

How can I say this forcefully enough? Maybe through multiple choice.

If the Raiders start Carson Palmer at quarterback Sunday, after just three days of practice, they would be:

A. Crazy.

B. Crazier than that.

C. Desperately premature.

D. Prematurely desperate.

E. Risking injury to their new most valuable asset.

F. Risking a greater chance of defeat, which ultimately trumps all of the above.

You will notice that, among the choices, the word "brilliant" is not listed.

Come Sunday, I realize that this could all be moot. Palmer's cleats may never touch the field at O.co Coliseum against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Yet as of Wednesday afternoon, barely 24 hours after Palmer joined the Raiders in a stunning trade with the Cincinnati Bengals, there were enough hints that he indeed will take snaps in the game. Perhaps even the first snap.

Most of those hints were contained in a Kansas City radio station interview with Al Saunders, the Raiders' offensive coordinator. The craggy Saunders, a San Jose State graduate and longtime NFL staffer, is generally a no-nonsense guy. But when he was asked by the radio hosts to describe what he needed to see out of Palmer to prove he was worthy of playing, Saunders tried to make a joke.

"As long as he's breathing," Saunders said to a laughing reaction.

As if to clarify, Saunders also said of Palmer's immediate starting chances: "It just depends on how quickly he feels comfortable in what we're doing, and that shouldn't take long."

Saunders is right. It shouldn't take long. But three days?

Palmer has not been in uniform since early January. But after eight seasons as a good and occasionally great NFL quarterback, he has not forgotten how to play the position. It's wishful thinking, though, to believe he needs just three days to digest the playbook before diving right into the zone-blitz mayhem. After such a long layoff? That's asking for ... well, something. Perhaps not trouble. But a potential minor or major traffic accident.

Learning a new NFL offense with a new team is not like learning a new route to the grocery store. It's more like entering a grocery store where all the groceries have labels in a foreign language and are in entirely different aisles.

And that doesn't even include the physical fitness part. Palmer said upon arrival in Oakland that he had thrown some passes during his down time but "not enough." Palmer also said that while he was in good shape, it wasn't the type of NFL shape that allows quarterbacks to pick themselves up after a big hit or long scramble and find enough quick oxygen to call the next play.

(Don't laugh. That's a major concern. Peyton Manning of the Colts, now on the disabled list, has been known to train in the offseason by jumping on a treadmill for hours and barking out football signals, to make sure he'll have the breath to do it in games.)

Raiders head coach Hue Jackson, who made the Palmer deal happen and crowed about it afterward, obviously worries about that, too. Jackson conceded as much after Wednesday's practice, in which Palmer took half the snaps with the No. 1 offensive unit. Jackson said that the critical thing was to gauge how Palmer feels Thursday morning, after he wakes up following his first strenuous football day in almost nine months.

"I'm in no rush," Jackson told reporters about making the Palmer decision.

Let's hope Jackson resists the temptation. The schedule, with the Raiders facing a bye week following Sunday's game, is timed almost perfectly for Palmer to gradually work into the starting job. He can practice this week before watching and taking notes this weekend. He can spend next week gearing up his fitness while memorizing the complete playbook. He can then go full-bore to prepare as a starter for the Nov. 6 game against Denver.

And what would be the big hairy problem with doing that? It merely means that serviceable Kyle Boller must start Sunday's game for the Raiders against a Chiefs team that has a 2-3 record, with the two victories coming by narrow margins over two of the league's worst outfits, Minnesota and Indianapolis. If the Chiefs can't be defeated with Boller at quarterback, the Raiders don't deserve a playoff spot, anyway.

I see such a downside if Palmer has to play all four quarters, so soon and so quickly. Too much could go wrong. I can see him, with way-too-rested muscles, pulling a hamstring or ripping a tendon in the second half because he's overdone it. At most, Jackson might install a small package of plays for Palmer and throw him out there for a series or two, so he can gradually grow accustomed again to NFL speed.

Otherwise? We all know the otherwise. Tossed right into the lineup, Palmer could be swallowed up in the pocket by the NFL speed (leading to sacks). The speed could also cause him to underreact by being just a touch slow on his passing motion (leading to interceptions) or overreact by accelerating his arm too quickly (leading to incompletions). And a loss would be likely.

Look, if Palmer is healthy, this trade was a good and strong move by the Raiders. But here is when they will most need him: In the two remaining San Diego games. In tough late-season matchups against Green Bay and Detroit. And with any luck, in the playoffs.

Sunday? Not so much. Even if Palmer does start against the Chiefs, isn't injured and the Raiders win, it won't change my opinion that the risk was too high. I understand why it could happen. When you get a new toy, the tendency is to peel off the wrapping right away and start playing with the darned thing.

Palmer isn't a toy, though. He is now the Raiders' most valuable asset. He doesn't need to be babied. But he does need more than three days.

\

carson Plamer isn't raiders most valueable asset . That would be darren Mcfadden. Who this offense still revolves around. Defintely number2.

Hue Jackson not going to do play Carson Plamer if hes not ready. Carson Palmer is very familiar with Hue jackson offense. He was Palmer OC and Qb coach at USC. The Bengals playbok isn't much diffrent than the raiders.
Just the verbage is diffrent.

I expect carson Palmer to start for the raiders. They are going to run the football alot and throw the passses that carson Plamer very comfortable making. I expect raiders to take alot of chances down the field. Jason Campbell strength was never the deep pass while Palmer can do that extremely well. (corect me if im wrong but aren't the chiefs giving up alot big plays down the field)

Hue Jackson is very good designing plays that put his Qb in very good position. Take last week Kyle boller missing bad wide open recievers all over the field. Hue Jackson Put Jacoby Ford in the backfield with D Mcfadden. The Browns defense didn't know what to do. They send Mcfadden and ford out of the backfield. The3 Browns have no answer as ford takes a dump off and has a very big gain.

I wouldn't expect Palmer to have to do much against a very bad Chiefs defense

The Chiefs are 22nd vs the run, dead last in points per game giving up

The Raiders OL is tied for 1st in the NFL

They are #2 in rushing as a team and have the #1 rusher in McFadden

Oakland runs the ball more than any other team in the NFL.. They only throw the ball on average about 29 times a game, and about 15 of those are screens or dumpoffs

They'll dumb it down and just come straight at the Chiefs, its really all you need to do, I'd expect to see Bush get half the carries.. it'll be vanilla, not much motion etc.. They'll just beat the Chiefs up on the LOS, the Raiders are just to physical for the Chiefs to handle in the trenches

I'd venture to guess you'll see a couple deep passes to keep the Chiefs on their heels

Wouldn't be surprised if they go deep on the very 1st play

But those dig routes?, curls? naw.. you wont see much of those until Palmer and the WR's get their timing down, more than likely you'll see those plays come into the game plan after the bye which will give Palmer 2 weeks to get his timing down with the WR's

Carson Palmer took big pay cut this year to join Raiders
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on October 20, 2011, 7:02 PM EDT
Carson Palmer AP

Carson Palmer wasn’t going to fit into the Raiders salary cap structure this year under his old salary.

We knew that his contract would have to be re-worked in some manner, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Palmer took a “flat $5 million pay cut” for 2011 to make it happen.

Schefter says Palmer will get $1 million added to his salary in 2012. $5 million of his $12.5 million salary next year is now guaranteed. We wonder if Palmer has a chance to make “back” more money in future years. If not, it shows how desperate he was to get out of Cincinnati now.

After all, taking a $5 million pay cut is still a lot better than making nothing the rest of the year.

UPDATE: Schefter reports Palmer will make $2.5 million the rest of the season. That’s a nice bargain financially in the short term for the Raiders. He was set to make $7.4 million on is prorated contract the rest of the season.

Palmer is due $40.5 million from 2012-2014.

Why do Raider fans like to put themselves in the NFL elite? You are picking far closer to 18 than you are 26.

You are also failing to acknowledge that you also at worst are giving up a 2nd rounder on top of that pick.

You carry on like this is a slam dunk of a trade. Palmer's arm strength and accuracy has declined each year. You think that he's going to come in, be in sync with the playbook and the receivers in 1-2 weeks?

If Carson Palmer takes the customary 4 weeks to get up to speed with the Raiders playbook, like the length of a preseason, then the Raiders have zero chance at the post-season this year.

Forgot about this. He never had the surgery.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer is unlikely to play another game in the 2008 season but he will delay a decision on whether to have surgery to repair a "frayed" ligament in his right throwing elbow, sources told ESPN.
Palmer's injury is to one portion of the ulnar collateral ligament and he has been told that Tommy John surgery would repair the problem with positive results, the sources said.

I work next to a die-hard Bengals fan. Loves Cincy in the same way I love the Chiefs. He said Palmer's problem was less his arm then it was his legs and that ever since his knee injury he just wasn't the same player and was much more tentative in taking a hit.

Since that injury his QB rating is 83.12. For comparison, during the same period as a starter, Cassel is 85.5.

Unless he's changed, of course. ;)

You and the rest of the raider faithful have been embarassing yourself throughout this entire thread.

Before he's taken a single snap for Oakland, it's been determined by the Chief faithful that the trade was a complete failure and Palmer will faceplant and wash out before the seasons over.

Ya think you might want to wait a few weeks, or months and see how he plays first? How can you possibly judge a trade without seeing a single result? Or is it just the cool thing to do because there's a hate for the Raiders? A player actually WANTING to play for a team, or a player who just needs a change of scenery could be all he needed to regain his prior form:

Randy Moss(28yrs old), Oakland Raiders
102 receptions, 1558yds 11td's in TWO years

Randy Moss(30-33yrs old), New England Patriots
250 receptions, 3765yds 47td's in THREE years

Yes, I realize were talking Tom Brady but a player who is happy and wants to play hard for his team can make all the difference. Randy was miserable in Oakland and wanted out any way he could. Don't underestimate how hard a player will work for his team when he's in a situation were he's happy and wants to be there.

Palmer still has his savvy as a QB, supposedly he is up there with Brady and Manning in his ability to make pre-snap reads; however, he no longer has a plus arm. It'll be interesting to see how he does. At this stage of his career, he is Chad Pennington. Before taking that as an insult, Pennington had some huge years in a system specifically tailored to his strengths. He's simply not a big arm QB anymore.

The question is to what level will he help?

Will he help them more than the two picks they will give up that will leave your team hurting BADLY in a couple years?

Pure and simple, you guys paid for a 27 year old quarterback with no injury problems and got a 32 year old quarterback with injury issues to his two most important parts of his body in relevance to his job.

If going to Oaklannd will suddenly help him not play scared to take a hit, or somehow increase his arm strength after his elbow injury.....more power to ya.

I was wondering if I was mistaken, but I didn't check again.

Defense -

yards per game - 369 to 416 in favor of the Chiefs

run defense per game - 113 to 119 in favor of the Raiders, HOWEVER the Raiders give up 4.9 a pop. The Chiefs give up 3.8 a pop.

Passing yards a game - 249 to 283 a game.

So where is it that the Raiders are so much better on defense??????

They aren't.

Let your three best players walk via free agency, get rid of your coach that lead you to 8 wins which is like winning the Super Bowl for the Raiders nowadays, trade two high picks for a QB that hasn't been good since 2005.

IMO if Baldwin plays, we win...if he doesnt, it should be a lot closer than most Raider fans think and I would bet one score decides the game.

I dont think you guys have enough in the back 7 of your defense to defend us if we go 3 and 4 wide and that would lead to us being able to take chunks in the running game.

I am really looking forward to the matchup of Seymour and Asamoah...Big Jon did very well against Suh and Suh is much much better than Seymour.

The line is Raiders favored by 4.5 points right now on the site I use.

The straight money odds is +190 to the chiefs so thats is ROUGHLY meaning that the Raiders are about 2:1 favorites (66% to 33%)

Seems about right, I wouldnt touch this game at these odds....you'd have to bet over $200 on the raiders to win $100.....

Id be more inclined to bet the opposite...but I am biased so I am not touching this game.
