Carson Palmer to Oakland Raiders for 1st/2012

Steal? They Raiders got seriously ripped off...a first round pick!? Wonder what happens to Campbell next year? Hmmm....back to D.C. anyone?

I would rather walk back to dc wearing a mcnabb jersey than have campbell at qb next year.

It not that he's that bad, it's that i it happens we would be moving in the wrong direction.

Makes me think we didn't ask the Raiders for enough for Campbell....what did we get?...a 4th rounder or something?..sheesh!

I hope the skins FO learned something here....you don't get trade value just based on talent....you get it based on perception of how willing a FO is to trade them.
Everyone knew Campbell was gone, so we didn't get much....same issue with McNabb....and we ended up giving the Eagles a 2nd and 3rd for McNabb? Why?...because we thought they were fine holding on to him.
Let's learn something here!

Talk about a crappy trade....I bet most of you would be pissed if the Skins gave up a single 2nd rounder for Palmer...and out QB situation is arguably worse.
I would have been pissed too...a 3rd or 4th rounder?...ok for a 30+yr injury prone declining QB to hold down the fort for 2 years....even that is arguable

I see the Raiders as complete morons on this one...I was SHOCKED at what they paid....SHOCKED

The Raiders were desperate and made a desperate move.

A 4th for JC was perfectly fair compensation and came under different circumstances.

Apples and oranges.

I wish we got oranges...hell, the Bengals got enough to make a gallon of OJ

He and the team have carved him out a nice place, he can (and is) having success. I hope he does not lose it..........

And Palmer was a much better player at his peak than McNabb was. That's a big one when evaluating the relative compensation.

Not when the deals are a season apart and they're both past their primes. Hell, I'm rooting for the guy, we shall see.

I wonder if when Palmer said he wanted to go to a more stable organization, the Raiders were at the top of his list?

Bottom line on this trade:

Yeah, the Raiders paid a steep prize but they had to do something cause Kyle Boller isn't the answer and this is a pretty good team who are not about not let their season go to waste. The Raiders have a solid team all around and whether you like it or not, are a better than the Redskins at this point. The one weakness holding them back (just like the Redskins) is the QB position. Personally I think Palmer will be rejuvenated and take the Raiders to the division championship, call me crazy or a crack smoker the Raiders needed to pull this expensive move. We will see if it was bad or good in a few weeks. Remember they have a sense of purpose and are playing for Al.

The Raiders are fine since he actually said that he wanted to go to a more Stabler organization.
