Carson Palmer to Oakland Raiders for 1st/2012

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

Very well played

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.

Even with Palmer they're not a SB contender. On top of that I heard today on tv that they only have 5th and 6th round draft picks next year. They went for the quick fix and it's going to blow up in their faces imo.

Oakland is expecting to receive compensatory picks after losing Nnamdi Asomugha, Zach Miller, Robert Gallery, Thomas Howard and Bruce Gradkowski in free agency.

Asomugha, Gallery, were 1st round picks, Miller and Howard were a 2nd rounders, so I would say they will get something in the 3rd and 4th round.

I think comp picks have to do with how many free agents you lose compared to how many you bring in. And contract size has to do with it as well. Butyeah I do agree the Raiders should be receiving at least one 3rd for losing Nnamdi.

The Raidahs offense is full of untapped potential. McFadden is not their only good player. Their receiving corps is criminally underrated because JC17 always does that to his WRs. Whether or not Palmer can tap into that potential is a different matter, but it is there. Jacoby Ford is better than any WR on our roster.

Jacoby ford is not better than Moss or Gaffney, cmon now dude show some respect to these guys that have done it for years, ford is a KR PR for goodness sakes

Have you seen him play? He's better than Gaffney, he's a starter and burner. Have you heard of Marcel Reese or Taiwan Jones? Damn good RB's. Darius-Bey is having a good year, Denarius Moore is a very nice rookie, Louis Murphy, Chaz Shilens, Derek Hagan are all good receivers. You might not recognize the names, this team is loaded.

Ford is already miles ahead of Devin Hester the WR because catching the ball comes naturally to him. Not many WRs can go over the top and snatch the ball away from a CB like Ford did in the KC game last year. Moss has never been a strength guy and Gaffney? How about being nonexistent for the Patriots as their #3 before finally producing because Josh McDaniels loves to pass a lot.

He has remarkable concentration and hand-eye coordination and has actual hands.

Yes I watch Oakland a lot and I do like ford guys but I'm not talking speed I'm talking production at WR and he's still unproven
