Carson Palmer to Oakland Raiders for 1st/2012

People judged this trade to soon, you can't expect a QB who's been sitting for 1.5 years come in and perform a miracle. As Palmer learns the offense the Raiders will play better and be contenders, I still think it was a good trade for the Raiders.

Good trade for OAK still, better trade for CIN in the long run. Unless of course OAK wins the big game...

I didn't think Carson had a single good game left in him. I stand corrected. I still think they will be few and far between though. Cincinnati wins.

Bengals won this trade folks yeah palmer had a good game last night but his first 2 were bad, ntm he's getting older and hasn't really played well in a few years, I still think SD wins the west at 9-7

Palmer seems to be getting up to speed pretty quick, and his arm looks strong.

Man he looked really sharp last night. Still think they gave up too much, but if the Raiders make a push into the playoffs the next two years, might be worth it.

So THAT'S what it looks like to hit a deep ball in stride...

And maybe Moore was making Candle look good instead of the other way around. ;)

The only way the Raiders win this trade is if they win the SB, which they won't. However, if Palmer continues to play at a high level for the next 3 years, they are in good shape. Oakland is a young team, and given the AFC West's situation, barring anything crazy, they could be a playoff team for the next couple of seasons.

How was Palmer "sitting for 1.5 years?"

He played last year; he "sat" during the offseason the way every NFL player "sat" during the offseason. He missed training camp (4 weeks) and the first 6 weeks of the NFL season. :confused:
