Message: [QUOTE="Divebitch, post: 1804563, member: 39020"] Yeah, the Raiders paid a lot, but it was a seller's market. Sadly, at the other end of the best QB option out there was Mike Brown, who is [B]always[/B] bound and determined to not budge. Really, can you think of a better option out there? Wake up and smell Kyle F*****g Boller. Ewww that smell. They're 4-2 in their crappy (yay for them) division, as good a start as my recent memory can recall, and they wanna win NOW. Age 31 is not an issue at QB if healthy. The more experience the better, and he can easily have at LEAST another 5 years in the tank. He performed well (over 4,000 yds in '09, or was that last year???) despite their losing ways. Palmer wasn't the only one who wanted out of that ill-managed anarchy. Personally, I think it was a mistake putting T.O. and Ocho together, then putting up with their reality TV distractions. Look at Pacman Jones [URL]http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/10/pacman-back-in-handcuffs/[/URL] Jerome Simpson [URL]http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d822750c8/article/feds-home-of-bengals-simpson-a-pot-distribution-center[/URL] Then Cedric Benson, who just got out of a 3 game suspension [URL]http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d8233d417/article/bensons-threegame-suspension-reduced-to-one-game-fine[/URL] These are not bit players on the team, but there are a couple others, too. They can't stay out of trouble, like teens gone wild. You don't see that anywhere else. Can you imagine in your wildest dreams chit like this going on in New England!?!?? But I digress. lol With the lockout, he's not THAT far behind a lot of QBs either finally getting their rookie starts, or moved to a new team. And a perfect situation in terms of 1) timing, as they have a bye week 8, and 2) he can be eased in with their solid running game. Gesshoo, I heard Palmer will be the starter THIS week, that's right, in 3 days. And Jamesdabear, Zach Miller was a great loss, but we haven't seen what Jacoby Ford can do in the passing game vs. returns/special teams duty, and rookie Denarius Moore who's doing great. Bottom line, I think Palmer will do better in a Raider uniform than 1) Campbell did in one, 2) he did in a Bengals one. Maybe not week 7, but it will happen. [/QUOTE]
