What was Oakland thinking? Anyone that has watched football the past few years has noticed Carson Palmers dead arm. Dude can't throw deep anymore. Should've stuck with what they had or found someone else and drafted a QB with their first round pick.

Big mistake
Cincy so good now without himComment -
Going to be very interesting to see how the Raiders season turns out. Never really followed the Bengals or Palmer so was a little surprised to learn the guy is only 31, you would think he still had something left in the tank. Seriously though, what other options did the Raiders really have? I think the move allows them to finish with a decent record instead of just throwing in the towel.Comment -
He is scared shit,,,cannot win playing like that
They are lucky they have McFadden who is a fukkin studComment -
carson palmer is worse than alex smith, if thats possible. worst trade in the history of the nflComment -
he will put up good numbers for raiders
He is better than Campbell and Boller
Cincy got better deal but still good for raidersComment -
Jump on Oak now before the ATS goes up to 7 this is FREE $$$$$$$$$ .........

If the Raiders traded for Tom Brady it would be a failure because it's the Raiders. Palmer is having a pro bowl caliber season and has been prolific in recent years so I am almost positive this will turn out for the best.Comment -
Was Palmer ever even that good in the NFL anyways? Overrated and now on the decline too.Comment -
Palmer did have a dead arm "last year"
who knows maybe the rest in the off-season and working out made his arm strong again. We shall see. If not Raiders have Pryor to fall back on.Comment -
Completely agree with you, he's just a shell of his former self. Some clown on here yesterday said he was better than rivers

There is no dead arm in football. He is throwing a football and not a cannon ball.Comment -
This is typical Raiders though, isn't it? Even with Al Davis alive they've always loved to roll the dice and take chances (I'm not a fan of the team btw so I'm not saying it's a good trade they made). At the end of the day, they want to win now and Kyle Boller clearly isn't the answer for getting there. They overpaid for Palmer but one thing I thought to myself: Is Campbell now done in Oakland? He's just a benchwarmer now imho.Comment -
The Raiders don't need that much out of him.
Jason Campbell is worthless, so Palmer just has to be slightly better than him.Comment -
Its hard to judge on what Palmer will show up, I think you can just 'throw' last year stats out, because obviously Palmer was not in it to win it. He wanted out as fast as he can. Can you blame the dude?Comment -
Its pretty funny that all the oakland fans on here are going crazy with excitement, i feel like nobody has watched palmer since 2006Comment -
They should have got McNabb.Comment -
haters guuuuuna hateComment -
It's not dead arm. MLB pitchers get dead arm. Carson palmer has a degenerative elbow problem that rendered him an average qb. Raiders are screwed and I can't believe they didn't see how weak his arm is because of that throwing elbow problem.Comment -
He said in a news conference his arm is back to full strength after working it out and these 6 weeks have been hard on him not being able to play. Has been working out non stop too. TJ Housh has been working out with him and said he looks as good as he did before he went down in the playoffs against the Steelers. So we will see. Who knows...
GO BENGALS!!!!!Comment
