Carson Palmer to Raiders

[Greenbean]

Seeing how NFL teams value draft picks, Im not sure any QB not named Brady, Manning, Brees, or Rodgers is worth that haul, never mind a guy who at his best was a fringe top ten-er. Last year he wasnt even in the top 15.

Do the Raiders ever want to pick in the first round?

They finally get back to a respectable level of football but they do not want to sustain it I guess...

That being said, The Raiders are a better team if they get Carson Palmer from 2010. Im am really low on Jason Campbell.

Btw, Raiders now don't have a pick in the first 4 rounds of next year's draft.

Yep and 3 of them went to 3 different QB's

That is amazing. Oh well. If at first you don't succeed trade trade trade

To be fair, Campbell got hurt and Pryor is a big time project, which they knew when they took him.

Add in Boller and JaMarcus Russell and you have just so much QB futility in so interesting a period of time.

And people make fun of Denver for drafting Tebow. Oakland would kill to have drafted Tebow.

Wow. They actually plan to start Carson this Sunday. That's just nuts.  idk. Maybe the guy can learn about 50 to 100 plays in 5 days.

If I'm Boller I'm pretty ticked and pretty nervous right about now

So they could have wasted the 1st round pick sooner?

Ha.

Somehow I don't think Tebow is the type of QB that the Raiders would ever draft. Take one look at the guys that Davis had either drafted or signed as free agents over the years and you'll see that he loved the big, cannon-armed guys who can throw the deep ball. (Most didn't work out but thats besides the point since we're looking at the Raiders evaluation of the QB positions)  Tebow doesn't exactly fit that mold, not with his arm.

Raiders actually haven't been that bad with first round picks over the last decade or so, outside of Jamarcus of course, who might very well be the worst draft pick in the history of the NFL.

I was talking about the two they gave to the Bengals.

Oh forgive me. Perhaps they should have traded for Jimmy Claussen. He was only a 2nd rounder. He should hit it big time any day now because all the experts loved him. And if he doesn't perform in 6 years Kiper is going to quit. He was THAT sure.

Tebow inspires fear in defenders. Carson Palmer and Kyle Orton don't. Neither does Colt McCoy and l like that guy

  Tebow completes less than half his passes. You might be exaggerating the fear aspect.

His team has no running game except him.  He is their best RB. 

For all Kyle Orton's 58.7% completion percentage he can't win.  Who gave them a better chance to win last game? Exactly.

Joe Flacco completes less than 52%. Kerry Collins and Blaine Gabbert are under 50%. Nobody says they can't play in this league. Gee. I wonder why.

I'm telling you right now. If various very good Qbs in this league made it clear they liked Jesus the critics would come out of the woodwork.  This is something that will follow Tim his whole career no matter how good he is

  Slow down on the caffeine. I didn't say he didn't belong in the league and my comments had nothing to do with his religion.

Joe Flacco is off to a slow start but his first three years in the league he was never below 60% on his completion percentage and his team is 4-1.  Kerry Collins was benched in favor of Curtis Painter.  Blaine Gabbert is a rookie on a terrible team who didn't have training camp and wasn't getting first team reps until 3 weeks ago.  Not exactly similar comparisons. 

I wouldn't exactly call Tebow a better runner then Willis McGahee, who is at 4.5 yards a carry and just under 400 yards.  Not too shabby.
