Agree with mrplow3 about Culpepper:
he’d be a great back-up option to consider. Was a Raider for a year and during that losing season, won game in K.C., I think. Kiffin was coach, though, and juggled between Culpepper and McCown — despite Culpepper playing better than McCown in pre-season.

I hope no one considers Jeff (JERK) George. Farve still has gas in his tank especially with a running game and some young hungary receivers who are fast. DHB has really had a good year so far and shows a lot of promise. It would be interesting if Farve bites.

Garrard would be the choice but only if he’s willing to play..there’s nothing worst than a player with no heart.

Garrard would be decent if healthy…
Carson Palmer would be good if at the right price..

Please say no to the following:
T. Edwards
J. McCown
K. Orton

Would be fun to bring Favre in.. Even if he didnt do much, at least the post-game pressers would be entertaining!!

I think the you could get McNabb for an 8th round draft pick.

Carson is the answer if hue can get mike brown to do a trade. Garrard certainly is no worse than Jason Campbell who is a caretaker qb. Boller has a bad rep that is mostly undeserved. He never had a good line in bmore with the exception of John Ogden. And his receivers in general sucked. We had very little in skill position players when he was the qb

Any other out of work quarterback agents want to leak a rumor to get their client some press?

Carson Palmer with the Raiders would be real sweet! Make the move John Madden.

Can we please get a post about Favre already? You know espn would love to talk Favre all week instead of the Jim v Jim post game melee. Give Boller the KC game, no mistakes/turnovers and we’ll win because of Run DMC. Pryor gets first team reps through the bye week, takes on the mediocre Donkeys team, then an overhyped Dolts team. 7-2 with Pryor doesn’t sound unreasonable.

Shane Falco? You mean the guy who played in one bad nationally televised game in college, did poorly, and then didn’t go a highly drafted as he could have? But then when he got a chance he lead his team all the way?

hmmm. sounds like a QB out of Hawaii…

Boller will cost us the game next week, if he is the starter, he was to nervous yesterday, which should not be the case if you want to be a starter, he try to run a few times (what 4?) Better off letting Pryor start if we want a tuck & run QB!!!

Vince young for a 6th round pick. Get it done

This is a huge blow to Jason Campbell because if Oakland was to make the playoffs, they would have gave him a big contract in the off-season and truth be told, he doesn’t deserve that. Campbell is average at best and is not the long term answer at QB for the Raiders.

An absolute no brainer. With Garrard, the Raiders win the AFC west.

Mike, can you check out Cutler to Oakland rumor. Currently plays in Martz’ Coryell system like Raiders run under Al Saunders.

Sign Troy Smith so he can finally beat out Boller for a starting qb job like he tried so hard to do in Baltimore. Also Smith and Pryor could work well together since they are both ex OSU problems.

The Raiders have taken all the retreads from the Midatlantic: Jason Campbell Redskins, Boller Ravens..Therefore perhaps the Raiders should go after Retread V2. They should like at Troy Smith or Donovan McNabb. Troy has the best 40 time, so maybe best go with him!

By: mrplow3

mrplow3 — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 15:51:01 +0000

“How about McNabb?”

Probably because the Raiders want an UPGRADE from Boller, not a downgrade.

Raiders have two options here.

1) Committ to Kyle Boller as the starter and sign Trent Edwards as the 3rd QB or 2nd until Pryor gets up to speed on the offense.

2) Make a deal for Palmer or sign David Garrard. I don’t think Denver will trade Orton within the division. If Palmer/Garrard play well and lead the Raiders to the playoffs- they’re the starter next year. Campbell is not a franchise QB and is a FA after the season.

One good thing about not having a super stud as your QB (Brady, Rodgers, P. Manning) is if he does down you aren’t totally dependant on the QB and thus screwed.

Kyle Orton has a neckbeard and will presumably ruin Oakland.
Hence the Trojan Horse aspect.

What is a “neckbearded Trojan Horse,” anyway? Sorry I’m not to date on all the lingo.
————–

Orton has or is capable of having a disgusting neckbeard…. a trojan horse means something you welcome into your home but ultimately ends up destroying you.

they could do worse than Garrard, but i dont think they an do worse than Boller.

Raiders will miss the playoffs yet again.
