I thought they’d move him for like a 5th…this guy has sucked for a while.

That Bears trade for Cutler is looking awfully good right now…

Mike Brown on the GOOD end of a ripoff? Frost warning issued in Hell

Great move by Hue! Carson is a top ten Qb who needed a change of scenery! Hes in the prime of his career, he knows the offense, he familiar with the coach. The Raiders are primed to make the playoffs this year and I couldn’t be happier about the trade.

They said we gave up too much for Seymour, looks they were wrong!

Just win baby!

Who cares about 1st rounders anyway… We havent had the best of luck with them… Take a proven commodity (at least I hope he is) over a huge question mark anyday…
If you have as much talent as the Silver & Black, who needs draft picks anyway??

Go for broke in 2011, Hue… Al wouldve done the same!!

GO RAIDERS!!!!

wow, stiff price for an aging QB whose passer rating hasn’t sniffed 90 since 2006.

The Raiders are desperate, this is a panic move. They only need a middling QB who defenses will respect enough to give DMC a bit of room. They must think they’re getting something much more at that price, but mediocrity is what Palmer is all about.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about the 2 draft picks we will recover for losing Nnamdi and Miller, I believe a 3rd and 4th rounder. Sure, we are low on picks but most of our best draft picks recently have come in the later rounds anyway.

I’m a big fan of Campbell, he’s been solid this season but teams didn’t respect Oaklamd’s passing game. With Palmer, they will. I also remember most were upset about the Seymour trade at the time and that turned out great for Oakland. Most of all, I love Hue’s this team is ready to win now mentality.

Please don’t do it. Not for 2 first round picks, that’s ridiculous.

If there is that little faith in Boller, then why did he even make the roster? Bad move Hue, bad move. I hope Amy Trask slaps some sense into him and Mark Davis. Please abort this move immediately.

Oh, and the Raiders will be getting at least one compensatory pick for losing Asomugha, Miller and Gallery to free agency. Most likely a 3rd rounder. But that’s no excuse to give up one, potentially two first rounders for Palmer who hasn’t played in so long. And who was pretty sub-par the last time he hit the field.

Hey RaiderNation, are you sure you want a Quitter? Do you think he will have any credibility in the locker room? This guy ranks with Ricky Williams who took off two years to smoke dope. This is also the same guy who threw SIX pick-sixes last year and in general has never played up to his hype.

Desperation.

A first rounder and a conditional first rounder?

Desperation.

This is a win-win situation if it allows the Raiders to acquire Palmer and it forces Pryor to move to WR or TE.

If Palmer ends up winning a Super Bowl with the Raiders, is it still too much to pay?

You can’t rate a trade the second it happens, you have to give it time.

*******************************************

Honestly now Joe,

Are YOU happy with giving up 2 first round picks for a QB on the wrong side of his career?

Doesn’t that seem kinda like going all in with a 7 of hearts and 3 of clubs?

Congrats to the Raiders for making the Bengals a team to be taken seriously for the foreseeable future.

What does it say about the Bengals, if Palmer sees going to the Raiders as moving to a better organization?

Seems like a lot of folks here don’t realize Hue Jackson was in Cincy and that Palmer may not have to learn a new system…

May get OchoCinco here too.

I guess Brown is not as dumb as I thought he was. Way too much to give for Palmer. Will be interesting to see which team goes farther over the next 5 yrs. I’d have to vote Bengals.

Hue is conjuring the spirit of Al Davis sending multiple picks for an over rated player.

By: turbodog1027

A 1st rd pick for Palmer?????
Al Davis must be still running this team from the grave.

YES!!! For all you Mike Brown Haters….suck it! Mike Brown has been a whipping boy for fair weather Bengal fans. (i.e) you all wanted his head for loosing TJ and Rudi Johnson – where are they now? Great move… whoo dey!

WOW!! This would be HUGE for Raider Nation.. The fact that Hue has worked with him before and Carson would somewhat know parts of his offensive scheme helps the learning process a lot.

—————————————

You obviously haven’t watched a Bengals in several years. Carson Palmer has been bad for awhile now, and he had better WRs in Cinci then he will have in Oakland. Not to mention the fact that he is over 30 and has sustained some pretty bad injuries in his career.

You’ll hate this trade come playoff time when the Raiders are sitting at home.

Merely just gonna look at the positives (very hard to do in the case of the Raiders) for the 2 teams of this trade.

WOW!! The Bengals are set up for a decent future if they can hit on these next upcoming drafts, high draft picks are even greater when you ship expendable players.

Carson seems like the perfect leader for that young offensive unit too and brings unquestioned stability at the QB spot.

2 first round picks for palmer? does this organization really feel like setting themselves back even further?
your roster will not reach the superbowl, let alone win it, and now you will have no picks in the first 5 rounds next year and no first the year after.

By: ninersforlife15

ninersforlife15 — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 14:41:11 +0000

I don’t understand the raiders……… The reason they are 4-2 is not because of “Great” quarterback play, it is because of Darren McFadden and a great run game along with a good defense. So why would you go ship away a first rounder with possibly a future pick as well? Going out and getting Palmer (who hasn’t seen action since last season) is, for that price, not a good decision. It will change the make-up of that team and they could get away with what’s working for them. You might as well just sign a free agent for a lot cheaper because in the long run they (Palmer or a free agent qb) will have to learn the system and progress week from week, the difference is that you don’t have to give an arm and a foot for a free agent qb in the middle of the year. This is why the Raiders continue to miss the playoffs every year.

its offical now, Raiders413 broke this story last night, Lombardi proves again he knows NOTHING about the Raiders..

@cuda1234

take it from a Raven’s fan. Boller is THAT bad! I would give a first round pick to get Curtis Painter if it meant not starting Boller. Ok not really, but I’d consider a 2nd round pick for Painter. lol

The Bengals now have the comfort of knowing that their new QB is talented and winning games for them so the Bengals owner SHOULD let Palmer move on….

At this point, not trading Carson will be an act of pettiness on the owners part…. Pettiness is not a part of making good business decisions!!!
