Do I think Pryor is better than Palmer? Who knows, we havent seen Pryor on the field in a regular season game yet… Really cant be much worse… Plus a mobile QB can make up a little for a porous O-line.. Palmer stands in the pocket too long and NEVER runs with it…

Lets see what the boy has!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless he is in an offense where passing is not important and he plays in the Wildcat. He sure can run with the football.

If you’d watch the games, you’d see that Palmer’s receivers cannot catch even the best thrown ball. Palmer’s O-Line is constantly flagged for offsides and holding, leading to many 3rd and longs. Knapp’s system screwed the running game over by running a scheme that doesn’t fit the personnel. Throw in a defense that can’t stop anyone, and the pressure all falls on Palmer to bail them out. Truth is, there is little to no talent on the Raiders because of Davis’ mismanagement of the cap and poor drafting. Given Palmer’s #’s this season, he would be going to the Pro Bowl if he were on a team with a better record and supporting cast. End of story.

He may be better suited at WR or maybe a RB. Has any considered these positions besides QB? Give him some playing time and see what he can to and what position suites him better. Don’t let Prior dictate where he’s going to play. How many players came in the league to only be in a different playing position.

I think AL may have gotten this one right. Dont we all wish we had an ounce of this kids resume or physical skills.
Neither you nor I nor any of the critics on here will know until we give him a chance –which is really all we are asking for. He is an exciting prospect.
Iv’e been around a long time and can remember in the mid 80s another physically gifted athlete who it seems EVERYONE said was a wasted pick by Al. He turned out to be maybe the most exciting Raider ever. I’m hoping in his last act Al did it again.

Give the kid a chance on the field before you kill his dreams…

When he runs he becomes BEYOND dangerous as the whole D must change to keep him from running wild. I wish him well.

You mean Cincinnati’s assitant defensive backs coach? The team went 1-4 to end the season and choked away a playoff berth. He’s got no one else to blame but himself for the tank job and claiming he’s gonna have a hand in hiring a GM.

With that said, Raiders aren’t trying out Pryor to start. They want to see if he’s even worth 2nd or 3rd spot at QB. I’d like to see him succeed but he had 2 good plays in the preseason and had monster problems just getting plays off in the huddle.

I doubt that he can be even a marginally decent QB in this league. And Pryor refuses to let the team utilize his non-QB athletic talent by switching positions.

But I actually think that it would be a good thing to give him some series so that he can confirm to Allen & McKenzie that he’s not a viable backup. That way the team can focus on obtaining a decent #2 QB in the offseason.

(I wish we still had Campbell or even Gradkowski)

Kind of funny that just as I predicted, Pryor would be warming up in the bullpen by mid-season because this new coach would be a disaster.

As a Raider fan an OSU fan, TP is a great athlete, but he can not pass the football.

funny I could have sworn he passed for almost 3000 yards his junior and final year at OSH. just fyi he threw for more yards than collin klien who is up for the heisman this year.

With that said Allen does nothing to sell tickets…shows no emotion after being blown out every game, same ol stuff in the press conference. If he is back next year, knapp better be gone, or zero chance of me renewing my season tickets….at least gruden would create a sense of “hope” , fill the house, and get O.co rocking again…I mean if you are a freee agent, are you going to want to sign here?

He’s likely worth more as a mystery.

I know that you are often paying your starters alot of money, but what is the point of running people out who’ve already proven they can’t win, while all of your young players sit on the sideline getting zero game experience.

I mean, I can see why the coaches do it- they are trying to save their jobs and/or pad their resumes with meaningless wins. This is the best and only argument for firing coaches during the season.

Any team that has 4 wins or less at this point and ISN’T giving their younger players playing time is only setting themselves up for continued future failure.

He had his moments. Unless he has made leaps forward, passing the football will be interesting. With that being said, this the right move. Carson is never going to be the answer at QB. Let TP play and see if Reggie can get us some players.

His senior year he led both his football team and basketball team to PA state titles. It was amazing how much better he was than every other player on the field/court. In football they enacted the mercy rule in every game they played all year, even the state championship. No one could challenge him.

He was good, but wasn’t quite as sensational in college. Then his career there ended on a bad note. Still, I say play him. I’ve always wondered what he could bring to the NFL.

Might as well throw the last games for a higher draft position. Reminds me of what Matt Millen did in Detroit. It will take a few years to get back to .500. Glad I am not a Raiders fan.

——————————————–
Raiders aren’t losers, Al Davis was just an idiot who needed to be replaced in the end. He ruined the raiders by picking players with MAJOR character issues and they turned out to be huge busts. Jerry Jones is doing the same thing with the Cowboys he needs to hire a real GM. As for the raiders another rebuilding process must be very annoying for fans, they had some many chances over the last few years with alot of high picks to build a franchise but they couldn’t and now it will be a while until we see them in the playoffs.
