Comments on: Cardinals are expected to target a quarterback, but who?

This is silly, Raiders can afford to keep Palmer. If Palmer restructures it’s a pay cut. There is no reason to backload a contract on an older player like Branch. Branch is a young up and comer, and would be smart to lock him up long term. Palmer is closer to retiring than anything else. If Palmer restructures Raiders are just delaying the inevitable. Either the Raiders get a 2nd from Arizona or they are keeping Palmer. Raiders aren’t cutting him, regardless of he takes a pay cut or not.
Like some have said, it’s 9m to cut him. 13 to keep him. 9m to cut him. You can’t even sign a decent back up with the difference. It frees up 4m in cap space, but so what? Your position determines pay, that extra 4m wouldn’t do squat knowing the fact that you have to sign another guy to replacement even if Pryor is a capable starter. Heck, consider this Matt Moore inked a 2 year 8m contract to be a back up. I rather have Palmer and Pryor, than a rookie and someone with just 1 start.

The cardinals have reached out to the broncos for Osweiler. Denver wants a 1st round pick in 2013, Arizona is offering a 1st round in 2014.

Ok why is everyone bashing on phillyphil005? Oakland hasn’t had a winning record in ten years. The Eagles have had plenty of those. Quit clinging on your past, Raider fans. It doesn’t matter now. You’re one of the worst teams in the league.
—————
We’re bashing him because he ran his mouth, moron. Don’t you know how it works? Somebody talks about your favorite team, you talk about theirs. We know our team sucks. It’s the law of averages. But if a fan of a team that hasn’t won a title since well before the merger gives some, that fan is going to catch some. Nobody cares about winning records that don’t lead to trophies.

Oakland won’t cut Palmer. They would be sitting on 9M in dead cap money. 9 to cut him, or 13 to play him. And they can’t reach for a QB with the 3rd pick, so they can’t just trade him for a bag of balls and leave Pryor as the only option.

I can already hear the conversation: Arians: I’m so happy to be HC, what’s the deal with the Oline? Steve: we have a solid oline, I’ve been here for years and we invested in Levi Brown, Nate Potter & Bobbie Massie we’re good there! Bidwill: they’re cheap too! Arians: Really? Steve: Yes, I scouted them myself! Bidwill: and their cheap too! Arians: I’m soo happy to be HC Steve: you already said that. Bidwill: you were cheap too! Steve: that was rude Bidwill: you were also cheap! Steve: anyways, lets cut kolb & draft a QB! Arians: Im a QB guru Bidwill: that sounds expensive! Arians: I’m a QB guru. Steve: you already said that.

It’s all speculation! But we know the facts…here they are: #1 The Cardinals are dumb & desperate! #2 New GM Steve Keim has been w/Cards for 14 years in front office/scouting dept. (thanks for passing on Adrian Peterson Steve!) #3 Arians is a QB guru, not an Oline guru #4 Big Ben & Andrew Luck were always running for their lives #5 Bidwill is cheap! All of the above makes for a dangerous combination of decision makers for this organization. It will be a train wreck…again!

Palmer did us a favor, Dalton has accomplished more as the leader with less on Offense than he ever did, He and his cement feet is not missed here,

Raiders fans, we here in Cincinnati do nothing to you but yet all you do is bash us, I respect your past seeing as that you guys will always be affiliated with one of my fav coaches in J. Madden but thats where this ends… We didn’t force you to take Palmer, you fell in love with the moment and did it.. You throw his stats out like he made a difference an not mentioning that most of his yards account in blowout losses… Kirkpatrick had a setback this year, but he’s a physical freak, former All-American standing at 6’2 almost 6’3… he would be a HUGE upgrade if you guys kept the pick.. After all it took Nnamdi a couple years to develop after switching from Safety… Dalton did look bad but this is his second year, M. Ryan didn’t even score in the playoffs a couple years ago.. And please get your facts right, Cincy fans ran Palmer out of town, we booed him late in games and also threw trash on his lawn.. His wife didn’t appreciate it, so he left.

It’s GM Steve Keim’s first off season, no one knows what they’re going to do.

All this talk about how the Cards have always sucked etc, is just rehashing history. It’s there, absolutely, but it’s a new regime now. Better or worse, we’ll have to see, but looking at the past is pointless.

They know “get Larry Fitzgerald the ball” is the stone tablet from the mountaintop.

If I were a Cards fan, I’d want to pick up Carson and draft a good RB. That team has a great WR, a good TE and a solid defense. A solid QB and RB would make that team dangerous. As a Bengals fan, I didn’t appreciate Carson quitting so he could get back out the WC, but I have to admit he’s a solid QB if he can find a team with talent and good coaching.

It’s funny … why does everyone want the Raiders to cut Palmer or trade him?
Fact morons … without Palmer the Raiders would have been 0-16 … with any decent coach the Raiders would have been at least a .500 team.
Only the haters want Palmer gone so the Raiders can be at the bottom of the division for another 10 years … after all … it only took the Raiders more than 10 years to find a QB … if they would stop getting QBs like JaMarcus, Campbell or Brooks and get ones with brains who can actually read defences … they should be alright.
Yes we know … RG3 ,Wilson , Kaepernick had a great year with the read options … flash in the pan.
Not trying to play the race card here but I find really strange how any black QB has one good stats year and he put on a pestal and in the HOF yet vetern QBs who have played for awhile and ARE proven get trashed.

Palmer > Stanton, Cassell, Kolb, & half the starting qbs in the NFL

CINCY fans…who did u draft with that 1st round pick last year? How’d he do? Answer that one plz. Also, its pretty telling when a player would rather retire than play for your team. Great u got something for him, but thats pretty embarrassing

Az needs a lot more then a qb….but if I was gm I would get jason campbell who is excellent when he can play and draft geno smith.

By: myosin10

Why wouldn’t they draft one? Geno Smith Matt Barkley or one of the others?

I dont know only skeleton fits arians bill for a QB, big strong arm. Hopefully he trades for Foles for a 2 cuz i dont see Foles staying in philly in Chips offense.

Tebow seems to make sense in Arizona, especially short term. He doesn’t need much of a pass protecting line, because he is mobile. He fits in a more spread system, like Arians runs. And, he will come cheap and without too long of a contract attached. Make it happen.

Someone should seriously consider getting Colt McCoy out of Cleveland. I’m telling you that the team was such a mess that the coaches didn’t even have an idea what they were doing. Colt has been a man and kept his mouth shut. I say the kid can play. I have no doubt.

Remember when Raider fan was trying to convince everyone that the Palmer trade was a good deal?

Face it, the Bengals held you down and took your lunch money.

————————————

Carson Palmer in 2012:
4,018 yards and 22 TD passes (in 14 games)

Dre Kirkpatrick (1st rounder Cincy took via that trade) in 2012:
4 tackles, 0 INTs, 0 sacks

LMAO!!!!!!!

Thanks for playing.

P.S. – Andy Dalton (fewer yards, more INTs than Palmer last year) looked great in that playoff game.

Buh bye.

Raider fans are much like steeler fans as they talk about how good they were….. IN THE 70′s give me a break already! Fact is the raiders are a train wreck and have been for a long time. Even before the bengals fleeced them in the Palmer deal. The raiders made Mike Brown look like a genius, that’s hard to do.

Cardinals should trade for Ben Roethlisberger. Steelers would get tons of high quality draft picks and Ben is reunited with Bruce Arians.
