So, the Raiders still make idiotic moves without Al Davis...

Lunatic:
A first and second round pick for Carson Palmer?!? Wow  ::)

It's a shame. I like this franchise but c'mon.

Man On The Moon:
If they win a playoff game that second round pick becomes a first round pick in 2013.

Which is an expensive price. But at the same time, if they win a playoff game, it means this deal worked out.

I just think a first & second rounder for an injury prone QB on the wrong side of 30 who struggled in his last season or two, that's just crazy expensive.

Man On The Moon:
I agree, not a very smart move.

Shallow:
I think it's a great move. Hard to believe they may give up two first round picks but it's all in here and Hue thinks an elite level QB will make the difference. I've got a lot of faith in Carson as a pocket passer behind and incredible run game, and he's always played well in those situations, especially with no diva WRs in Oakland. Basically if Cinci ends up with a top 10 2012 and a top 5 second round pick in 2013 it was the dumbest move the raiders ever did. But if Cinci ends up with the 28th or 29th pick in rounds 1 of 2012 and 2013 then it's a better move than any of Al's big gambles, and if Cinnci ends up with the 32nd pck in next year's draft it's the smartest move of all time by Hue Miller.

Now  still don't think they have a shot at beating GB but I think Carson is the only available QB good enough to give them a shot at beating anyone else come January.
