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

I thought acquiring Palmer in itself was worth a try, the Bengals organization was a mess to the point where Palmer didn't even want to play, so they probably figured he'd be better off with a fresh start. Also, not having McFadden hurts the Raiders offense as a whole. With that said, they gave up way too much to get him and he's played pretty badly, so all in all looking like a horrible move so far.

OG Jaydc:
I have no problem with Palmer and them getting him. But the price? Ridiculous. The jets aquired santonio Holmes, an elite receiver who is a super bowl MVP who made one of the all time great catches to win the superbowl for a 5th round pick. Carson Palmer is 0-2 in his career in the playoffs and has never done a single significant thing in his entire career except pad his regular season stats. And they gave up a 1st and 2nd round pick for him. That's the kind of trade that gets GM's fired.

At BEST Palmer was worth a 3rd round pick.

Fuck Your Existence:
i agree they gave up too much. he was kinda thrown in the middle of shit though. id give it another uninterrupted season before callin the move a bust. a full off season,training camp and pre-season to get everyone on the same page. its not like campbell was gonna take them anywhere anyway.

Lunatic:
I made this thread  8) lol

Shallow:
I still say Carson will be worth more than whoever Cinci ends up drafting in round 1 next year. The bad break came when losing McFadden. He was the offense Carson was just supposed to keep the defenses more honest by respecting the longer pass game. But since Carson and Darren have yet to play together at all yet I can't take anything I said back. Based on the upcoming schedules I expect Oakland to lose more games than Denver loses, but next year may end up being a completely different story if McFadden comes back healthy.
