Carson Palmer will be a Raider

Best tradition:... I have to go with the Oakland Raiders. How can that be disputed? ...Everyone equates the colors Silver and Black with the Raiders. There’s Al Davis, who has been with the franchise for 48 years. There are all the great Hall of Fame players,...There’s the three Super Bowl titles. You think of the AFC West, and you think of the Raiders.

Cincy definately got the better part of this deal..If Cincy hits on those picks they are sitting pretty to wreak havic in the AFC for some time to come.. Palmers play has regressed in recent years but take into account that Chad Johnson's play has been horrible in Cincy as of late and only has 9 catches so far this year in NE.
I'm sure that the Raiders looked at this intelligently and realized the fact they are a young team and can afford to blow a 1st and 2nd rounder (possible 1st rounder in 2013 if they reach the third round in playoffs) and still remain competetive. They have young talent at just about every skill position and all they need is a QB to get them over the hump then why not roll the dice. Plus given the fact that both Palmer and the HC have worked together over the years is a nice fit.
It's football time in KC!
I knew this whole thing about Al was just a publicity stunt. He's still in control!

If Palmer starts, it could throw a hitch in our plans. We haven't planned for Palmer. We're expecting Campbell. The change could make things tough.
But lets face it.....THIS IS RAIDERS WEEK!!!!!!!
And it also happens to be a game we MUST WIN!!!!!!!
KILL RAIDERS!!! KILL RAIDERS!!!! KILL RAIDERS!!!!!
If we beat the damned filthy Raiders then we are 3-3 and still in the hunt. If we lose to these rotten little thugs then all we have to talk about is next year.
This is the most important game of the season so far!
KILL RAIDERS!!!!!!

Raiders gave up way too much. If they don't win the SB, this is a horrible deal.

The Raiders have essentially no draft picks next year. Tell me that Terrell Pryor pick wasn't a waste...glad Palmer gets to play again though. Could you blame him for wanting to leave Cincinnati?

He will be the #2 QB next season I would assume. Since for the most part the Raiders #1 picks havn't panned out anyways and with no GM in place yet who knows how their 2012 draft is going to go if they had that first round pick.

Although they haven't had much time to practice with him either.If Palmer starts, it could throw a hitch in our plans. We haven't planned for Palmer. We're expecting Campbell. The change could make things tough.

My face when I heard they traded a first round pick and potentially another one:
Man, this year they might do OK with palmer (if he gets his mojo back) but after this year it's over for the raiders. With only 2 picks next year (not including their 1st rounder. YESSS) they aren't getting any new young talent from anywhere. They might be in the same situation the following year too. I think Al would be shaking his head if he was still around.

I disagree with ya on that. One man's trash is Big Al's tressure. Thats what he has done for years, taken all the hand me downs, one's nobody wants, and for the most part he was pretty good at it. I don't think Palmer will be in this week unless Boller really sucks. It will be intresting to see how all this plays out.
