Good Point about Luck, especially if it's the Colts at #1.

I wonder how the offense will react from going to a mobile QB to a guy who's like a statue back there.

There had to be much better/cheaper options out there than Palmer. Besides, what do they do with Campbell next year after giving up 2 potential #1 picks?

They can't even justify this with they want to win now line. Palmer hasn't played in 10 months, I don't care how much he has been working out and he is coming into a new system. I'm waiting for a report that this is a Sid-Finch like hoax. It is that bad a deal.

They should have went after Matt Flynn, he's one the most capable backups in the league.

I think I would have rather give him another chance versus giving up 2 #1's for Carson Palmer.

I would of tried to throw money at Brett Farve first before pulling off this trade, thats alot to give up on a Carson Palmer who for the most part has underachieved his whole career.

To do what? There will have to be a dozen or more starters brake down before Russell gets a call, you will probably never see him in the NFL again. I was being serious about Flynn, I think he could cut it. I think any team that realized the situation the Raiders are in would have gone after those picks, that's all they had to offer. It is a steep price to pay, but Oakland has to preserve the decent start they have and the good prospects of winning the division.
