Palmer deal done, Raiders trade him to Arizona for a bag of peanuts

[Miller]

So Arizona gets Palmer, who is no doubt an upgrade over thecrew they had. But how much better are they? Is Palmer a guy who can lead your team?

On the fantasy side, no one is happier than Fitzgerald's owners.

He is less mobile than what they had, so if they don't fix the O-line, he will just be laying down more, and doesn't really help Fitz.

ouch... the worst o line in the nfc west is not where i would want to go

 

[Miller]

I hope he gets pounded behind that line.....karma is a b.....you get the picture.

But bad line or not, hes still an upgrade and will be better able to get Fitz the ball. I do agree tjat for Fitz to fully play up to his talent, they need to fix the line.

By the way....the Bengals look like gold in this whole deal.

Like they didn't the second the deal was made?

My god, that was one of the great heists of all time and even the most novice of fans knew it. Since Oakland is the "other" local team in my area, the trade got a lot of play. The idiot coach (don't even remember him at this point) kept saying it would go down as one of the great trades of all time. He was right, but I'm fairly certain he meant for the Raiders.

 

[Miller]

Very true, but the more it develops the more I smile. Palmer showing his true cowardice was the best thing to happen to the Bengals franchise.

 

[gizzil]

not a lot of USC QBs of late have looked very good NFL wise, have they...

 

[cctekguy]

Got another one coming up, Giz.

Barkley is getting talked about.

 

[gizzil]

didnt he take the leinart special and stay longer than he had to?

 

[cctekguy]

Yep.

Saying it cost him value too.

Good riddance to C.Palmer and his $13 million salary, although M.Flynn has limited playing experience, he brings some upside to the Raiders, his age & that he played well in spot relief for A.Rodgers and free's up much needed salary cap money issues.
