True (about Dalton being low-rated), but the Bengals offense's ranking is not worse than the Palmer-led offense last year. In fact it is doing a better job scoring points (ranking 16th vs. last year's 22nd) while being a smidgen worse in yardage (22nd vs. 20th.)

Palmer had to deal with half his team getting arrested, suspended, fined, ect. He had to have wondered WTF.

SHOULD I PICK HIM UP IN FFL? WILL HE START THIS WEEKEND?

NICE pickup!

When he was healthy is was excellent. Too many variables to know if it was a good deal. Still, if he plays well the Raiders are nowhere near good enough to make it to the SBowl. How many years does Palmer have left 2-3? And they gave up 2 First round picks! Cinn got the best out of that deal for sure.

I like this trade

Hue Jackson announced it as the great NFL trade ever.

I dont know about that but a good trade IMO.

Completely disagree about Dalton. He is right in the middle of QBs with 84.3 rating, right around guys like Vick and Rivers. He has better numbers than Bradford did at the same juncture last year and everyone slobbered him. For all the attention Newton is getting, Dalton has been the superior QB.

Horrible trade for the Raiders. Not that Carson is a bad QB or won't help the the team, but a 1st in 2012 and a 2nd in 2013 is WAAAY too much to give up for him. A 3rd or even possibly a 2nd is the most they should have given up.

They do realize that he hasn't played all season, right? I know he's a vet but he still needs time to get in football shape, learn the offense, get in sync with the players, etc.

Mike Brown wouldnt have traded him away for anything less than what he got.

No. If Campbell didn't get injured, this trade doesn't happen. Sounds like Raiders HC Jackson did most of the convincing for Oakland's FO to agree to make this trade. Simply put, Raiders were desperate and there is more high risk than high rewards with this trade. Brown just got lucky someone was foolish enough to offer a 1st and 2nd round pick. Doubt it becomes two first rd picks because Raiders will NOT reach the AFC Championship game this year or next.

Most of? He did all the convincing. He was the one who recruited Palmer to USC when Jackson was with USC.

No big surprise, but Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer is expected to start Sunday versus the Chiefs.

The Raiders only need to win a playoff game (which they could do if they meet the Titans or Texans in the playoffs) to lose another 1st round draft pick. Very steep trade terms, IMO.

Regardless of what will happen, the sure winner is Mike Brown. In the worst case, he gets a 1st late round pick for a player he won't have anymore anyway. And he got to punish Palmer financially - according to the report, Palmer would have made more than $12 million this year, but with the trade, he'd only make $2.5 million. The most painful best case's scenario would be for the Palmer-led Raiders to beat his team if they meet in the playoffs.
