Speaking of which, Arian Foster finishing 3rd in the league in rushing after playing 11.5 games. That's beast raping. I'll eat crow, I figured he was a one year wonder but I was dead wrong.wes_mantooth;1033429 wrote:Maybe because of the market, but this is the quietest rushing champion that I can remember.

So the Raiders have that going for them at least.PFT wrote:A positive for Oakland: The Raiders won’t send a second first-round pick to Cincinnati for Palmer now. They will “only” send a first and second-round pick. We guess that’s a positive.
Lol it was hilarious when idiots like skyhook and that one raiders fan was defending the trade. How many picks do they even have in this upcoming draft? What a joke.Mulva;1034230 wrote:So for those keeping track, Carson Palmer finished 4-5 as a starter (plus the 28-0 loss to KC in his 1st game where he came in for Boller) for Oakland with 13 TD and 16 INT. And they miss the playoffs.
But,

We will see how the trade pans next year when Palmer has a full pre season and training camp and McFadden comes back.like_that;1034252 wrote:Lol it was hilarious when idiots like skyhook and that one raiders fan was defending the trade.

Skyhook, you're actually thinking Palmer, at age 32, coming off a 16 INT season in only 10 games, is actually going to get better? You think even with a full off-season, he can take the Raiders anywhere? Maybe a division title in the pitiful AFC West, at-best, 10-6...but how much further than that? And IMO, that's the absolute BEST case scenario.Skyhook79;1034263 wrote:We will see how the trade pans next year when Palmer has a full pre season and training camp and McFadden comes back.
I wasn't that critical of him, maybe the last 2 years but there were extenuating circumstances too with the Ocho/TO stuff. Palmer still has the arm and he put up a lot of yards this year with no training camp/pre-season and sitting 9 months. Yeah he threw some picks but i expect them to be the favorites for the Division next year. Thats an improvement for the Raiders. McFadden is going to open up a lot for Palmer. The dude can still play.Azubuike24;1034277 wrote:Skyhook, you're actually thinking Palmer, at age 32, coming off a 16 INT season in only 10 games, is actually going to get better?

You were critical as hell of Palmer in Cincinnati...all you did was diss him. What's changed?
The exact argument I made with Tom Brady and Matt Cassel. You disagreed.Skyhook79;1033610 wrote:Matt Flynn throws 6 TD passes. Maybe Rodgers isn't the clear cut MVP if a back-up can come in and do something Favre or Rodgers never did.

Id say Bush did a damn good job "opening up a lot" for Palmer and he still blew.Skyhook79;1034298 wrote:I wasn't that critical of him, maybe the last 2 years but there were extenuating circumstances too with the Ocho/TO stuff.
