Carson Palmer to Raiders???

...looks close to being done at this point.
1st round pick this year and conditional 1st next year

My take on it:
-that is waaaaay too much for an old, broken QB that is out of shape and doesn't know the system AND is owed a lot of money
-he has never been the same after the knee and arm injuries
-really only had a couple great years, rest have been okay to 'meh'

The raiders just can't help themselves

I forgot the Raiders are addicted to giving up first round picks for declining thirty-somethings. Just when they were becoming a respected franchise again, too bad.:lol:

WR's don't even do much when traded mid-season. TBH, I can't remember the last offensive player that was traded mid season and did anything of note ...now make that a QB that is out of shape and not very good post injuries You pick up who you want in your league. I am just saying that I would not pick him up unless I had 'nothing' at QBrawsavon

Please tell me the last offensive player to switch teams mid season and make an impact. ...also, how in shape do you think he is/how well do you think a QB will come in and play With your stats, you need to include the 3rd most picks as well (at least present a fair argument) I did not know apostle was in a 2 qb league. That means you need 20 in a 10 team league every week + everyone will have a 3rd for the bye week = pick him up But in a standard league, he would not be worth picking up IMOrawsavon

Carson's situation is kind of unprecedented, so there really isn't any references we have here.

I'm fairly certain Carson hasn't been drinking beer and chowing on nachos this whole time, I'd imagine he has been working out. He is a veteran, he knows the game, and the added incentive here is that he has something to prove.

INTs are hardly a factor in fantasy. Most leagues do not penalize them that hard.

I think the upside is too hard to pass up in this situation. I'm picking him up in a single QB, 12 team format. You don't think he'll be a top 25 QB after week 8 (factoring in his acclaimation to the offense, new receivers)?

The price seems a little steep, but the Raiders are in good position to make a run in the playoffs. With McFadden and the line doing their thing, it looks like they want to focus on winning now and in the near-future, rather than build for the long-term.

I don't think he will be a top 20 QB by the time the fantasy playoffs roll around
...BUT even if he is top 15, what does that get you???
You can only start 1 (in what we are talking about now). If there are only 10-12 qb's starting in your league come playoff time, what good is having the 15th best QB?

I see this all the time in fantasy. People jump on players that don't help their team

raiders were ripped off but they were pretty desperate.

The Raiders have upcoming games against Chicago, Minnesota, Green Bay, and Denver. All in the bottom third of the league in pass defense.white_sox

I'd be all for doing a cash league next year, I'm not sure if we can openly talk about it on the boards or not. white_sox

Bengals are 4-2you now lol. I still dont understand why tge raiders just didnt wait and try to trade those picks in the draft to get luck. Mind blowing stupid move.Chutebox

I don't like giving up 2 first round picks but hey I'll take Palmer over Boller any day. Campbell was playing average and the Raiders were still winning so I can't wait to see what he can do for us in Oakland. He's always played behind a crappy team in Cincy and now that he actually has a good running attack he'll be even betterandyboiii

People said the same thing about richard when we gave a 1st for him. Good trade imo. The raiders draft extremely well in the later rounds, I don't see us missing anything.i5750at4Ghz

Edit:
They needed to use that first in 2012 to trade down to get more later picks

Raider fans can't be so delusional to think this was a good trade... or at the very least, that they didn't give up too muchNo_Hablo_Ingles

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"] You forget about the picks we are going to get for nnamdi and miller.rawsavon

Edit I forgot about Thomas Howard so add a 6th as well.
