RAIDERS PLAYERS (Trades, Cuts, Injuries, Rumors, etc.)

[Raider Rodney]

I'm personally glad we didn't trade a few of our wideouts or anyone else in the deal.  I'd much rather trade picks for proven players

I remember not long ago several of you screaming we needed another WR but I believed we had a great bunch of young guys that would improve. 

We did get another receiver, we got 2.  Moore and Hagan.  Ford is a return guy.  Murphy was put in the #1 position and he isn't a #1 receiver.  DHB has gotten better but still makes too many catches with his body.  DHB's catches could easiliy be made by Hagan, whom I would start with Moore.

My point being we didn't get go out and trade the farm for a proven dedicated #1 receiver like a few were screaming.  Moore was a pick and doesn't count.  Hagan was a nice pickup but should still be behind Denarious, Jacoby, and maybe even DHB who is coming around finally.  Our WR core is fine

HEY COACH!!!

Lay off DHB how he is catching the ball.. he is doing his job thats the main thing. IF your a open receiver..IE DHB, then you gotta catch it with your body. (thats the way coaches teach it mr armchair expert)

[RaiderWildeStyle]

I can not believe some of these people in articles and on the radio saying that the Bengals won in this deal and we paid too much. I would like to see these fools on the sideline with our roster. Im Sorry but if you were the coach of some team that has been in a slump for 7 years and they look like a playoff team for the firsty time in a in that stretch and your QB gets knocked out for the season, im pretty sure not one of these idiots would just stick with some back-up or less than QB. they would do what any smart human would do and go after the BEST available option. In the position that Hue was in, that is exactly what he did. He went after the BEST avaiable from the FA or trade list. Not one of these dummies on the radio or writing the articles who said they made a mistake named ONE QB they would have went after instead.... ???WHY???.... CUZ THERE WASNT ONE YOU DUMB TARDS. This was absolutely the best optiont to go with to give our team the BEST chance of winning. Who wouldnt do that for their orginazation. TIME IS NOW..... GO RAIDERS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Bengals did win the trade... HOWEVER the Raiders have the most upside to gain in the trade!!! (a mid 1st rounder isn't  impact,it isnt a HOMERUN so to speak , if it was a raiders 1st rounder from 2007 circa i.e DMC... then thats a different story)

Quarterback is such a important position... If we get a motivated Carson Palmer then we could go deep into the playoffs.

[Matty Raider]

I'm amazed Hue Jackson can stand, let alone walk, since he apparently has a massive set of balls. Because that's what this trade required. We gave up a ton but we were backed into a corner. A season with Boller at qb would have meant empty seats and blackouts. Fans can't stand to watch more crappy qb play. Lord knows we've seen enough since Gannon hurt his neck. Campbell is likely gone, which is a shame. He got hurt putting his body on the line for the team. Once a Raider, always a Raider. Unless you're JaWalrus. Then you can fuck off.

I agree, the Raiders were definitely backed into a corner.  Boller was not the answer for 10 more games.  At first I was shocked beyond belief with this trade, considering we are giving up a 1st rounder and a a potential 2nd 1st rounder in '13.  I guess it was just the sting of all our unsucessful drafts, trading away picks, etc. coming to rear its head and I was hoping we were moving away from that.  We fucked up in the 1st place by not retaining a quality back-up to begin with so the hand was forced.  I mean, come on, we have suffered through huge awful personnel decisions and my gut reaction to Oakland making moves like this is generally one of "What the fuck???"  Taking it all it in, I have have come around and now feel this was a great trade for us.  In all honesty though, despite this being a business, I do feel bad for JC.  After suffering in that debacle in DC, he came here, played fuck-fuck games last year with the QB shuffle and ended up really being a leader for this team.  He never bitched, he never whined, always acted like a pro.  He is a starter in this league and like Tokai Raider said, he hurt himself trying to get a win for us.  A move like this, Carson is to be our QB for a at least a couple of years and Campbell will be moving on.  I wish him the best of luck.

Sounds like chargeless "fans" if they can actually be called that, are scared of Palmer. Saying "he's always torched us" & that his average passer rating(which I don't put too much into) is over 128.00%. Haha! We'll see what #3 can do for us Sunday. Bye week couldn't come at a better time. Still need to lean heavily on the run these next few games til Palmer gets in the groove of what we're doing. Btw...screw Michael Lombardi! Asshole of the week for sure.

REAL MEN WEAR BLACK!

By the way......just customized a #3 Home PALMER  Jersey for $209.99........................IVE got a ten foot boner........gonna make the wife wear it while I dry hump her leg once it comes in the mail............this is an epic trade........Campbell will be gone after this year.....he is  a free agent........and SROTBFM is right......we are going to need the $$$$$ to make sure that we pay Bush after this year and secure MCFADDEN with a big ASS contract when the time is done........

You must be happy about the trade considering you said you'd never buy another bit or raider apparrel until next year when NIKE releases there new jersey.

I've never been a fan of USC Quarterbacks (Sanchez, Leinhart etc) they are always overhyped playing in powerhouse systems.. but Carson Palmer orchestrated some good wins in the hardest division of the last 10 years in the AFC NORTH.

[NJ Raider Kev]

The only thing i hate about this trade is this pretty much means bye bye Jason Campbell.  I think Jason is the one reason why the raiders have completely changed in the past two years.

Kyle,  I was thinking the same thing but then I came to realize that Campbell is set to become a free agent in 2012, probably going to be in another jersey next season.

Go Raiders!

[bLuEmEaNie]

he was a 49r also

[houston raider]

someone on the radio mentioned that plunkett played 7 seasons for teh pats before AD got him(plus he also was a heisman winner).Palmer played 7 seasons with the bengals and also is a heismann winner.....what do you all think?can;t wait to heAR WHAT eX RAIDER lINCOLN KENNEDY THINKS AND jT TEH BRICK...

[da_AZN_PErsuAZN]

CAN U SMELLLLLLLLLLL....WHAT HUE..IS..COOKING?!?! I LOVE IT!! I WAS NEVER A FAN OF CAMPBELL AND I COULDNT WAIT TILL PRYOR STEPS IN. AND NOW THIS..CARSON FREAGIN-PALMER IS IN THE HOUSE!! THIS TRADE SOLIDIFIES OUR QB SPOT FOR YEARS TO COME. WERE A RUN TEAM FIRST BUT WE NEED SOMEONE TO "MANAGE" THE OFFENSE AND CARSON IS SO MUCH MORE BETTER THAN JASON. PALMER AND OUR BUDDING WIDE RECIEVER CORPS PLUS DMAC ON THE LOOSE,  HELL YEAH!! THIS TRADE PUTS OUR RAIDERS ABOVE AVERAGE AND AS POST-SEASON PLAYERS. IRRELEVANT NO MORE!! I WISH AL WAS HERE TO SEE ALL OF THIS..

[Raidersully]

The only thing i hate about this trade is this pretty much means bye bye Jason Campbell.  I think Jason is the one reason why the raiders have completely changed in the past two years.

Not necessarily. I think there a few team that would have liked to have gotten Palmer but thought, just as many of us did, that he was unobtainable. Well now that he is free and people see Carson doing well this season we may be in a good spot having two QB's that other teams may wish to trade for(Campbell and Palmer). I mean in the end neither of these guys are in the Raiders future. The Raiders future was drafted in the 4th round of the supplemental draft. No matter what Campbell did for us Pryor is the future.

Don't you think Carrol would love to be reunited with Carson? No doubt he is an upgrade over Tavaris. How about the Dolphins, Redskins, or Browns. They could all use a QB upgrade. See how the Tebow experiment works out and the broncaho's amy come calling. There are options. It doesn't have to mean the end of Campbell.

[Raidersully]

Love the Palmer move for so many reasons. It shows this organization can see something positive happening and does not want to stop the momentum. In the spirit of Al Davis we did what ever it took to get the player we wanted. Plamer is looking to prove something much the way Campbell and Seymour did when we got them. That chip on his shoulder is a great motivating tool. While Plamer has been slacking in the last few years. He hasn't had this much talent around him at so many positions since his playoff run of '06. Really all he has to do is mange what is already happening and I think he is more than capable of doing that.

As has been said already. Having a game against the quiefs and then a bye week is really a best case scenario for us in this situation. As bad as the quief might be though this game is not to be taken lightly. Nothing would please them more than beating us. It would be their season really. But I think Hue knows that and has made sure to remind the team.

What a roller coaster of emotions. After the win it felt like all was lost and then this. Let's hope it works out for the best. i think it will. GO RAIDERS!!!

It's done

Let's be positive guys, this could be the start of something great

[Matty Raider]

I remember not long ago several of you screaming we needed another WR but I believed we had a great bunch of young guys that would improve. 

Now our secondary is our weakest link...and again I see a bunch of young guys that seem to be consistently improving.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the move for Palmer places us in the drivers seat for a good solid team for years to come!  The rest of the AFC better take note....we are coming...and we are coming hard Nation!

Absolutely.  I'll take proven players as well.  Seymour worked out pretty damn good...

Lately, we have been finding gems in the latter rounds anyway.  But potentially two 1st rounders is hefty.  Palmer better deliver.  I hope he can.

I was one of the ones screaming for a veteran WR.  Well....so far this season, it's DHB

[houston raider]

             I think Palmer was the Best qb available before the trade deadline>i would rather have Palmer than Donovan Mcnabb.Did we give up to much to get carson(probably).We all will agree that the Raiders should have addressed the qb situation during this years draft.Then we would have been giving up high drafts picks to acquire Palmer.You have to give the Raiders staff kuddos for having teh STONES to make a splash and get Palmer.We have a shot at winning the division and at LEAST a wild card.If we didn;t go Out and get Palmer then we would be ALOT worse off.this is the kin of trade that Al davis would have done(that he did do).I like the Raiders fortunes better with Palmer than with Boller.Your thoughts?RAIDEERRSS!!!:O)

Anyone else think the raiders might have been planning this move for season end but had their hand forced with campbell's injury? Seemed to come together real quick for such a major trade.

[Millernation]

It is the best option the raiders had.  I do worry about how it creates a QB controversy next year.  But fuck it.   the best QB will win the job.  Funny how our backup last year is the Cincy back up this year and we get their starting Qb last year.  I don't think he will be ready for sunday.  We could have used the bye week this week.  Then again, playing the chefs this year is like having a bye week

[SROTBFM]

Yeah we overpaid and yeah it's risky but hellraider is right, he was the best option available. Chance worth taking IMO.

Another angle - think of the $$$ we'll save with no first rounders to pay. Might come in handy when franchising dmac comes around

[Matty Raider]

No not Mark...this has Hue's fingerprints all over it.  Jackson was the WR coach when he was in Cincy.  He better be ready...I am still shaking my head at this....

Agreed! Hue and Carson were working have been working together to get thiis deal done. TheyMve also been working out on the sidetoo.

MMMMHHHHHHHHHHH.........................so you would all be happy with Boller..........he sucks......................!!.......and if we are winning we wont be getting high first round draft picks anyways......................only if we start to lose will we really miss those picks......................He will be the best QB since GANNON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!period............and he is a TROJAN >>>>>>>>>>>>which makes his cock......ten feet long........................................!HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bahaha!  10 foot long dong...hilarious.  Good to see you back on here dude.

Well, I like that the Raiders went after Palmer and he is the best option RIGHT NOW.  They have shown through this move that the Raiders want to win now.  This is exactly what Hue has been saying since Day 1.  No more, "Well, there's next year..."

But we'll now have a QB clusterfuck unless they are planning on cutting Campbell loose.

For what we gave, we better plan on having Carson a while...

Mike Brown of the Bengals is a cantankerous prick.  He got the better of the deal.  We got a QB with a career 86.9 rating.  That is pretty damn good.  However, does your boy still got gas in the tank??

Umm... No, where did you get I liked Kyle Boller from? Or even that I was unhappy with the deal.

Just assumed that you were not happy with the deal and would have wanted us to do nothing if it meant keeping the picks.........that seems to be the concensus of the forum so far.......Palmer is the best QB available........no doubt about it.............if we wanted him, then this is what we have to give up...................nobody else is better.....

Nope, I agree with you on him being the best QB option since Gannon. I'm thrilled that they picked him up. It's step, but it's all in on making the playoffs this year.  I love it!

[NEBRASKARAIDER]

Not worth a 1st round...simply put. Draft wise we got fucked, but think...would you rather see #7 under center or Palmer? I know who my choice is.  I don't like Palmer, I never acknowledged him as a quality player. He's in that group of QBs like Hasselback, Bulger, T.Jackson etc... that you just don't recognize as quality QB's. We can all say how we feel about giving up high picks & I agree that we gave up too much...BUT that's in the future, we need to win now not scratch the season & hope for next year. Like I said I don't care for Palmer but now he's a Raider & I'm looking forward to seeing the guy who gives us the best chance to win on the field Sunday.

[RaiderJim75]

3 consecutive years without a 1st rounder will bite us in the ass.....  We need secondary help, Routt and Van Dyke/Johnson aren't very good.....Those picks could have strengthened our defense.  Palmer hasn't played football in over a year, it will take him at least a month to get into game shape, much less learn 1/4 of the playbook and get comfortable with all new receivers.  I've never been a fan of Palmer, Ive always thought he was overhyped just like that gold grilled jackass that's in New England now.  Belicheat must have called Mike Brown and told him how to tickle our fancy so they could slide one in.  2 first rounders for a guy with no knees, and not much time left.  Way to go Mark Jr.......

Ok seriousyl, i understand we need a QB bad, but giving up a first rounder when we are already soooo short on picks next year. I mean i guess he could strut his stuff this year then we could trade him in the offseason for the first rounder or trade Jason if he shows to be better then him back but honestly who would want him for a first round pick. WOW, i dont know im on the fence on this. If we get him for a first round pick then he better take us straight to the playoffs man or else were gonna be in a huge shit storm come next year. We basically wont even be apart of the draft...haha. what do yall think?

[SgtRaider in K-town]

The Curry project:

http://m.nfl.com/news/09000d5d823239ee/seahawks-absorb-currys-contract-as-part-of-raiders-trade/

I think this was a decent trade as Curry is a good Workhorse. He wasn't worth the hype of a 4th round pick but he should be a good Lb for us for a few seasons to come.

[Tokai Raider]

Raiders haved signed Chinedum Ndukwe, but the thing i dont understand is i know this guuy is a good player but we dont need a safety we need a QUATERBACK. He played safety 7th round pick 6 ints in three seasons

Have fun pronouncing that one GREG...LOL.not for long tho. Where's the QB?? FUCK!!!

REAL MEN WEAR BLACK!

damn. someone beat me to the post. chi-ne-dum n-duk-we. even better than chimdi chekwa, at least in terms of his name. maybe they signed him to the practice squad? with chekwa and johnson hurt, we need someone depth in the secondary...or they signed him for his name.

Well fuck maaaan! Boller blows as he showed by overthrowing wide open receivers on numerous occasions during the game. Garrard sounds like he's out, McNabb (fuck that shit!) I don't understand why the Ben-gals are so uptight on Palmer, they haven't won jack with the guy & he's not that good, so screw them & their "who- dey" b.s. What the hell are we gonna do?!? This win really didn't feel like one due to our loss at QB. Gonna have to make something happen. I think we run the ball heavily the next two games, which we can win in doing so. Bruce would be a fine in this circumstance. Oh well.

i am keen for us to roll with Boller, keep the focus on the run game...even involve Taiwan Jones a little to keep the defense on edge.  Then throw Pryor into a few wildcat or other trick situations.  hue has a vast playbook to keep away from conventional QB led offense.  Our best option is to roll that way right now!

UNLESS we go out and trade for a GOOD solid QB, which would be silly and a waste of salary cap! JC will be the leader for few years, we have the abillity to win the next few without him. Just got to get behind whichever QB leads our team out!!

GO RAIDERS

So we roll with boller against kc.........and he sucks, or gets injured........what then? Trade deadline is passed and we're left with Pryor and.......Lechler?

At the very least, we need another body in.

Mcnabb sucks......................he is washed up like a used tampon.............................dont even think about it........he is awful.....I have watched some of their games and bad wr's or not.....he is garbage......

[SROTBFM]

Well, there goes the Garrard option (back surgery). I'd take mcnabb over mcclown. Can't see the bungles giving up palmer unless we make a ridiculously good offer. They're digging their heels in on that one.

This is not good.

well joe porter is cut, due to the reason to make room for pryor
