Carson Palmer to Oakland Raiders for 1st/2012

[skinsfan69]

Oakland really missed Jason Campell yesterday. Wow.

People judged this trade to soon, you can't expect a QB who's been sitting for 1.5 years come in and perform a miracle. As Palmer learns the offense the Raiders will play better and be contenders, I still think it was a good trade for the Raiders.

Good trade for OAK still, better trade for CIN in the long run. Unless of course OAK wins the big game...

How was Palmer "sitting for 1.5 years?"

He played last year; he "sat" during the offseason the way every NFL player "sat" during the offseason. He missed training camp (4 weeks) and the first 6 weeks of the NFL season. :confused:
