Raiders lose Jason Campbell for 6-8 weeks due to injury and then panic.
They give up not one but TWO freaking 1st round picks for Carson Palmer -- 2012 and 2013 (conditional). Unreal!! At least that's what I heard on the NFL Network earlier this AM.

In the few Bengal's games I watched on Sunday Ticket last year, Palmer looked like crap. Can't believe he was even worth a 2d or 3d but two 1st rounders? Would Al Davis even go this far off the deep end?

1. What about Pryor??
Didn't they just get him "in case"??

5. He's not ready for prime time...
not for several week at least. While on suspension he couldn't practice -- only go to team meetings. If something drastic happened, like injuries to Boller and Palmer in the same game, maybe we'd see him hand off or throw a screen.

9. Neither are Boller and Palmer it seems
If I was Hue I'd send him out there. The first year of Peyton Manning's HoF career was a disaster on all fronts except that he got 1000 or so snaps. Time to get Pryor some live reps

10. Pryor has hardly taken any snaps in practice
He's been on suspension, remember. Maybe later on in the season, and only then if they're out of the playoffs.

2. Wow!
Two number ones for a pretty much washed up QB

3. This is not good news..
Raiders looked pathetic on Sunday and then, throw the fact that McFadden may have turf toe.. meh!...This season may end up being another bad one.

6. Boller's three INTs put them in a hole early and Palmer was rusty...
a comeback was too much to expect from Carson. He should improve after the bye. I agree... losing McFadden would be the tragic.

4. WWAD??
Carson Palmer would probably not be the answer.

7. I think the Raiders have to win a playoff game this year
for that second #1 pick to come into play, and given their sketchy draft history, they may not have given up that much.

8. They have to go to the AFC championship game this year or next
for that second pick to become round #1
