Raiders take QB drama to kickoff
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, October 23rd, 2011 at 11:42 am in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders released their inactive list for Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs but made no announcement regarding their starting quarterback.
Both Kyle Boller and Carson Palmer took reps before the game, with Boller going first.
Palmer, acquired for a first-round draft pick an conditional pick Tuesday with the Cincinnati Bengals, came out early on his own to work out on his won at O.co Coliseum with practice squad wide receiver Eddie McGee.
Coach Hue Jackson declined to name a starter during the week, waiting to see if Palmer would be ready after being off for the last six weeks and having not played in a game since last year’s regular-season finale.
With the bye week coming up, the Raiders have until Nov. 6 to get Palmer fully integrated into the system to face the Denver Broncos at O.co Coliseum.
ESPN reported earlier Sunday the decision would be up to Palmer whether he starts, which runs contrary to Jackson’s position Friday that he would make the call.
Declared inactive for the Raiders were quarterback Jason Campbell, place kicker Sebastian Janikowski, cornerback Chimdi Chekwa, cornerback Chris Johnson, fullback Marcel Reece, guard Bruce Campbell and wide receiver Chaz Schilens.

See Tebow cough that ball up? Whose side is god on now?
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:44 am
What’s up with Chaz?
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:44 am
Go Raiders!
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:44 am
Chaz is made of glass

October 23rd, 2011 at 11:45 am
Another player that can shake off the injury bug is bruce campbell

What’s the point in Bruce Campbell having a roster spot?
If he can’t stay active halfway through his 2nd year, can we use the spot for someone else?
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:47 am
Some radio host was going nuts the other day because people won’t give Tebow a chance, whatever. He was hoping Tebow “shoves the ball up all everyone’s @#$#”@$. That guy must really be losing it now.
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:47 am
Agree, high upside for bruce, but he is starting to turn into the roster spot killer
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:49 am
I have a feeling Tebow is going to be back on the bench by the time Denver comes to Oakland.
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:49 am
Fk’n jets-stop the chargers
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:49 am
Pretty sure Chaz practiced all week. Considering it’s Chaz, he may have hurt himself late in the week…
Could be Hue doesn’t want 6 receivers active. Maybe he wants Murphy to get some extended time.
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:50 am
Chaz-groin.
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:50 am
What? they just don’t know what to say anymore. First it was Palmer for sure, then Boller, then Pryor, now it’s up to Palmer if he feels like playing. What’s next? Lechler?
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:51 am
Free Norco Bob….
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:51 am
yeah, devilr8r, i hope jets can make a comeback! But probably doubtful.
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:51 am
Raiders hangin 40 on KC today.
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:52 am
Chaz with a groin late in the week. What a shocking development…
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:53 am
so what did the irish whisky tell huejax to do?
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:55 am
Norco Bob’s locked up?

Order another round

I hope Hue didn’t drink too much whiskey. He may implement the wishbone.

Wouldn’t surprise me.

Thec07,with ya on NB,what the heck did he say and to whom? How are you doing,Thec?I think a tight game,as usual when these two teams meet. Go RAIDERS!!!
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:58 am
I’m reading some of Norco Bob’s past comments. The similarities to Brien are more glaring now than ever. I thought of this before, but can’t believe I was ever gullible enough to give them the benefit of the doubt. Jesus flippin christ if they aren’t the same person.
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:58 am
Cam is a beast. Tebow sucks.
October 23rd, 2011 at 11:58 am
Watching some of this Denver-Miami game. I’m convinced that if you gave the announcers the option to bail out to go call a WNBA game instead they’d pounce on it.
Some of the lowlights:
- Two teams are a combined 0-for-15 on 3rd downs!
- Denver has more punts than passing yards in the 3rd quarter.
But Miami is letting them hang around at 6-0 and this has the feeling of one where Tebow runs one in late to give Denver the W. Look for Skip Bayless to hail Tebow’s intangibles and “will to win” tomorrow morning.
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:00 pm
Jets are not looking good against SD. Getting every call from what I’ve seen but still not making much noise. Down 11 halfway through the 3rd.
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:01 pm
I’m watching two of the worst games I’ve seen all year. Denver and Miami / Bears and Tampa.
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:01 pm
I love how ignorant donkey fans are. They really thought Teblow was an upgrade over Orton. Quinn would be a major upgrade over Teblow
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:01 pm
Yeah catching t
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:02 pm
chargers starting now on the 5. hope the jets stop em’ here……………
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:02 pm
catching the jets game, I think they are on a downward slide this season.
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:02 pm
The Broncos went with Tebow because the sports media, an extension of the NFL’s front office anymore, told them to.
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:04 pm
code black
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:04 pm
Well Elway is over his head if he is going to make decisions because of the sports media
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:04 pm
One of the worst slates of games in recent memory so far today.
I am cleaning up so far with Chicago, Houston and hopefully Miami can hold on. Need the Jets to rally.
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:05 pm
If you never met Nbob you can’t say sheet….
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:06 pm
Raiders should trade our fifth round pick in 2012 for Tebow, use him as our power back should we lose Mr. Bush toFA.
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:07 pm
Those England games almost always seem to disappoint. Not exactly the best demonstration of American Football on that stage.
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:07 pm
Teblow in silver and black- I cant see it.
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:09 pm
As deep as we are at wr not having Mr. Schilens for a week or two or three is not that big of a concern anymore for Raider nation .
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:11 pm
To devil, Tebow would not be the first born again playing for the Raiders.
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:14 pm
Apparently Matt Ryan hurt his ankle. Looked pretty bad from what I’m reading. Haven’t seen it myself…
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:15 pm
Jets at Chargers 2 or 3 yard line
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:17 pm
TD Jets
October 23rd, 2011 at 12:17 pm

::::::::::
It’s cuz of the quality players that start ahead of him. He is in the plan for the future o-line

We should all be Jets fans today as well as Raiders. Jets are making a comeback, smoke them Chargurls! Boller to start and I wouldn’t be surprised to see both Pryor and Palmer at some point. A little concerned about the FG and kickoffs for us today. Git er done Raiders!
