We need a TE and a backup power RB.

carson palmer is either loved or despised by most in the fan base. seen as a franchise elite qb by those that look at some of his past achievements ( 2006 in particular was an elite level year), or a washed up mistake prone qb stumbling toward an ugly end for those that look at his current production and project forward.

Whats important to keep in mind is that palmer is a hold over from the last regime, and in know way is guaranteed to stick through the rebuild. Just like new owners want their own gm, the new gm wants his own coach, and the coach wants his own qb. we have seen this play out before here in Oakland. palmers recent struggles are not lost on the front office and coaches even if they say all of the right things to dismiss them in public. palmer will get the benefit of he doubt being a pro of 10 years, but he must perform well or may not make it to the end of the year as the starter. he will need to prove to the new brain trust that he is the answer moving forward. so far he is doing the opposite.

terrel pryor is also a guy that elicits a strong response simply with the mention of his name. he is either a tebow clone that will never make it as an nfl qb, and a tight end waiting to happen, or a unique once in a life time talent with limitless upside. pryor also wasnt a part of the new regimes draft or signings. he too must prove that he belongs.

How will this play out? Id say look to last years broncos for clues. new coach comes in with orton who was a hold over. orton played ok but the team lost its first 4-5 games. the crowd wanted to see what tebow could do the coaches did as well and the rest was history.

elway fox orton tebow, are akin to big mck da palmer and pryor in this scenario. If palmer does not play well enough to lead the team to wins early in th season he may get the same treatment orton suffered, in favor of the raw rookie qb with the difficult to gauge ceiling.

After all D.A was there when the tebow show caught fire and im sure after seeing tebow up close and personal he is best suited to make any comparisons between pryor and the a fore mentioned.

There are how ever two things that pryor has that give him an edge. Pryor is a better passer than tebow at this stage of his career, stronger arm, better mechanics ( not saying much here), more accurate. pryor is far better athlete, tebow is more of a power runner, pryor has that but also speed to burn. the biggest thisng hge has going for him however is the raiders are the fastest team in football. the wr’s and rbs are speed demons and coupled with pryor will give him much more to work with than tebow ever had in dungver.

This could get really interesting really fast, because if palmer flops the calls for pryor will begin, and D.A and big mck may just listen.

More like OC Knapp should be the one replaced!

Well, listen 99. Some of them belong there maybe but a lot of them make a whole lot of sense.

You’re right Lefty but this still burns me because Al tried to low-ball Miller and his agent and that lost us Miller.
But who cares, its done and over.
Go Raiders.
