The Official Oakland Raiders 2011 Season Thread
- Thread starter Meta4iCAL
- Start date
The Raiders are reportedly no longer planning to start Carson Palmer because they're concerned with his ability to make "high-velocity throws" in a live, game setting after just three practices.
"I'm 95 percent sure he is not going to play," a source close to the situation told ESPN's Adam Schefter. "Practicing Wednesday and Thursday, he felt he's not ready to make those high-velocity throws yet. Maybe they could decide something at the last minute, but I don't think he's going to play." It sounds like the decision was made by Palmer, independently, as opposed to the coaching staff. Earlier in the week, offensive coordinator Al Saunders said Palmer would start against the Chiefs as long as he was still "breathing."

at least he didnt try to go out there and do hella and fuck up, he knew he wasnt ready and isnt putting the team in a worst situation than needed. maybe if we get a decent lead on the chiefs we can put in palmer for a few snaps.
Jano is gunna hurt, but luckily this is right before a bye week. we need to handle the queefs and go into the bye week at 5-2, i predicted 6-1, only loss i took so far this year is the buffalo game.
some of yall were predicting us to win only 4-5 games this season, im happy where the team is at right now, especially just acquiring palmer, lets hppe this first half success continues into the next half of the season.

I wouldn't be surprised if at some point in the game you see Palmer, Boller, Pryor and McFadden all take a snap
SeaBass injured is all bad....and the fact that they're working out kickers is bad too. Lechler is an ok backup, but you can't have him punting, kicking off & doing field goals the whole game

why not do it in 2 weeks against the equally not so good Broncos at home, when he's had a a couple weeks to learn the playbook and his receivers???
selfishly I want Palmer to start... because I'm going to the game, and I'd rather watch Carson Palmer than Kyle fucking Boller... with that being said, I think it's probably the right move to start Boller
the main thing I'm worried about is Palmer getting injured because he's been away form football for so long... he would be more susceptible to injury

I think it's funny that none of these media types know what the fuck their talking about, yet pass it off as fact.
They got a 50% chance of being right, right?
haha.
I'll guess that Palmer plays in some sort of capacity. The media is just creating stories like the one where it said Carson benched himself... whatever.
They'll publish anything.
