Pretty impressive

Better than Phillip Rivers? Nope.
He's going to say he will be better, with the slump that Rivers is in right now, but probably won't point out that he's had his favorite target (Gates) out for all but 2 games this year. Malcom Floyd has only played 2 full games this year, Crayton missed a few, and Jackson has been banged up. Still he's been a little off, but it's only a matter of time before he gets it together.

But you can't tell dude ANYTHING. He's a "Know-it-all".

last time I checked rivers has always been surrounded by better talent. now that the talent around him isn't all that healthy, he isn't looking so hot.
What about last year and the PLAQUE of injuries he had? You never heard people rave about all that he did last year with undrafted rookie WR's from the practice squad? Google it my friend. Like I said, this year he's been a little off so it's not all injuries. But don't act like the talent around him is the only reason he's ever been good.

you were the one that brought up the injuries as the reason he's been bad this year. now you want to contradict yourself, lol.

Put your reading glasses on, then re-read my post, "lol". I said that's not the sole reason Rivers is struggling. I said he has been off this year so far, but it's only a matter of time before he gets it together, "lol".

yet he was able to succeed with undrafted rookies from the practice squad last year. so injuries shouldn't be a problem, right?
It would be tough to do what he did last year, or for any QB for that matter. He was "on" last year, and has been "off" this year, aside from the injuries. There are several posts where I have stated that. The comment about last year was a reply to the post talking about he's only done well in the past because he's always had talent around him. Last year he didn't and had one of his best years. So that theory can be put to rest. But like I said, he's been OFF this year AND had injuries, but it's only a matter of time before he gets it together.

I never said rivers is a bad qb, just that he hasn't been playing well. so the idea that it's impossible for palmer to become the best qb in the afc west is just stupid. if rivers doesn't get his shit together, it's more than likely. the other two qb's are matt cassel and tim tebow, even with rivers playing bad he's better than them.

enough with this bullshit though:

Carson Palmer to work on O during bye

While bye weeks are often used to rest the body and refresh the mind, the Raiders have plenty of work planned for the week in order to get Palmer acclimated. They will hold practices on Tuesday and Wednesday before taking an NFL-mandated four days off.

But instead of leaving town for the weekend, the receivers, tight ends and running backs are all planning to stick around to get some informal work in with Palmer.

There is nothing to be mad about. My team lost, no big deal, i'm over it today.

I know this website is full of fake gangstas and thugs that listen to rap music, work 9-5's or go to college, hit the club/bar on the weekend and pretend they are street. I cant stand your type, sorry. All I am saying is keep it real one time....
my type? you don't know me. lol

why don't you try "keepin' it real" sometime breh.

Phyllis Rivers is a bitch, but he's also one of the best QBs in the NFL. It would be dope if Carson Palmer pulled a Drew Brees and started beasting every game, but it probably won't happen like that. What I expect is Palmer to be a very good QB and Hue make the offense fire on all cylinders.

I'm ok with Palmer only being a top 10 NFL QB....somewhere around 6-8....

IMO he won't be better than Rodgers, P. Manning, Brady, Brees, or Rivers....although I'd love to be pleasantly surprised....I'm just glad Norv Turner sucks or else Rivers would be dominating this division
