QB situation for 2012

and mentor Pryor. Will this happen? no fuckin clue. But Palmer showed more than just flashes of brilliance. And Pryor isnt a great “thrower” and needs a mentor. Where else should we go? Draft a qb again? No. Freeagency? no. Resign JCamp? no.
Best case scenario is that he restructures, which i dont think he will.

Keep Palmer, let him have a full offseason of work outs, working with his healthy receivers, TE’s, RB’s, and importantly the line. His football knowledge is strong, he will become more familiar with certain defenses, and he should know the playbook. He showed flashes of brilliance in many games (as well as some of the most boneheaded mistakes I’ve ever seen). I like, nay love, the prospect of Palmer, DMC, and the combo of Moore/DHB/ Ford for our offense. Unlike the media, I think it could be a top 10 offense. Alas, this is just an ideal proposal. Given the nature of the NFL and our new management, who knows what our offense will look like next season. We shall see.

If the Raiders get rid of Palmer they still owe the Bengals a draft pick. How is that the right thing to do? Sign JC and get rid of Boller. He was Hue guy and doubt that he makes the team. The third sting guy is TP.

Palmer is the clear choice. The guy can put points on the scoreboard, and a lot of them at that! A prolific offense would make a Dennis Allen-coached defense that much more dangerous.

I like the way Palmer hits Moore in full stride, not having to stop and jump for the ball the way he was with JC. The other thing JC needs to do is learn how to SLIDE when he is running with the ball, a slide would have prevented a broken collar bone. Just these two issues I’ve mentioned about the two men make me choose Palmer. Will we see either of them this year? Who knows, I certainly don’t, I will say I sure would like to see what Palmer does with a whole off season to prepare though.

Yep. I said it.

Simply put, I don’t trust Carson’s decision making. Also, this is “No Man’s Land” for Carson – Hue is gone. I do believe that Palmer will win the QB competition, but having Campbell as a backup is the next best thing – especially if Palmer’s decision making does not improve at all.

We all have to remember: We cannot be vertical all of the time. Vertical doesn’t help in 1st and goal – something Carson in addition to the playcalling did not do well with. Also, Depensing on what WR we get IF we get a Free agent WR, the system might go more toward route running – which suite Ford, DHB, Boss, and every other WR on the team better than just going deep all the time.

who is going to sign campbell after last years injury. i say the raiders will sign him and see what happens there.

a lot of time carson made a great play he was throwing into a window that if the receiver didn’t make a great catch then there was a good chance that it would be picked. i think that when he gets an offseason with his wide outs he’ll have way less turnovers. a lot of those picks game in like 2 1/2 meltdown games. That being said he does have a history of throwing a lot of interceptions in years when he has had preseasons and chemistry with his wide receivers.

“CP3” has proven the ability to run this “O” and will be even better at it with a full off season of prep and full training camp…

Al Saunders’ PlayBook should never leave the Raiders…Possible to have another Play Caller but keeping Al is a priority for this top 10 “O” to survive…

Gary Crowton “OC” Of The Ducks….Play Caller Perhaps?

I would like this if we keep Al Saunders as "OC" so we don’t have to alter the terminology and such…Maybe make a new position for him as "Assistant HC-O"….

in his first couple games, since he basically came in completely cold (no offseason, new system, new players, not having played in over a year). Palmer’s numbers are actually pretty solid. Despite the circumstances under which he played, Palmer still completed 60% of his passes, threw 13 TDs, was 7th in the NFL in yds/G, 5th in yds/Att, and still finished 21st overall in Total Passing Yards despite playing in only 10 games.

Send Boller packing faster than the wind leaves a duck’s ass.

I believe that Palmer will win out because he can loft the ball better than Campbell, but the team seems to rally so well behind Campbell and we have yet to see Campbell’s full upside as he was still developing when he got hurt. On the other hand, Palmer has had no real justice starting midseason – it was like trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat. I believe Palmer felt the pressure tremendously with the expectations of HAVING to take the Raiders to the playoffs, as he himself said, this season was “failure” regarding his acquisition because we did not go to the playoffs. I cannot exclude the possibility that, although he does throw interceptions, many of them were due to performance pressure and to developing timing with his receivers. I expect him to clean most of that up with a full offseason of practice.

I might be old school here, but results are results:

By definition West Coast Offense means placing more emphasis on passing than running.

That being said, Plunkett who used a Davis verticle form of the WCO,
When Plunkett came here:
1. Heisman winner
2. Age 32
3. 8 NFL
4. 13000 yds
5. 61% QB rating
6. 117 int
7. 1994 attempts
8. Results: 2 Superbowl Championships

When Palmer came here:
1. Heisman winner
2. Age 32
3. 8 yrs NFL
4. 22,000 yds
5. 86% QB rating
6. 100 int
7. 3200 attempts
8. Results: Build the rest of the team, and the results could be the same as Plunketts

You guys realize that we could go all the way next year, right?
Just sayin….
