Get the o-line built for next year ,throw the season like the Colts did and then draft your franchise QB !

 

I like this plan, lets rebuild one last time. Reload in the future.

If the Raiders outright release him I wouldn't mind bringing him in on a two year deal less than 5 million per. I think T.Jackson sucks and I much rather have Palmer be the veteran stop gap guy as opposed to Jackson. Also as a one year type deal I am not opposed to Palmer much better QB class next year.

Bring him in.... 1-2 yrs a decent Oline a solid Rushing attack and i think hed be better then any other option we have.

 

But due to recent inactivity.... I say we can talk till were blue in the face and it wont happen. Just my opinion!

eaglesb_logo.gifPhiladelphia Eagles: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia WestVirginia_logo.gif

This is not the surprise pick I promised on Twitter (@walterfootball), but I am going with Geno Smith to the Eagles.

 

It's no secret Philadelphia has serious interest in Smith. Sal Paolantonio first spoke of it on 97.5 the Fanatic. "From what I'm hearing the Eagles are serous about Geno Smith and it's not a smokescreen. They're dead serious," he said.

 

The Eagles then sent their entire contingent to West Virginia's Pro Day. I might as well capitalize ENTIRE because owner Jeffrey Lurie was there too. Lurie has only visited one draft prospect as the Eagles' head boss. That was Donovan McNabb.

 

The Eagles' interest in Smith shouldn't be a surprise. They need a quarterback - the current starter will be around for only one year, while Nick Foles doesn't fit the offense - and Smith would be perfect in Chip Kelly's scheme.

Scott Pioli on Matt Barkley: My biggest concern is his arm strength. Every ball he throws has some arc on it and the ball needs to be thrown on a line consistently.

 

Oakland #3, Philadelphia #4 picks , I'll stay with EJ or wait till 2014 if Geno and EJ are gone by our 8th pick. I would not gamble and trade up this draft.

Arizona is waiting to grab him "IF" the Raiders release him as he would suit their offense.

 

So, should the Raiders give him up then you can expect them to tab Geno Smith in the draft. If the Cards don't land Palmer then perhaps expect Barkley to be gone by the 8th pick. just my 2 cents

Alot of Lies are gonna be told between now and the draft... Get the best QB you can at #8... Get the best WR you can at #41.... Start both on opening day... Palmer is a waste of time and money...

I have always been a huge fan of Palmer, and when the Raiders let him go, I think we should pick him up for league minimum. We could start him this season and take a QB next season in the draft, heck... we might even win a Super Bowl in the process. Spare me with all the HATE I am about to receive for this post... He will take us to where we need to go and set us up for the future, IMO! :thumbsup:

I don't think he has been the same since that hit in the playoffs I think it was VS the steelers

and he had surgery on it. Also getting up there in age, so no no no no

I really think people don't understand what kind of arm this guy has... It's stronger than both Manning and Brady... When it gets windy he has the ability to slice through it like a sharp knife going through Lindberg cheese! All you have to do it watch his time in Cincy... the man was a magician with a football and the Raiders totally under utilized his talents for the last couple of years, he has some years left... that's all I'm trying to say!

My biggest problem with Palmer is his lack of leadership. I have never seen him take responsibility and take charge of the team. He always seemed to play second-fiddle. And the guy who said "sign for Veteran Minimum" is smoking something really hot...The guy is refusing to take a pay cut from 10M....I definitely can see Arizona sign him to a 5-7M a year with incentives deal.

I don't think he is the answer.

He is pretty much shot.

If he is being signed to be a placeholder while our #1 pick QB gets ready, fine.

But to expect anything more from him would be a mistake, IMO.

I would beg to differ... please read this... Palmer Will Play for Less

I doubt he would sign with us as bad as we are. I think he signed with the Raiders because of the SoCal thing. Coming and playing in Buffalo (one of the worst teams in the leagu) is probably not on his bucket list. However, I'm all for it! He'd be a quality bridge til next year and can then help mentor a rookie QB for a year or two. I do not like any of the QBs in this draft and would rather they get a decent veteran. They'll need to add two QBs anyway and I'd hope one of them would be a veteran with plenty of experience.

Well, I don't want to make this into a big thing but... He will be throwing to Stevie, TJ Graham, Easley and maybe Patterson if they pick him @ #8!
