Palmer being Palmer

I just read - Carson Palmer is struggling this preseason and does not appear to be a natural fit for the Oakland Raiders' new offense. Yea, this is what I expected when he signed with them. He always had excuses as a Bengal, I'm rusty, need more practice with my WR's, we need practice, etc. I don't miss him at all in stripes!! Glad we have Dalton!!

My lasting impression of Palmer is that questioning look he had on his face after a pick. He'd run off, kind of confer with the receiver, make some hand motions meant to represent routes or something, then chill on the bench until the next pick. So glad he's not here, but I feel a bit sorry for long-suffering Raiders fans. Hue Jackson is the man, no doubt about that.

In the meantime, Terrell Pryor looked pretty comfortable out there.

That could totally change next game, but whatever.

They play Seattle next; arguably the most impressive looking team in the preseason. It'll be interesting to see how that game unfolds and how long until the fans on the east side of SF Bay call for Pryor

I don't like Pryor becuase of how he helped ruin the Buckeyes but I'd rather him take over and have them bench Palmer.

Yeah, I didn't like how that went down either, but i'm not about to deny Pryor's ability either.

If he had some significant time with the starters, he could make things interesting there in Oakland.

One preseason game neither makes or breaks a player, but Pryor has the size, speed, arm, and ability.

Pryor's game does not work long term in the NFL. It's a novelty until defenses game plan him. Oakland is screwed if they give up on Palmer...likely they're screwed regardless

Again, I cannot stand the maturity issues of Pryor, but the ability is there.

Vick is 6'0, 215

Pryor is 6'4, 233

Vick is the player I would most likely compare Pryor to and if Vick was bigger and more capable of taking hits, he would be All-World. If Pryor gets his head on straight, it wouldn't surprise me to see him succeed in the NFL. That's not to say he will, but again, it wouldn't surprise me if he does.

I thought the same thing of Cam Newton as was very wrong, Pryor has just as much natural talent as Cam. If he can get his head right he could be very good.

I don't think Pryor has the ability to play in the NFL. Right now he is just benefitting from the backup quarterback syndrome - fans love the backup until he plays a couple games.

After the Black Hole watched Pryor shot-put a few horribly inaccurate passes to the other team, they'l hate him. Seriously, do you guys remember how he'd miss wide open guys on little 7 yard out pattersn? Dude was not good.
