If it were 2005......
This would have been quite a coup for the Raiders, they'd be getting a cold-blooded quick strike deep ball bomber that was at he top of his craft.....but instead, they are now getting a QB whose penchant for shaky reads and lack of confidence in the pocket is very noticable, hell, Ray Charles or Stevie WOnder can see Palmer has never been the same since the horrific knee injury he suffered to Steelers in 2005 playoffs (my buddy and I were sitting 15 rows up in back of end zone when it happened and we heard him scream)...so in essence, Bengals get another 1st round pick in the 18-22 range plus another 2nd rounder (how about trading up and getting the beast RB from Bama, Trent Richardson?) for a replacement level QB who wasnt ever going to play for u anyway? In this big game of hold-em, Mike Brown called Palmers bluff and kicked his ass, clear winner in this deal is Bengals
