Carson Palmer to Oakland Raiders, Good or Bad Deal? 
 The Raiders traded 2 first round draft picks for a old , but still good quarterback. He has health issues  bad back and has taken alot of hits during his career. He is a classic drop back passer and can still throw the long ball, he doesn't have the accuracy or quick release , but he has that strong arm , the Raider nation likes. He is experienced and can win games for you. The Raiders will ground and pound and use Palmer as a drop back vertical long ball threat. The Raiders have talented pass catchers Ford, Heyward Bey , Schillens, and Mcfadden and Bush are very good running tandem perhaps the best one two punch in the league. Did the Raiders over pay for a veteran QB, Perhaps , but they needed a QB now, they are in the hut for the division title and playoff run. Remember they swept the AFC West last year , and are very capable of doing it again. I see the raiders being a true contender , now that they have a legitimate NFL QB, sorry KYLE BOLLER OR TERRELE PRYOR, you guys are unproven and not NFL ready QBS .. THE raiders NEEDED A QB, and sure they over paid , but like anything in life sometimes you have to take a risk. The raiders needed something , and the Bengals demanded and got a more than fair deal. Over paid, perhaps.. But we all know getting first round picks don't always pan out, for the Raiders.. Jamarcus Russell, Robert Gallery, It's a good move for a desperate franchise that has lost it's owner , GM , and starting QB, in a span of weeks. 
 For now, the raiders will be the pound and ground team with a strong defense, and now with a veteran QB with long pass ability. I see a contending and motivated Team , make a strong run for the AFC WEST division title and perhaps a strong run the layoffs. Wow.. What a difference a year makes? 
Bottom line- Yes, they over paid , but they needed a quality QB, yes, its gonna cost them ,, but if they can get in the playoffs and do things, it will be worth the risks. The Raiders are built for cold weather and success in playoffs, they have a solid running game and a aggressive defense. They also have speed and play makers. They are confident and motivated and a scary team to think about , when the playoffs roll around. The raiders play that old school , bully style football , and proved their mettle with the thrashing of the NEW YORK JETS.. In honor of AL Davis , the Raiders erected a lit flame in the coliseum.. With that flame , the Raiders may make this year a fitting tribute to MR RAIDER , AL DAVIS.. Barring anymore injuries to their star players , I see the raiders doing very well this year, Maybe not a division title , but a wild card berth , and if they play raider like football could very well win it all, they did before as a wild card team , and they would like to do it , as the final tribute to their owner and mentor AL DAVIS..
