ALF Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 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.

DefenseWins Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Geno Smith to the Raiders at 3 Matt Barkley to the Cardinals at 7 Tyler Wilson to the Bills at 8. Meh http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/25/report-highly-unlikely-carson-palmer-restructures-deal-with-raiders/ Sounds more like Palmer ends up in Arizona leaving Barkley for the Bills if they want him....

CaliBillsfan Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 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.

ALF Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Philadelphia Eagles: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia 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. http://walterfootbal...m/draft2013.php SiriusXM NFL Radio 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.

thewildrabbit Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWins Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 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....

sesnapapa Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 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...

sesnapapa Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I really think people don't understand what kind of arm this guy has... It's stronger than both Manning and Brady...

Maddog69 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 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.

Smoke-E Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guffalo Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 We currently do not have a bona fide QB on the roster, I would take a washed up veteran even if he is used as a mentor to whatever we draft, Don't take Nassib in the first, see what is available in the 2nd, and let em wrestle it out in camp. If we suck (most likely) we will be drafting early next year where there are at least 3 starting caliber QBs available in the draft. If the draft pick from this year has promise, but we still suck? Get Jadaveon Clowney as your consolation prize if the 2013 QB pick is solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sesnapapa Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Drew Bledsoe lite. Well, not exactly... Drew was someone who didn't like Buffalo from the beginning, because he played for a Super Bowl winning team prior to getting shipped(and probably rightfully should have gotten his job back in NE) and Carson has been exiled to that team called the RAIDERS and would probably do anything to get off that island... and might I add has a MORE LIVE arm than what Bledsoe had when he got here!

He was a healthy scratch on a bad team with bad quarterbacking. A vetern like Palmer is a neccesity at this point. We need warm bodies. We need competition. We need some degree of talent at QB. Palmer provides that. The question is - at what price and will he come to BFLO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamSandwhich Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) I don't think Carson Palmer was the problem on Oakland actually, he had a pretty good season, that team just isn't that good. He would be a good stop-gap to let a rookie learn the ropes. I know I know, there are plenty of examples where college players stepped right in and did a great job last year, but that, to me, over the bigger picture, is the exception rather than the rule. This year just happened to have more than one that made the leap easily. I'm for Palmer, and believe he has more in the tank than many give him credit for. Better than any QB we've had in the last 10 years. Why not? Edited March 28, 2013 by HamSandwhich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 He's better than anyone they have now or have had in several years. If they can't get who they want in the draft or pick someone who isn't ready to start day one (hey, remember when rookie QBs held a clipboard for a year or two?), he would be as good as is available as a 1-2 year stop gap.

Kirby Jackson Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 There is zero chance of this happening. If Palmer is looking at $5-6M (plus $3m in dead $ from Fitz) we are talking about the same $ as keeping Fitz. Over the last 3 seasons that they have played their numbers have been similar. The decision has been made to turn the page and it is the right decision. They are not pursuing a 30 something QB that hasn't been good in a decade.

Sisyphean Bills Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 He's an instant upgrade to Tarvaris Jackson. And, you'd know he wouldn't be coming to Buffalo, or anywhere else, out of some sense of loyalty to the business. Also, the Raiders sucked before he got there and I'd bet they will suck after he is gone as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't really choose the Raiders, so to say he quit on them (like he owed them something) is silly. Why should anyone have to play for crap teams their entire career, and then be criticized for taking less money because they want to win? "A guy that puts winning ahead of money", sounds like the right attitude to me. He isn't coming to Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
