Comon, he only had 3 days of actual practice with the Raiders along with 9 months of rust. Doesn't know the playbook and hasn't developed chemistry with the receivers just yet. Receivers didn't help either with all the dropped passes. Give him 1-2 more games before u judge him...
He was brought in to keep this team rolling and he is no where near ready for that. Failing to make the playoffs this year means the trade for Palmer was a huge failure. Campbell's injury was not career ending, we could have just played like crap till he came back and we would still have some high draft picks and more cash to keep from going well over the cap.
Point blank, without DMC and an ex-retired qb who showed up a few days ago, there's no chance of a playoff birth this season. Although the same might be said with just losing DMC, yet alone losing Campbell.
This season is a write off.

I only caught a bit of last nights game but saw Palmers fumble and interception. Both looked to be not his fault as he was getting blindsided a lot. Your O line needs some serious work or hes going to get injured too.

Palmer is lookin' better. His RB blew a block that caused the pick, but before that he was around 140-150passing rating.
Their run game definitely picked it up though. If it was DMC he would have scored a couple of those breakout runs by Bush, but ya gotta find a way to win when folks are hurt.
