I'm pretty surprised by how much Palmer did end up fetching. I suppose the Raiders probably had to pay a premium to get Mike Brown to change his mind.

The Bengal team that won their Division had a decent offensive line and run game, and the defence was pretty good. This Raider team has the run game, I'm not really qualified to give much of an opininon on their lines ability to pass protect though. The Raiders defence though doesn't quite match up to what that Bengals team had. Fart today's Bengals have the NFL's top rated defence in terms of yardage although they've had a sweetheart of a schedule as far as the team defence stat goes.

I suppose Campbell hasn't been able to play a full season as a starting QB so that may have helped make up Jacksons mind. Bold move, I guess we'll see if it pays off. I have my doubts about bringing in a new guy mid season to take over as the leader of a team that was doing okay with the last guy. Palmer doesn't know these guys, and he hasn't been with them all season. I would think there might still be a few guys with loyalties to Campbell in that room. Type of move that seems better suited to the offseason to me.
