Id rather start Palmer than boller 9/10 times. Granted that he wasnt practicing at full speed but hes been active with trainers and few nfl receivers that spoke nothing but good words about his conditioning. His arm is healed to throw them deep, we dont need him to make plays on the ground, as long as he has some kind of mobility just in case for a lil quick playaction or if the pocket collapses. As a great of coach hue jackson is, he'll call plays that palmer could relate too and get it off quick. A deterent of putting him in is he needs time with our wr's, enough time to all be on the same page. Our rush defense is improving every week and i think letting our secondary unit get healthy has shown some signs that they'll be able to continue with their success. I see boss having a huge game this week. I think if we put palmer in there thats gonna be his safe pass knowing hes a big target going up the middle, the kind of success we had when zach miller was with us.
27-16 Raiders. I like how our bye weeks been landing close to mid season these last two yrs....
