I found this video on ESPN.
Ever since the Raiders Starting Quarter Back Jason Campbell got hurt, the Raiders picked up Carson Palmer. The mystery is continuing in Oakland and it could all the way up until game time Sunday. And Hue Jackson is loving it. Jackson didn’t give any hints of whether newly acquired quarterback Carson Palmer will start Sunday or if backup Kyle Boller will lead the offense against Kansas City.
Jackson said Friday he may not say who will start until game time and he is keeping the drama going because he can. He is enjoying this, and I’m sure part of the secrecy is gamesmanship to keep the Chiefs guessing. I think the final decision will come down to Palmer’s comfort level both physically and with the Raiders’ playbook. Palmer hasn’t played since Jan. 2. If Palmer is comfortable, he will play. If Boller does have to play, for the Raiders’ sake, I hope he had enough practice time, because he needs to be in tune with his teammates as well. If Boller does have to play, for the Raiders’ sake, I hope he had enough practice time, because he needs to be in tune with his teammates as well.
Ultimately, if Palmer doesn’t play, you can’t blame anyone. It makes sense that three days of practice time is not enough time for a quarterback to fully grasp the offense and be ready to lead the team to a win. Also, there is the real chance of Palmer pulling a muscle because of the rust. That would be disastrous. With the Raiders next entering their bye week, it is ideal for Palmer to get plenty of practice time and be ready to play the Broncos. Now lets Go Raiders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
