We gave up a great deal for Palmer but does any of you think we should pursue Matt Flynn?
Based on conversations with Matt Flynn "in the last few days," Aaron Rodgers believes the Dolphins and Seahawks are the "two top dogs" in the race for the free agent QB. Source: ESPN Milwaukee

Re: Matt Flynn
Please, please, PLEASE trade for another QB.
Matt Flynn seems like he'll be a good career QB

Re: Matt Flynn
and you guys are on drugs if you think palmer should be benched...hmm lets see..he had no real grasp on the offense really do to now training camp...not to mention saunders has one of the most ridiculously large playbooks around..oh and he had no real work with his recievers..no work means no chemistry..no chemistry means mishaps..raiders fans should be happy with palmer..however..you guys always for some reason call for someone to be cut/fired if things are on a fast course to success...oh and you can blame DMC for being such a softy...the guy needs to suck it up...give it some time..and i bet you the raiders will be one of the more successful teams in the AFC west next season..flynn is not the answer...nor is anyone else..

Re: Matt Flynn
As of right now, we have solid depth at QB, but if Palmer goes down we won't have the deep ball as an option. I support Palmer as our QB for the time being because it's not like we have many options at the moment.

Re: Matt Flynn
Wow cant believe you guys want to get rid of Palmer already. He WAS sitting on his couch last year and was thrown to the wolves. Id bet money this year you see a better improved Palmer. He knows the play book now, has spent time with his receivers and has had time to train. I think he will pleasantly surprise alot of people this upcoming season.

Re: Matt Flynn
sad to see palmer go, but absolutely happy to get rid of his contract.
took awhile to calm down but if flynn suck, we will get another high draft pick to build around.
flynn is a good stop gap QB, prior is a long shot but a guy with a high ceiling if he ever figures out the playbook and his mechanics. i think wilson is positively the QB of the future. i hope we don't start him early before he is ready, a la andrew walters.
after enough time to sink in about what reggie is doing, i am 100 % behind our GM and its rebuilding effort. i loved al davis forever, and always name him as one of my all time role models, along with sandy koufax, jackie robinson, bob dylan and thomas jefferson, but his latter years was filled with desperation moves that deviated from his own mantras, commitment to excellence, and the greatness of the raiders is always in its future.
let's go reggie, let's go raiders. nearly 40 years of my fandom will see its daylight soon

Mcgloin looked great playing Dallas. If we could only get so WR's and build the O-Line.
Someone please trade / cut Run DMC. The guy is always hurt.

yeah we have been piss poor at drafting WRs for some time, especially when considering our best 2 WRs in last 2 weeks were both undrafted free agent signees

Re: Matt Flynn
...but, you are from Pangaea of Paleozoic era, and I live in Oregon.
but yeah, Just Win Baby indeed.
BTW both McFadden and Jennings are hurt this week. so is Jeremy Stewart. it's time to call upon Taiwan Jones to see if he can handle being an NFL running back at all. this kid was drafted out of eastern washington as a star running back and we had converted him to a corner due to his size. i want to see him run the ball finally, in silver and black.
