Raiderdrive-BayAreaSportsDrive had the opportunity to ask the fans in Silver & Black what their thoughts were of new QB Palmer. Will he be the leader in the Silver & Black? Giving up a first and second for year one and two? Could Palmer be the Factor that the Raiders need? Would Mr. AL Davis have approved? As the movie with John Travolta Chili Palmer—Cool-calm and collective took care of business in the line of fire if the money was right. But in the end, Chili Palmer did what he felt was right in his heart and walked off into the sunset as a winner.

We asked fans the 12th Man from the Oakland Coliseum what their thoughts were.

 Dain (left photo-2nd-right): I think that the Palmer trade was good. We had to go get him. Hey, if the guy Jason Campbell goes down then the next man up. We go get the next guy out there that can do the job and Palmer is the man with experience under his belt who knows how to win. He’s worth it! I’m a Raider for life!

RAIDETTORE from Oroville California: He looks s like a good QB. We have to do what we have two do now, not worry about tomorrow. Go Raiders. Glad for him to be here.

Naila from Concord California. (Left)) “Well, I think we should go with him. Hey-He’s better than Jason Campbell but what when Campbell comes back?” Campbell was inconsistent and palmer might just be the answer.”

Noben Gonzalez from Northern Hill California (Bottom right): We have to see how he plays his downs and feel comfortable with the offense and how he makes his plays. We will see week-by-week. I hope he is ready for the Raider Nation and see if the coaching staff made the right decision. We are the notorious from the Raider Nation. We have a good veteran and we will be behind him to lead the way.”
