I don't care if he has sat for 2 years, he has to be better than Kyle Boller, who would be their QB right now if not for that.

They have a great running game and the defense can play good enough to win, as long as Palmer gives it to McFadden and Bush 30-40 times per game and his arm is a good enough threat to back people off of him, they will be fine.

Remember, Jason Campbell's numbers over his career put him smack dab in the middle of the NFL. So as long as Carson is average, they will be okay. His arm is certainly more than average, so maybe like Randy Moss deep ball ability, just the "fear" of his arm can back defenses up a little.

If it's the fear of his arm, then the defenses are probably just as afraid of the dark and Black Helicopters! I've lived it, I can only thank the Raiders for taking the salary. I wish him all the luck in the rest of his career. He was a great guy, but he screwed the fans of Cincinnati by not honoring a contract that he was willing to sign. In the end, it worked out well for the fans of the Bengals!
