In regards to the Palmer's unfavorable stats - I am sure he also has favorable stats - but, in the end, I am not familiar with Arizona's offense, however, Palmer (much like other QB's - and even RB's) can be dangerous in the right offense. He may not be a first ballot NFL Hall of Fame QB, or even a hall of fame QB at all, but that is far from making him a bad QB.
Also, Palmer's early departure may end up hurting Pryor long-term - perhaps, Pryor's growth would have been better with another year behind a veteran NFL QB. Maybe not - at this point it is too early to tell, but it is possible.
Arizona coach is about to pull Palmer if he continue to throw INT for TD's, i agreed, Pryor might just need a veteran qb to show him the in & out of being a professional.
Raiders can fine a cheaper vet. qb to work with Pryor then what Palmer wanted.
