CP3: Carson Palmer is a Leader
Should Starting Carson Palmer, be seen as a weakness, or a positive? I believe, Carson Palmer is in no way sub-standard. In the 2012 Season so far he has shown poise, leadership, and game awareness like a true veteran player should. He knows what is expected of him while on the field with his team mates.
His play during this last Sundays win over the Kansas City Chiefs was impeccable. His first pass was picked off by former Raider Stanford Routt. After this turn over, he would only make wise decisions from here on out!

10 Things We Learned from San Diego Chargers' Win
It wasn’t pretty but it was a win. Specifically, a win against the Oakland Raiders, and there have been seasons where that was the only win that mattered.
Given Chargers fans' specific concerns going into the game, there was a lot to be pleased with after the game’s conclusion. A team and a season are both works in progress. Like a horse heading into the home stretch, a team wants to heat up at just the right time. The Bolts have never been able to do that. That’s why fans are so skeptical and subsequently frustrated.
However, last night was a good start. There were more reasons to be optimistic in an “ugly” game than in a “fast” 4-1 start like a year ago. There were still flaws galore which Bolt-heads lamented and which ended up dooming the team in the end.
It’s a new season and the sample size is only a single game. Let’s look at 10 things we learned, if only for one night.

Carson Palmer with the Media Thursday Sept 6th
Carson Palmer On San Diego: “It’s a good unit. Defensively they’ve looked really good on film in the preseason. They played well against us last year in the finale. Their offense can score a ton of points. There are a lot of things to worry about. They’ve got a new coordinator. Week one you never know exactly what you’re going to see. You’ve got to be ready for everything. We’re not real, real comfortable going into this. We’ve had a great start to the week, we’re working extremely hard, and we’re going to go in and we know we have to play our best football offensively to come out with the win.”

NFL Preseason Games 2012: Studs and Duds from Saturday's Action
Studs: Terrelle Pryor/Juron Criner, Oakland Raiders
By Jesse Reed (Featured Columnist)
Terrelle Pryor was the best quarterback on the field when the Oakland Raiders and Detroit Lions went toe-to-toe on Saturday night.
Yes, you read that right.
In a game when Matthew Stafford went down with another injury (apparently a minor one, according to ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert) and Carson Palmer stunk up the joint (more on that later), Pryor gave the fans in the Black Hole something to cheer about.
He only threw the ball five times, completing three of them, for a whopping 137 yards. Out of those three completions, two of them went for touchdowns. One was 39 yards and the other a 76-yard bomb—both of which were caught by Juron Criner in the fourth quarter.
Criner only caught those two passes, but his work was more than enough to be worthy of a spot on tonight's "studs" list.
I suggest every RAIDERS fan who loves to tailgate, the keg2go is great.
MEMO TO REG: PRYOR CAN STAY
Oakland has a new favorite QB on the Roster ready to step up into the game any moment he is called upon. I want to see Terelle Pryor and Carson Palmer work as together in a duo for the Raiders. It will bring pro-style gamble as well, but what if all teams started doing this. Imagine how many great plays we aren't seeing because of player fatigue. Running Backs go in and out of the game frequently, so why don't teams utilize every position in the same fashion.
I Hope to see a lot of Terelle Pryor in the flat catching screen passes, that he then launches downfield to DHB or Street-Rod. Or in some other innovative offensive scheme that incorporates both in the backfield. Because these two have completely different sets of skills. CP3 has the sound mechanics, the precise accuracy, and the will to win. Many think the last one can't be taught, and I agree. TP6 has the will to win that some may say it's enough will to need no skill.
Dennis, whatever you decide to do with this team will be fine, just know that this group can dominate if used in the correct manner. Everything is where it is, at this exact moment, for a specific reason. And this group is here to wow NFL Fans for the first time since the "greatest show on turf."

Heyward-Bey pleads no contest to DUI charge
By The Sports Xchange | The SportsXchange – Mon, Jul 23, 2012 6:10 PM EDT
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey pleaded no contest on Monday to a misdemeanor DUI charge that resulted from an arrest in April, the Contra Costa Times reported.
Heyward-Bey was stopped by police around 2 a.m. on April 7 while returning from a nightclub, his attorney, Ivan Golde, told the newspaper. The California Highway Patrol said a chemical test administered at the scene indicated his blood-alcohol level was .13 percent.
Heyward-Bey, 25, agreed to plead no contest to the misdemeanor charge in exchange for three years' probation and three months of DUI classes. He also will pay fines.
Heyward-Bey had 64 receptions for 975 yards in 2011.
