Carson was lighting it up there, despite no defense and limited offensive talent.
They felt screwed when their cap indiscretions caught up to them and he would not re-negotiate his contract, forcing them to trade or release him.

61.1 completion percentage. 22 TDs. 14 INTs. 5 fumbles. Qb rating of 85.3. That's not really 'lighting it up' at all.
I mean, Josh Freeman had a similar year as Palmer. Qb was still a problem in Oakland. They went from 8-8 to 4-12 after Hue left.
Oakland went from having the 9th best offense, averaged 131 rushing yards a game, and 22.4 points a game to the 18th best offense, 88 rushing yards per game, and 18 points a game. And that's when Palmer had a full offseason and everything in Oakland rather than being thrown out there.
