Mike Brown got lucky. Anyone can see that Carson Palmer is damaged goods. The Raiders are stupid, what can I say? The irony here is that Palmer did Mike Brown a favor by forcing him to get rid of him. Otherwise he would be out there stinking up the field again instead of Dalton who actually has talent.
Speaking of Dalton, Brown did not want him originally. Mike Brown wanted the drunkard Ryan Mallett instead as ESPN reported. Hilarious!!

So as you can see, Mikey got lucky, but mark my words, he will screw it all up!!
From my observations, the only time the Bungs have some measure of success is when new talent comes there way. It happened origionally when Palmer and crew came to town. There is a brief window where new talent often has the chance at success, but then something happens. Their skills start to diminish coupled with subpar coaching and a gradual disillusionment with the organization starts to set in. Before you know it, Dalton and company will have officially become Bungalized and be held hostage by Mikey like Carson was. I say this year and next will be their only window of oppurtunity for success. After that the window shuts and then we await new victims to come into the organization. Yep, Mike Brown is like a friggin venus flytrap. My guess is that they may make the playoffs but, as usual, not win once there.
So there you have it. Brown did not want to let go of Carson, who is a has been, but was forced to do so. He also favored a never was in Mallett, instead of Dalton. So Brown was basically forced and tricked into any success he is currently having.
So let me ask you, what is more pathetic? Is it more pathetic that Marvin Lewis is the Bungs winningest coach in Bungle history and has never won a playoff game, or is it more pathetic that he is the losingest coach?
Edit: I'll give you a hint, it's a trick question. Don't answer.
Ah!!! I strangely feel a little better. Thanks man!! 😵
