PFT: Rams, Bolts, Bucs, Colts possible for Fisher
Getty ImagesWhen the Raiders decided to trade their 2012 first-round draft pick for Carson Palmer in the middle of the season, it was all about winning now, which meant the move would only make sense if Palmer could lead the Raiders to the playoffs.
And Palmer didn?t lead the Raiders to the playoffs. So when Palmer was asked after Sunday?s loss to the Chargers whether this season was a failure, he acknowledged that it was.
?It was this year,? Palmer told the San Francisco Chronicle. ?It didn?t work out for us this year. I always feel like when you don?t win, the quarterback can always play better, and I can definitely play better. It stinks to sit here and say next year, what are we going to do next year. We?ll get back together, look at film, find ways to get better, find a way to get to the playoffs next year.?
One thing that will hamper the Raiders? efforts to get to the playoffs next season, and in the next few seasons, is that in addition to trading away their 2012 first-round draft pick for Palmer, they?ve also already spent their third- and fourth-round picks on quarterbacks: They used their third-round pick to get Terrelle Pryor in the supplemental draft, and they used their fourth-round pick to get Jason Campbell, whose injury precipitated the trade for Palmer.
So the Raiders have invested heavily in the quarterback position. And that investment didn?t pay off with a trip to the playoffs.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Police in Los Angeles distributed DVDs on Sunday featuring surveillance video of a man wanted for questioning in connection with a rash of suspicious car fires in the city.
The person of interest is a white male between 20 and 30 years old with a receding hairline and a shoulder-length ponytail, according to Officer Sara Faden. The man was seen on video Saturday after emerging on foot from inside an underground parking structure on Hollywood Boulevard that was the scene of a car fire.
Detectives estimated the man, who was wearing a bulky jacket, is between 5-feet-6 and 6-feet-1.
Faden said investigators are asking for the public's help in identifying the man on the video.
Detectives spent early Sunday analyzing security video camera footage and following up on other leads after a half dozen more vehicles were set on fire on New Year's Eve.
The outbreak of arson fires has left a trail of smoldering debris in Hollywood, West Hollywood, North Hollywood and the Fairfax district of Los Angeles since Thursday.
Authorities said they were investigating a total of 43 suspicious fires. Most of those fires were set in parked cars. In several cases, flames have jumped to carports and apartment units.
A reward of $60,000 has been offered for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the arsonist.
Detectives served a search warrant at a home in the San Fernando Valley, Det. Gus Villanueva said Sunday. Several interviews were conducted, but no arrests were made.
"They are working on hundreds of clues, interviewing dozens of witnesses, picking up countless pieces of evidence," police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said of the detectives.
Authorities haven't said how the car fires were sparked or what was collected at the crime scenes. They were unsure if the rash of fires were the work of one arsonist or multiple people or copycats.
There have been no injuries.
Extra patrols were out in force on New Year's Eve. One of Saturday's attacks occurred at the Hollywood and Highland entertainment complex, a popular tourist destination and hotspot for holiday revelers. Firefighters responded to a report of a small car fire in a parking structure that was out by the time they arrived.
Firefighters routinely are called to put out burning cars, but this recent spate has been unusual because of the frequency and location of the fires. Crews have been responding to other emergencies despite the focus on solving the fire arsons, fire spokesman Erik Scott said.
Police urged residents to check their cars for any signs of tampering and take simple precautions such as locking their cars, keeping garage and carport lights on at night and reporting suspicious activity.
"We are not going to rest," Los Angeles Fire Department assistant chief Pat Butler said Sunday at a joint police-fire news conference. "We are going to work tirelessly."
Police officials were working with Sheriff's Department detectives, city and county fire investigators and members of the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.

Amber Portwood Commemorates New Year's Eve in Crowded Jail Cell
Young stars such as Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato and Justin Bieber rang in 2012 with terrific live performances last night. Countless others partied.
Amber Portwood crashed on the floor of a jail cell.
According to law enforcement sources, Indiana's Madison County Jail did not do anything to mark NYE. Visiting hours were 7:00-7:30 p.m. Amber had none.
At least she wasn't alone. Due to overcrowding, Amber has been transferred out of the cell she shared with one other inmate and into a room with several others!
Portwood's prison pals' convictions range from probation violations - which is what's keeping Amber in jail for a month - to dealing a controlled substance. Nice.
The accommodations were less than luxurious. As part of moving into that large room, instead of a bed, she slept on a vinyl mattress on the concrete floor.
This is what happens when you're arrested AND fail to comply with terms of your probation, kids ... onerous tasks such as passing drug tests and obeying laws.
As we look ahead to a new year:
- Glass half full: Things can only get better in 2012!
- Glass half empty: Maybe not. We said that a year ago after she spent Christmas in jail in 2010. She and Jenelle Evans often find a way to lower the bar.

What Did Kristen Stewart Get Robert Pattinson for Christmas?
It's still unclear whether or not Robert Pattinson actually plans to release an album.
But if the actor ever does choose to add "musician" to his resume, girlfriend Kristen Stewart has made sure he's prepared: Us Weekly confirms the Twilight Saga star purchased two vintage guitars for Robert over Christmas, a 1959 Fender Jazzmaster and a 1947 K&F Lap Steel. Total price tag: $12,000.
"She said 'He's gonna sh-t when he sees them!'" Norman Harris, the owner of Norman's Rare Guitars and the man who sold the items to Stewart, told the tabloid.
It's unclear what Rob got Kristen in return, but this much is certain: despite various rumors to the contrary, these two are doing just fine.
