I suppose that'd be an upgrade from getting benched on his birthday.
Dalton would be more deserving than Palmer, but I'd say it's a pretty firm no for both.
The standard should be very high, and we have plenty of more deserving players.

He still had to play Pittsburgh twice a year when they were in all essence mugging him so he couldn't catch the ball, often triple teaming him which lead to the Issac Curtis rule of no contact after 5 yards. Before then defenses got away with blatant pass interference all the time.
This is irrelevant when you're comparing them against their peers.
I've had this Curtis vs Chad debate too many times to count in my 10 years on here.
Enough times to remember all the stats and know Chad was far more dominant against his peers.
That's the best way to compare players from different eras.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
