He's not Joe Burrow. He's not Aaron Rodgers. The guy averaged over 16 ints per 16 games. Stats were often Andy Dalton-ish, but people looked past that.
He was closer to Drew Bledsoe, except he never made a Super Bowl. Both had the "look". Both flashed immense potential. Both routinely disappointed and threw bone headed picks.
He bordered on great when he was at his best, but that didn't happen enough. Did the FO fail him a bit from 2007 to 2010? Probably. Should he shoulder some of the blame himself? Yep. He won't though.
Man I remember when Google would suggest "Pick Six Palmer" as like the second or third choice after typing "Pick Six"
Palmer injected life into the franchise and had some great statistical years but I'd take Dalton's attitude and TD/INT ratio over Palmer. Dalton at least accepted he'd never be better than a top 10 QB. Palmer acted like a Top 5 QB without producing like one.
If he's still allowed to be butthurt over the organization, then fans are still allowed to be butthurt over him quitting on the franchise.
