'06....2nd in TD passes, 5th in passing yards, 6th in passer rating
'15....2nd in TD passes, 4th in passing yards, 3rd in passer rating
After his injury Palmer finished in the top ten in passing yards 7 times, top ten in passer rating 3 times, and top ten in TDs 5 times.
Over his entire career Andy Dalton finished in the top ten in passing yards once, top ten in passer rating once and top ten in TDs 3 times.
So how is this comparison "spot on"?
Palmer's injury is an enigma in my brain and I suspect many other people's as well. I "remember" Palmer coming back and being afraid to plant his leg and sailing the ball over his receiver's heads, and yelling at him for it. But when I look at the stats for the year after his injury, that's obviously not what occurred.
