Let's see...


Dalton was 29 of 51 (56.9%) for 334 yards, a 6.5 average, 1 TD, 2 INTs, 2 fumbles, 1 lost for 3 total turnovers, 67.0 rtg
Palmer was 25 of 41 (61.0%) for 349 yards, an 8.5 average, 3 TDs, 2 INTs, 1 fumble, 0 lost for 2 total turnovers, 92.4 rtg


Meh, I realize you and I are both pretty biased, but that doesn't seem all that close to me.  For all the "what ifs" and "couldashouldabeens" Palmer had 3 TDs and 2 TOs and Dalton had 1 TD and 3 TOs and that might very well be the only stat that matters. It can't be a coincidence that between Dalton and Palmer we are looking at 6 playoff starts and the one single time either of them posted a TD to TO ratio that was positive it was a win.

It hain't rocket science!
