My criteria for a HOF QB is you have to be a Top 5-6 QB for a number of years. That's the only way to account for the changing rules and stats in the NFL.
Palmer was only a Top 5-6 QB for probably 1 season. He may have been in the 7-10 range some seasons...but that's just a good QB. Not a HOF guy.
The case will be the same with Dalton. He is putting up big numbers...but if you rank which QB's you'd want to have leading your team...he comes out 12-15.
Maybe as guys retire and he gets better with Ross and the offensive weapons he has he will move up the list and become Top 5. Some guys get there in their 30's.
I kinda see Dalton as a Rich Gannon-type QB who was VERY good in his prime.
