The numbers between Dalton and Palmer are remarkably similar over the last 4 years (during Palmer's AZ stint):

Palmer
92.0 passer rating
14,804 pass yards
96 TDs to 50 INTs

Dalton
91.7 passer rating
15,147 pass yards
95 TDs to 52 INTs

Nevermind that Dalton is able to run when needed or escape the pocket and get yards (678 yards and 13 TDs rushing - compared to 90 yards and 1 TD for Palmer) which has been a handy trait lately. Honestly, I'd say the weapons are a wash and Palmer has had the better coach, so I don't see why people think he'd somehow do better in Andy's situation.

The whole Palmer/Dalton thing has been a bit of an either/or situation.  I will give Palmer the nod in the sense that he has a winning record against the biggest division foe he has in the Seahawks...but who knows...that's Marvin right?  Marvin can't beat the Steelers, win in prime-time, or win in the playoffs because Palmer did those things once he got away from Marvin.

That's the reason for the pessimism around here; we might never get to see what player(s) XY & Z can do without Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis capping their success.  So it goes.
