4000 yards, 22 TDs, 14 INTs in his only full season. 85.3 rating with no-name WRs.
If AJ McCarron is worth a (high) 2nd, Palmer was worth a (low) 1st and 2nd. They were/are in different stratospheres.
Palmer and Dalton = proven franchise guys
McCarron = you hope that maybe he could become a viable starter, but there's only 5 games to go on...with mixed at best results
Big difference there.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
