Dalton started as a rookie on a team that was supposed to go winless, and made the playoffs. 

And Palmer (who was also a #1OA like Mayfield) sat behind Kitna for year. This is what he said about not starting his first year:

"I think it's the best thing for me and the team and the organization," Palmer said. "They've made an investment in me, and it's going to take time for me to pay back that investment. I'm going to have to learn this offense and get used to the NFL."
