Palmer had four top-tens in passer rating; Dalton has one. Palmer led the league in tds one season and had 6 top-tens; Dalton has 3 top tens. In passing yards Palmer finished in the top 5 four times and in the top 10 eight times; Dalton has one top 10 and zero top-5..
...and Carson's had three seasons with over 20 INTs, while Andy's only had one. Carson's had 3 seasons where he threw as many or more INTs than TDs (one was an injury shortened season), while Andy's only ever come close to doing that once. Carson fumbles more, and Andy does more with his legs than Carson ever did (10 more TDs and almost 700 yards more in 6 less seasons). We could do this forever if we want.
Said it before and I'll say it again, if the two were going to post as similar numbers as they did, give me the cheaper guy so that I can spend that money or the higher draft pick elsewhere (AJ Green).
