Outside of a very few posters on this form do you think anyone would take you serious if you were to say right now today you would rather have Dalton than Palmer....please bro give it a rest.  You can pretend that it's just some National slight against Andy but he's not a good quarterback and is it considered as such because he is unbelievably inconsistent. The reason he gets slammed is because his team is considered the in the top talent wise in the league despite Dalton. The team you mention with Plamer they had great stats because of Palmer do you see the difference?
Andy has accomplished exactly the same as what Palmer did...nothing in the playoffs spin it however you want it is still nothing in the playoffs. The reason he gets banged on is because any number of other quarterbacks would have advanced he is the Achilles' heel of this team.

No, I don't see a difference.  And thank you for your nomination.  Coming from you it is a real complement. 

If Dalton had the best talent in the league, why did everyone predict they would go 0-16 in a season where he was thrust in as starter (Palmer had a year to sit behind Kitna), had no OTAs, but still took them to the playoffs?  Palmer took a VERY talented team to the playoffs twice, and lost right away.  Don't make it sound like he was the reason they made the playoffs, either.  That 2009 team won because of defense and a healthy running game.  Not Palmer. 

You would think by now that the "any number of QBs could have advanced this team" would have stopped as people saw massive failures in the defense and injuries that lead in part to a much greater pass rush for the opposition, but facts are simply lost on people who would rather call Dalton an "Achilles Heel".
