Meaning I’m comparing current projected #1 pick Burrow to former #1 pick Carson Palmer pre-injury.
Dalton is at best an average to below average QB who is the least consistent QB in the NFL. He only succeeded when he everyone around him was healthy and there was talent all over the offense. Even then he was lucky enough to have better defenses than Carson ever had.
AJ Green was a way better talent than Chad was for Palmer. Palmer more than likely made Chad Johnson look better than we was. While AJ Green made Andy look better than he is. There’s no doubt in my mind that had the roles were reversed and Palmer played on the team Dalton was on and vice versa Palmer would have done much better than 1 td 6 interceptions in the playoffs.
I wonder how Andy would perform behind the OL Palmer had and having RB that were chewing up the opposing defenses with 200 yard games regularly. Palmer had it good early in his career with a good supporting cast and when that cast was starting to leave it impacted his play and without that cast he cried his way out.
Andy stuck it out and hopefully can find a new home.
As for Burrow; welcome to Jungle where the cats are currently still learning what a block is and how to tackle. It's like playing pee-wee football back in the 80's and early 90's.
