4 of the 6 guys on that list were 1st overall picks that inherited the absolute bottom-of-the-barrel teams (Palmer had Kitna ease him in, admittedly) so Dalton getting a 4-12 team isn't too absurd. 

Manning drafted after the Colts went 3-13
Marino drafted after the Dolphins went 12-4
Palmer drafted after the Bengals went 2-14
Dalton drafted after the Bengals went 4-12
Bledsoe drafted after the Patriots went 2-14
Newton drafted after the Panthers went 2-14
