The drop-off between him and Stanton wasn't that dramatic if Palmer is supposed to be the fully-developed pro version of a Heisman trophy winner (not that a Heisman trophy should have any bearing on a pro career anyways).

The offense took a pretty big hit after Palmer went down.  You could say the season was super-over when Stanton got injured, but the drop off from Palmer to Stanton was seen on paper and in the wins column.  Stanton played admirably, but I'd say losing neraly 8% on the completion %, over 16 points in QBR, and throwing 1 less TD and tossing an extra pick per game are decent enough drops to be noticeable.

Now the drop from Stanton to Lindley was a killer, that's for sure.
