MY BOLD PREDICTION

1. Name some examples. Palmer didn't "pave the way" to anything but a hard time for Dalton. He left him a 4-12 team in a state of chaos from Carson's sudden departure. Thanks, I guess? 

2. Dalton actually finished 3rd in TD passes when he broke the franchise record. Making stuff up seems to be a theme with you. 

3. The consensus is that Marv changed the culture. Only a CP fanboy would claim it was Carson. You can twist it to make it sound worse, but Carson didn't take over a 90's team. He took over an 8-8 squad that barely missed the playoffs with Jon Kitna at QB. The culture change was already in full effect when CP took over. 

BTW, I guess Palmer's culture changing prowess was on vacation in Oakland, eh? 

4. Lol. "If". 

5. I'm going to bookmark this for later. McCarron won't touch Dalton's 106.3 rating.

6. Link? Truth is, you have no idea what talent evaluators would say as of now. Palmer was a first overall pick, whereas Dalton was a 2nd round choice. Jamarcus Russell was a first overall pick while Drew Brees was a 2nd rounder. Leaf was a 2nd overall pick, whereas Brady was a 6th rounder. Point is, talent evaluators aren't always right. Palmer has better physical tools than Brady. Is he better? Nope. Palmer has a better arm than most QBs, including Dalton. That said, Palmer has always been prone to some real head scratching throws. He's also never had the brains to master an offense. He STILL uses a cheat sheet. Dalton is better with pre-snap adjustments and more athletic. Accuracy is good for both. 

Palmer (like Dalton) is having an incredible season. It seems like that has made people forget about how mediocre  Palmer has been in all but 2 seasons (2005 & 2015). He's thrown 20+ INTs three times and has a higher career INT rate than Dalton. He fumbles more often than Dalton.

To sum it up, you ignore Palmer's failures and credit Dalton's success to Palmer. Seems legit. Nevermind that Palmer never attained this level of success here himself in 8 years, and he left the team in worse shape (4-12) than when he got it (8-8). Your only other argument is "talent evaluators" and you honestly have no clue what they'd say. In other words, you have nothing.
