In 2005 he had a defense that had 26 turnovers. For 3 years, that defense was great at turning the ball over. They had 79 interceptions in 4 years (04-07). That's averaging almost 20 interceptions a year.
In 2009 he had a top 5 defense and Chad Ochocinco was actually team first; plus they had a strong running game with Benson.
But Palmer also threw for as many interceptions as Dalton in their first 64 games (66). Palmer did have more touchdowns (105) than Dalton (99), but also more fumbles. Dalton has 11, Palmer had 25.
While I believe Palmer deserves credit for what he's done, let's not act like he didn't have flaws.
