1.b Cook- just on what he did in the short time and how he even won MVP while injured. And of course what he could have been.
2. Boomer- He had the best PA I've ever seen, even to this day. I liked the way he wouldn't hesitate to tell someone what he thought. He had fire.
4. Palmer- I want to pick Andy here but I just can't do it. Let's not down play how awesome Palmer was. On second thought, he quit on his team so I'm going to put Andy here after all.
3. Dalton- Just stay healthy and perform in the big games for crying out loud.
5. Blake- For a short QB he wasn't bad. He had the prettiest deep rainbow pass.

What's a "big game"? Primetime games?

While Carson Palmer was at the helm, he completed 224 passes out of 404 attempts (55.5%) for 2,385 yards, 12 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. Carson Palmer had a quarterback rating of 74.5 in primetime (excluding the Steelers and Jets playoff games); nothing extraordinary by any means.

Also, while here, Palmer himself did not win many "big games". Not sure why people focus on Dalton but exclude Palmer.

Palmer has a QB rating of 66.9 in the playoffs. He's thrown 7 INts in 4 games (3 since you can't really count the Steelers game).

Dalton has a QB rating of 57.8 in the playoffs. He's thrown 6 INTs in 4 full games.


He did well in the regular season with stats and has talent. But people overlook what Dalton has done because it comes down to post season success.
