Why mention him? Pretty simple. Most Dalton bashers have a (much) higher opinion of Palmer. Palmer and his abysmal 4-8 record vs the Steelers is a good chunk of Marv's overall 5-13 record vs the Steelers with other QB's. Btw...we're not going to pretend 4-8 is a respectable mark...right?

Palmer: 4-8 vs Steelers with a 76.7 passer rating 
Dalton: 3-10 vs Steelers with a 75.6 passer rating (this is counting his broken thumb "start")
Other QBs (Kitna, Fitzpatrick, McCarron): 1-5 vs Steelers with a 76.8 passer rating
Marvin Lewis: 8-23 vs Steelers (including playoffs)

Hmm...

Good point. Strapped with the same coach and management one QB has an abysmal record...the other is worse than abysmal!

I would say most football fans...as opposed to Dalton bashers...have a much higher opinion of Palmer. I mean come on man, when a guy in his prime is considered to be the low water mark on if you sholuld move on to a new QB...that is not a ringing endorsement of how he is viewed.
