To tie something together maybe
There are guys who love what they do. Whether in sports or other walks they generally excel and otherwise rise above. Not to say the other guys are lagging or doing less than they should. In NFL I'm thinking of a guy like Farve, or in soccer a guy named Harry Kane fits this profile. MJ in the NBA. The guys that are the first in the facility and last out. I suspect that the first tier of players in any sport are populated by such guys. They love what they do, have talent to match, and also perhaps a sense of humility in terms of realizing the fleeting nature of life that drives them to put in the ejxtra effort. Not casting aspersions on Dalton's work ethic, I'm sure he's a fine professional, with a chance yet to have a great career. His ceiling is upper 2nd tier I think. Personally I'm curious to see how he does if price turns out to be what we all hope.
Maybe you're talking about "killer instict" (something MJ, Kobe, Montana and Brady have in spades)?
As far as that goes, I don't get that sense from Dalton (nor did I feel it with Palmer). His work ethic is exemplary though, IMO.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
