As for the dig toward Dalton, I think there's no way around the comment. It's an honest evaluation. Dalton was good for a handful of years but it's time to move on. Let's see if he can resurrect his career elsewhere like Palmer did.
While overall I'd say Palmer was slightly better than Dalton, I think 2011 Dalton was better than 2010 Palmer, who threw 20 picks, 5 being returned for TDs. As much as it's time to move on from Dalton, it was also time to move on from Palmer after 2010. Palmer wasn't finished and neither is Dalton. Things just stagnated and devolved in both instances.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
