I don't think there's anyone here who would take Dalton over pre-injury Palmer, but the fact is the injuries happened. You can't change the fact that they happeend. And while they and the other factors certainly had an effect on Palmer, the fact remains that Dalton was a better QB for the Bengals than Palmer was.
The thread title is Burrow vs Palmer...
Meaning I’m comparing current projected #1 pick Burrow to former #1 pick Carson Palmer pre-injury.
Dalton is at best an average to below average QB who is the least consistent QB in the NFL. He only succeeded when he everyone around him was healthy and there was talent all over the offense. Even then he was lucky enough to have better defenses than Carson ever had.
AJ Green was a way better talent than Chad was for Palmer. Palmer more than likely made Chad Johnson look better than we was. While AJ Green made Andy look better than he is. There’s no doubt in my mind that had the roles were reversed and Palmer played on the team Dalton was on and vice versa Palmer would have done much better than 1 td 6 interceptions in the playoffs.
