The difference is that Palmer didn't get benched, and Dalton didn't blame the organization, even though he easily could have.
I don't blame either for "quitting", but Dalton played the good soldier for far longer, and he didn't threaten retirement when he wasn't traded. He worked with the organization even though they burned him 5 times harder.
Andy Dalton doesn’t have the leadership to ever ask his boss to improve the team or trade him. But, he did ask to be traded if he wasn’t going to be the starter.
