You are comparing a seasoned vet stats to a 4+ year QB so you would think the vet would put up a lot better numbers.

My point is QB's who survive their early years more often than not improve with game experience.

Yes, but Palmer also played his prime in days when TD's weren't as plentiful and QBs got rattled a bit more.  My bottom line with Palmer and Dalton is both guys were pretty good and I'm less inclined to pit them as rivals than others.  Dalton is playing better now, so I guess it's cathartic for some people to claim Palmer was somewhat crappy.

I get it, but I just try to be consistent.  I'm more forgiving of Dalton and Palmer compared to my peers.  Most of my friends are Steelers and Packers fans that love to give me a hard time about terrible my favorite 2 QBs are, so I'm used to shrugging.
