Just for kicks, ran a comparison(nflcomparisons.com) between the two QBs in the years that they were both actively playing, same time(2012-2017).
There isn't one, single, solitary stat, regular season or playoffs where Palmer was green and RW was red. Green=higher stat/rating.
Curious choice for Pete; it must have been the intangibles.
When a journalist asked Pete "if you could go into a lab and create the perfect QB, what traits would that QB have and how would he play?"
His answer was "There's never been a more perfect guy than Carson Palmer. I mean he was perfect. He was big, he was strong, he was fast, he was a great athlete, he was a great competitor. He was number one in the draft, a Heisman Trophy winner. I always thought he was as perfect as you can get."
(If anyone wants to hear him say it, it's around the 4:55 mark in the video)
