But, you have to admit him breaking the 48th quarter comeback franchise record his first year, having the Bengals passing records, and having the best road record in his first 5 years in the history of the NFL is still pretty impressive.

It's impressive, but you also have to take into account the fact that the game is designed to make QB records much easier and Dalton is breaking the records of a guy who is out west breaking the records of Kurt Warner.  It's sort of like in today's NFL if your QB is breaking old franchise records (see Fitzpatrick FINALLY breaking Namath's TD record for the Jets, or Jay Cutler's inability to break Erik Kramer's TD record for the Bears) if you are even a remotely decent starting QB. Dalton's road record is significant because it is compared to the rest of the NFL, so that is a good one. Bengals franchise records? Meh, you're supposed to break those if you don't stink.

Breaking franchise records is nice, but a lot of them are just sort of expected of a QB who isn't a one-year bum.
