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.

The 4th quarter comeback franchise record his rookie year is big too. Those kind of stats don't get inflated as the years go on, but I do mostly agree with you about the other franchise records. They're still pretty impressive to me though. Considering Dalton broke them only a few years after Palmer left.
