Andy Dalton is really good

This doesn't mean Palmer was a bad QB, but he had weaknesses just like Dalton and just about any other good-but-not-elite QB.

To those saying Dalton is the king of batted balls, name a game where he had several batted down, other than this last one and his playoff game when he was a rookie. You can't, and that's why you had to go back 5 years to name another example.

This is a good example of a claim that sounds like a fact rather than an opinion. 

Here are a few links that describe why COACH Gruden, Garrett, O'Brien, and others explain Why NFL QB's such as Brees, Brady, Roethlisberger, Luck, Wilson, Palmer, Fitzpatrick, and many others use wristband playbooks . As their grasp of situational play calling develops (that is to say,  is expanding or becoming better) the wristband allows them more options. 

The point made by the NFL coaches  is the  smarter a QB becomes in the offense the more likely he will be to utilize the full playbook.  It stands to reason that if their ability to make all the throws corresponds with their heightened understanding of situational play calling,  they will have many more options to choose from. Now there is still a play clock to deal with and to sift thru all of the different situations (2 min offense,What- if defensive injury, personnel groupings on offense, weather, so on & so on) is why the wristband is invaluable to QB's who have enough grasp of the offense to execute. 

Your insinuation that it was or is a weakness of Palmer's is just totally inaccurate. Given that Andy has had to change OC's like most people change underwear may be a reason the wristband has not been implemented with him yet.
