I have no issues with saying Dalton has had a better career as a Bengal, but he has not had a better career than Palmer as a whole.
Except even if you look at Carson's whole career, Andy still has a higher touchdown percentage, a lower INT percentage, higher quarterback rating, better record, and more playoff seasons than Carson does, Andy's only 2 4th quarter comebacks behind Carson in far fewer seasons, with both having virtually the same completion percentage and yards per catch. The number of stats that Palmer is "statistically superior" in aren't as many as people think outside of raw cumulative numbers, and those are only because he's played 60 more games than Andy has. You could give him yards per game, I guess, but that's just an indication that Carson's played on more bad teams. I just don't see it.
Take into account how much you had to pay for each guy, too, and that skews it even more IMO.
But yeah, the original conversation was their career as a Bengal.
