And folks pointing to his success and record books with Arizona won't mean much as it relates to what he did here and what the next QB has to surpass.

We can compare their outside success when Dalton starts elsewhere. Until then, not sure why people are pointing to Arizona so much.

If anything Palmer having a modicum of success (by the standards of loser franchises, let's be honest here) in AZ is relevant in the sense that the current topic of debate is "Will the Bengals limit Burrow's success and potential?"  Palmer achieving more in the twilight of his career than he did in his prime may indicate the organization he spent said prime with wasn't exactly setting him up for success.

Dalton having a better winning percentage than Palmer in Cincy leads to me saying Palmer had a better winning percentage in AZ than Kurt Warner.  It's a nice stat, but it's not something a man on the street in Anytown USA is going to care about.

Again, this isn't me saying Palmer is a godly QB but you have to admit him doing better when he wasn't with the Bengals and Raiders MAY indicate something.
