Andy Dalton is really good

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.

"At Southern Cal, Carson eased into a share of the quarterback job with Mike Van Raaphorst. It marked just the second time in school history that a true freshman started for the Trojans. Hackett had little doubt his freshman could handle the team’s West Coast offense, but was worried about his ability to read signals from the sideline. Carson got his first start against Washington in early November. And sure enough, he blew a play. Quarterbacks coach Ken O’Brien made a motion Carson misread as a deep post pattern for wideout Billy Miller. He hit Miller for a 57-yard touchdown. O’Brien said “Nice call” when Carson trotted off the field, then told him the actual play he had wanted. The Trojans won 33-10, and Carson completed 18 of 31 passes for 279 yards. From that point on, Carson wore a wristband with the plays written out. He ended up starting the final five games for the Trojans, leading the team to an 8-5 record, including a trip to the Sun Bowl."

So no, it had nothing to do with Carson having an expanded amount of plays he could run due to his arm. It was his inability to read calls from the sideline that lead to him wearing the cheat sheet.

This article talks about Romo implementing a cheat sheet because he was having trouble getting plays in on time. It had nothing to do with expanded knowledge of the playbook.
